Task Description
Im Zuge einer Zeichnungserstellung entstehen viele Layer. Auch Library Items oder Kopien aus anderen Zeichnungen können noch viele Layer hinzu bringen. Um die Übersicht zu behalten sollten deshalb nicht oder nicht mehr gebrauchte “Leere Layer” nach Fertigstellung (oder auch zwischendurch) der Zeichnung entfernt werden. Diese herauszufinden gestaltet sich als sehr aufwendig weshalb ich eine Kennzeichnung der leeren Layer als sehr nützlich empfinden würde.

589 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Total Length of selected entities komfortabler anzeigen ... | Closed | |
|
Task Description
Es wäre schön wenn die “Total Length of selected entities” etwas komfortabler angezeigt würde.
Ich arbeite meistens ohne “Command line”. Benutze ich das “Info Tool” um die Total Length zu erhalten erhalte ich leider keinen Hinweis wo diese angezeigt wird. Diese wird nur in der “Command line” angezeigt ....
Zwei Lösungen könnte ich mir vorstellen: 1. Anzeige in der Zeichnung am Mauszeiger ... 2. Anzeige im Property Editor, Geometry, Length (dann natürlich Addiert) anstatt *VARIES*.
Die 2. Lösung halte ich persönlich als die elegante Variante da es eine logisch nachvollziehbare Aussage ist. Zudem erspart es einige Mausklicks auf dem Weg zum Infotool um die gewünschte Info zu bekommen.
Bemaßungen sollten, wenn sie nicht aufgelöst sind, ignoriert werden.

Task Description
Ich habe versucht die Template Vorlage von Clive (danke dafür!) für meine Bedürfnisse anzupassen.
Clives Template: http://www.ribbonsoft.com/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=1975
Für meine Templates benötige ich die Symbole der Projektionsmethode 1 UND die Projektionsmethode 3.
Deshalb habe ich jeweils einen Block für die Symbole entworfen welche in dem Template an der selben Stelle platziert sind und entsprechend ein- bzw. ausgeblendet werden sollen. Beim aufrufen des Templates soll natürlich einer der Blöcke bereits sichtbar sein.
Leider kann ich aber einen Unsichtbar geschalteten Block nicht als solches abspeichern was dazu führt das ich beim aufrufen des Templates mehrere Blöcke sichtbar übereinander habe. Layer kann ich als unsichtbar abspeichern.
Ich sehe sehr viele Verwendungen um mit sichtbaren/unsichtbaren Blöcken ein Template vorzubereiten. Da es mit Layern funktioniert denke ich mir sollte es auch mit Blöcken machbar sein.
Oder ist es ein Bug?

591 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Library Browser - No Docking? | Closed | |
|
Task Description
Hi,
There are a couple of things from QCAD2.2.2 to QCAD3 that work, but do not seem as fluent. Sorry if this has been reported, there are a lot of feature requests in German that I can not read!
We nearly always use a file library, which was accesible easily via a box in the corner of QCAD
1) The Library browser does not recollect the last open tab status and library selected, so each time you open it, you have to move back to the library.
2) As it opens as a separate window, each time I move away from QCAD and back its gone behind ala GIMP style. It would be much nicer if it was dockable.
3) It would be nice to have a refresh now, rather than a refresh next time it starts.
Also other bit if you want it
1) Key press Alt+F, A will highlight “Save As” but does not select it. I would have expected a SaveAs Dialog to come straight up

Es wäre schön wenn ich einen Kreis zwischen Elemente platzieren könnte indem ich die Begrenzung nicht durch Punkte sondern durch Elemente angeben könnte.

Hilfskonstruktionen oder der Umweg über Round RN (was allerdings nur bei geraden Linien funktionieren kann) würden dadurch entfallen.
Laienhaft könnte ich mir vorstellen das die Grundlage für diese Funktion bereits in der Round (RN) Funktion existiert ...

607 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Warning needed | Closed | |

Task Description
When trying to Move an object to a layer that is locked nothing happens and no warning, so it difficult to figer out what is the reason.
The same happens when the default layer is locket. No way to add an object and no warning helps to understand what is going on.
A warning message should be displayed when such a situation occurs.
May be the default layer should never be locked.

