QCAD Bugtracker

It would be nice if one could not only change the icon size of the widget panel but also the icon size of the tool bars.

Choose number of copies when using ‘snap with distance to end’.

This might make sense for certain tools only.

Support drawing linetype scale factor (LTSCALE)

Calibrate printer X/Y ratio and possibly scale to allow accurate printing even on inaccurate printers.

Trying to build a hatch area sometimes results in “invalid hatch area”. It would be nice if QCAD could give a hint why / where the problem occurs (where is “line too long” or “not closed”).

You removed the button to show and hide grid

I cannot find it and when I turn the grid off and on

Switch grid from orthogonal to isometric.

Polylines may consist of lines and arcs. The SVG PG exporter writes them as all straight lines. A better mapping than polyline then was path, as is done with arcs now.

CAD Tool Bar: Back button should go back one menu. Possibly use two buttons, one to go back to the previous tool bar, one to go back to the main tool bar.

Print preview: auto center / scale

Text tool: options tool bar with text, angle, text height.

PDF Export: from file menu

1. When selecting the Scissors function, it deactivates after the cut is done. One can therefore not continuously select lines and cut it at the selected point. Each time the function has to be activated from the start.

Configure font used for dimensions.

• show a warning on the QCAD console if someone tries to draw on a locked layer

Set up fixed grid without any auto scaling or adjusting or meta grid at all.

Dimensions: Inch / Architectural: supporess 0 feet

Currently lineweights seem to be available up to 2.11mm,how about extending the range for some bigger lineweights!

Hi Andrew

It would be useful to have an option in the Circle tools to be able to draw a circle tangent to other entities such as lines/circles etc.

The Snap “Reference” is perfect working on circles.

I would be nice to have this function also on Arc’s.
There are many necessities to attach a Horizontal or Vertical line on an arc or an “ex circle” (circle after a cut,)rounds etc. in a professional drawing.

Make this an option. Default should be no icons since icons are unusual for Mac OS X application menus.

Possibility to draw Polygons with a given dimension for across flats (not only corners).

Scrolling with arrow keys

ISO project: circles and arcs as ellipses

status bar: avoid scientific display of large float numbers

Pretty icon for Gnome 3 desktop favorite.. Kind of subjective :)

Having practically no experience in scripting, a recorder that one could activate to memorize repetitive tasks (ie: inserting several layers with different attributes when starting a new drawing)would a useful tool to help get a start on scripting.

Wenn ich das Autosave System richtig verstanden habe funktioniert es so:

Nach Ablauf der eingestellten Zeit wird eine Datei mit Nummer im angegebenen Zielordner abgelegt.
Diese Nummer ist weder fortlaufend noch sicher auf- oder absteigend - also keinerlei Hinweis im Dateinamen für den Anwender welches nun die letzte Sicherung ist.
Ziel scheint zu sein das man eine Sicherung pro Tag hat, richtig?

Allerdings ist die Anzahl der Sicherungen pro Tag abhängig von der Anzahl der neu gestarteten QCAD Sitzungen. Starte ich das Programm einmal für den ganzen Tag habe ich eine einzige Sicherung von jeder bearbeiteten Zeichnung. Sicherungen haben dann die selbe Nummer und werden deshalb jeweils überschrieben.

Starte ich das Programm 10 mal pro Tag habe ich 10 Sicherungen (vorausgesetzt ich bearbeite die selbe Zeichnung in jeder Sitzung) mit unterschiedlichen und nicht in Reihe laufenden Nummern. Sicherungen können somit nicht überschrieben werden und am ende des Tages könnten leicht zig wenn nicht hunderte Sicherungen gespeichert sein.

Würde nun diese Nummer im Dateinamen ersetzt mit dem aktuellen Datum habe ich eine Sicherung pro Tag unabhängig wie oft ich QCAD an diesem Tag gestartet habe. Zudem kann der Anwender gleich den Sicherungstag im Dateinamen erkennen und muss sich nicht durch die “geändert am” Info sekundengenau kämpfen.

Macht das Sinn?

Assigning custom properties to entities and possibly layers and other objects.

Provide script functionality for entities:

• Paint or decorate entity, for example based on custom properties assigned to the entity
• Listen and react to events

Construction lines (’infinite’ lines).

Selecting two enteties as borders for the entety to trim on both ends.

Put the asterisk in tab title of modified files in front of the name, so it can be seen, when there are so many tabs, that the names will be truncated.

It would be extremely helpful, if marked objects could be moved/rotated/scaled in a single step with two reference points as source and two reference poitns as destination. With a tool like this, “should match”-drawings could be merged easily.

It would be very useful to be able to “dock” the library browser in the main QCAD window.

It would be nice if QCad would print only objects inside page margins (i.e. to print a detail of a large drawing with margins). At the moment objects are visible up to page borders, and exporting to PDF with re-printing to a larger page contains even more objects.

Block with hatch scaled with factor in X different from factor in Y leads to problems if contour contains arcs (which cannot / are not scaled disproportionally).

It would be nice to have a selectable fonts for dimension text.

In the 2.2.2 version was possible to suppress the display keycodes in menus. You can also restore it in version 3?

See attach.

Is it possible to add the “R” prefix (Radius) in the label drop box when dimensioning?
