Task Description
With that new feature the information tool shows the absolute paper units in the print preview mode instead of drawing units. So you can determine the exact size of an entity in the printout without manual calculating with the drawing units and the scale factor.

Task Description
Optionally show context menu when right-mouse button is clicked on top of entity.
Originally from FS#1111: “Furthermore, the two named applications show that it’s easily possible to combine dragging (mouse pressed) and context menu (mouse clicked) on the same mouse button. Providing a context menu would increase the usability especially for people used to Windows default applications. I.e. deleting, copying, creating polylines from segments, breaking up blocks/polylines would be functions I’d find useful in a context menu.”

It would be very useful to have the same possibility for Isometric projection like the Paste tool etc..

If I like to have this new Isometric Projection on a different layer I have to reselect the projection and move it to that layer. That is plain inconvenient.

1362 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | new layer tool: Toggle visibility all | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
Hi,
I use a lot of “temp” layer to keep my drawing organized during a design session. Ad the end of the day (or week or month ...) I need to get rid of this “garbage” but unfortunately there is no easy way to delete all this layer in one go. Most of the time those layer are invisible. The “important layer” are visible. If I could toggle all layer from visible in invisible in one go with a switch like “Toggle visible layer all” and then use “Select all” / delete / Purge unused layer I’m able do get rid of this stuff with just a few clicks.
The same tool would help to improve the workflow in the case that I just have to switch between all visible / invisible layer for testing / double checking / cleaning or what ever. Currently I have to toggle every single layer to get this done and if I work with many layer I need to have a perfect working memory (or a piece of paper with many notes!) to be able to restore the same desired working order.
And I’m confident - there are many more useful scenarios for a tool like this one ...

Task Description
Attached DWG/DXF files are incorrectly read by QCAD. They contain splines drawn using ZWCAD and saved as DWG/DXF version 2000. Above splines are polylines created with autolisp routine which converts spline to polyline, so you can see how splines should actually be drawn.
First spline is created with fit points: 2,2 4,4 6,2 Then copied and applied weight of 2 on central control point. Then copied again and applied weight of 0.5 on central control point.
Second spline is created with fit points: 6,2 8,4 10,2 with vertical start and end tangent. Then copied and applied fit tolerance of 1 for fit points.
Third spline is created with fit points: 10,2 12,4 14,2 with horizontal start and end tangent.
Fourth and fifth spline are correctly drawn by QCAD.

Task Description
Hi,
from time to time I need to place a circle etc precisely between two entity’s - what is a lot of construction work to get it correct. With the new “Info tool “Distance Entity to Entity” we have already the base for a new snap tool which could help to get rid of the time consuming construction process in cases like this. I would appreciate to get a new snap tool which is able to figure out the shortest distance between to entity’s and then will snap to the middle of it.
Pic 1: Given situation Pic 2: Result after using this new snap tool
Would it make also cense to have a second new snap tool which works opposite for the furthermost distance between two entity’s?

Task Description
After designing one ore more parts you may want to produce them.
Maybe it is a flat part, made out of copper sheet metal. You need several copies of the part and you wonder how you can arrange them on your sheet metal in a clever way, so that you end up with as little waste as possible.
And here software could really speed up the process. It would be a great addition to QCADs CAM abilities if it would be able to produce a cutplan.
Enter the size of the sheet metal (or whatever material), select the part(s), enter number of copies and let QCAD find the best way(s) of arrangement. Additional parameters could be clearance between parts and border margin.

It would be very convenient to have an additional tool for a Polygon which has the possibility to ask me for the center, corners and the length of the sides.

Hi,
I use eagle cad for pcb designs and I like its ability to snap to finer snap to grid when pressing option button (ALT in windows). I am fine with auto grid setting, however, it would be good to also have a way to access finer grid when pressing down option button.
For example, when zoomed out, grid is 100mm apart. When pressing down on the option button (ALT in windows), grid switches to finer 10mm. This will save me time, zooming in to access finer grid to snap to.

Task Description
When working with several files is normal also to work in several folders, this can be confusing, expecially in the case where there are different folders with equal file names. I propose the creation of a “Open file location”. This, probably under the main menu, “File”, when clicked would open the standard “file explorer” with the folder that contains the current file already selected. It would be quite similar to the windows 8/10 “Open file location”.

1472 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Arc fit tool to improve large files | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
Large files/large entities perform bad in QCad. There are many dxf files that are created with thousand of lines that perform reasonable in other cad’s/cam’s that qcad cannot match.
One very useful tool, that could be added would help to improve qcad performance and at the same time enlarge the dxf quality (by replacing thousand of files by arcs), would be a tool called “arc fit” where, when possible and under a determined possible error margin (user selectable) creates arcs replacing the existing lines. This would improve the file work in QCad also improves CAM software that would work after QCad, that I think is important for many users.
For example, if it is needed to use qcad to generate toolpaths for letters, after exploding letters, the output is almost impossible to work due to the number of lines that are created. Having arcs instead of lines would greatly improve qcad use.

1473 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | "Partial" circular/radial dimensions | Assigned | |
2 |
Task Description
This is kind of related to FS#952, or rather a superset of it.
Consider the situation in the attached image. There is a perfectly good, albeit really shallow arc, making the radius somewhere in the vicinity of 600 millimeters, and the radial dimension being drawn accordingly.
Considering the other dimensions of the part, this is completely unusable, even to work with, really, but definitely so when it needs to be put on paper.
It would be nice to have some sort of “partial” (for my lack of a better word) radial/diametric dimensions where the dimension length can be adjusted.
Considering that this can be done with Leader, maybe a better (more generic) solution would be for Leader type dimensions to have options so they could automatically generate labels for various dimensions of a selected entity – sort of like having the Prefix/Tolerance/Scale options the other dimensions have, and have some additional fields there for selected entity and maybe dimension type (for example, radial or diametric for an arc-type entity).

This would help tremendously when a lot of dimensions are needed!