619 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Status bar - X,Y etc. input fields | Closed | |

Task Description
It could be very useful to have in the status bar area - input fields for typing in X and Y position, Distance and Angle etc...
For example these could be used instead of entering absolute/relative coordinates in the command line.
1.Draw line. 2.Start point - enter in X Field. 3.Next point - enter in Y Field.
This method could also be used for specifying positions when placing other entities.
For me I tend to use a combination of the command line/GUI for most work but I think for those who do not wish to use the command line this could be useful.

Task Description
If we use a dash line type and set the overall linetype factor to 100 on a drawing (plan of 20metres x 20 metres approx) and then come to print it on A3, the linetype is not being scalled back from 20metres to suit the page extents.
So instead of lots of dashes we see just 2 strikes across the page. For now we set the linefactor low, which is good for printing, but now appears a solid line in the display unless we really zoom in.

Hi,
I’m using QCAD2 quite a while now and after moving from FreeBSD-i386 to FreeBSD-amd64 there are some libraries missing in the 32 bit version (libXi and some more).
I’d strongly suggest making a 64 bit compilation of the pro version. The community edition does compile and run on FBSD-amd64 very well.
Maybe ths would better be posted to the suggestion list of the upcoming version 3 ...

643 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Zooming mode of operation | Closed | |
|
Task Description
I just realized, that Zoom-in and Zoom-out (with the mousewheel) works different from graphical editors I know (as soon as drawing is larger than full screen).
Graphical editor (PSP X2 (and other too I think)): Will make the position of the cursor the center of the drawing area. Thus allowing very fast to reposition the viewable area without changing into a move mode (Hand icon) and without the rulers on the left or down of the drawing area. The reposition is very handsome! But this solution is only half way practical: If you use the wheel twice to zoom twice in sequence without moving the cursor, it will reposition the image twice - this double reposition is not practical at all, as the second reposition is rather random!
QCAD: Lets the center unchanged and just zooms-in or Zooms-out. .
My proposal: - Zoom-in or Zoom-out around the current position of the cursor - move this current position to the center of the screen - move the cursor itself to the center of the screen (thus avoiding to shift the image again with a subsequent zoom-operation
if the user uses a second zoom-op the new center remains mostly fixed. This would allow best of both solutions:
but the user is free to make an other area of the drawing the new center if he actively moves the cursor again.
I think this would be very simple, intuitive and efficient to handle, reducing the need to reposition the drawing manually a lot.
Actually I think earlier version of graphical editors I used worked with were implemented that way.
Caveat: I’m not an extensive CAD user. Maybe there are special requests for this type of work that are in contradiction to my idea. Maybe it would be practical to activate this type of zooming when used along with <ALT>. Hmmm - no: Allow original QCAD-zooming with <ALT>!
.
By the way: Mouse right-click seems never assigned in QCAD. In Windows a user usually expects ‘Properties’ to be activated with right-click. But I think with the clever way you implemented this, there is no real need to change this. As the standard is already broken: Why not assign permanently a ‘Move’ (Hand icon) to ‘right-click’...

Hi Andrew,
I am guessing this is an external library, but you maybe able to push it upstream.
Certain Autocad DWG files with embeded blocks fail to display text that was associated with them. For example see grid ref D.03 in the attached autocad drawing, the circles are terminals and should have nos in them.
Have tried exploding them in qcad etc, but nothing.

656 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Very Low | Data should not be in programs directory | Closed | |
|
Task Description
QCAD2 offered the user to specify in the program settings where these directories should be/go, and took the first one in each list as default; QCAD3 only offers to enter auxiliary library and template directories and has no provisions for defaults.
All associated data (scipts, templates, libraries, patterns, fonts) is stored under the program directory, exactly where it should not be. Windows 7 and higher default prevent modifying the programs directory by redirecting the writes. An extra user-input during the Windows install process would be in order.
QCAD3 should offer the user to specify any and all data directories involved (including the auto save), and make it possible to specify a default for each. This list could be initialised with the installation defaults, or default to the installation directories when empty.

It would be nice if one could - select - deselect from the current selection all entities with a specific property, for example: - all entities which are texts - all entities with angle === 180 - all entities with color !== red The current property editor has the perfect gui for it. On a similar gui one could change a value there which changes the selection instead of the properties of the selected entities.
I think there would be no need for “and” or “or”, if the current selection can be reduced or extended.

Currently the workaround is to first select the polyline (which shows the nodes), then choose the tool, then AGAIN select the polyline and then start clicking on the nodes.
