884 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Tool for copying/pasting selected entities along a path | Closed | |
|
Task Description
Not sure how complicated this one might be to develop/implement ?
But a tool for copying/pasting entities along a given path would be great. In the attached snapshot you can see what I am trying to acheive - to copy/paste the brick along a wall contour. A dedicated tool for doing something like this would be great...sure I can do it with the tools provided in QCAD already but it sure would make life so much easier if there was a tool specific for this kind of thing. I am actually working on some ‘real’work projects with these requirements and it does take a bit of time to get correct!
Or maybe an additional Points tool option to plant points along a curve would be good!

Task Description
While constructing around the lack of “Line tangent to a circle, perpendicular to a line” ( FS#881 ) which I hereby second :)), it struck me that it might be useful to have a tool that finds the center point of an existing circle/ellipse, or possibly more generally, the center point of an existing circular/elliptical arc.

Task Description
Somewhere in the 3.1 series the SVG exporter (both precise and PG) started to make lines that are zero (0) width in CAD 0.01 (@scale 1:1) points wide in exported files (0.1 @scale 1:10). I use such lines to constrain exported files to a common size and rather not have them show. In my view, this is a regression, as there is no reason for changing line weight, isnt it? If I wanted the lines to have weight, I’d draw them with a weight.

It would be nice if we could use the Stretch tool also on blocks.

It would be nice to have the possibility to control the automatic Text orientation in Block attributes. Something what would work like the DIM restriction: I can read the text horizontal and/or from the right side of the drawing sheet.
Right now I have the feeling that the Text orientation is dependent on the tool what I even use. Different tools = different outcomes.

Task Description
Just floating an idea, recently I’ve had to use the diameter symbol many times in texts. At this moment it’s a chore, as that usually means browser, look for a page with symbol in it, copy, paste.
I wonder if the text entry could have some sort of a box for “frequently used” characters (or even phrases, or whatnot, but I presume a handful special characters that everyone can tailor to their needs would already be a huge plus)? Like, a 3×3 to 5×5 matrix below the Alignment panel or something along these lines.

1003 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | QCAD Community Edition: add unicode support for layer n ... | Closed | |
|
Task Description
Community version (still on FBSD only), so dxflib. I suspect the culprit is dxflib.
I have created layers and blocks and whatnot with (hungarian) accented characters in their names. Apparently (according to the Internet, as evidenced probably most glaringly by usa.autodesk.com /adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=7586582&linkID=9240617) the R15 DXF version assumes single-byte character sets being used. Quick grepping the DXF2000 mentions “String (255-character maximum; less for Unicode strings)” (Group Code Value types), so it may be a false track...
Anyway, the DXF file written does have strings converted to single-byte encoding, but it seems it’s always ANSI-1252. When the output encoder encounters a character that is not representable in this one, it will use a literal question mark.
Actual case, I have a block with the name
106 egypólusú váltókapcsoló jelzőfénnyel
Of this, “ő” (U+0151) is not representable in ANSI-1252, so what gets written to the dxf is (non-ASCII shown in hex)
106 egyp<f3>lus<fa> v<e1>lt<f3>kapcsol<f3> jelz?f<e9>nnyel
Note the literal question mark.
Now the problem is this is an irreversible operation but the result is perfectly valid ANSI-1252, so upon opening the file again, I will get a block named
106 egypólusú váltókapcsoló jelz?fénnyel
IMHO the ideal resolution is to
Have a preference for the export code page (and use it, too, circumstances permitting)
Iff this is not set (or set to a default “Use system locale to determine” or something), use a look-up table to take a good guess (like old QCAD2 qcadlib/src/engine/rs_system.cpp:QCString RS_System::localeToISO())
If the output encoder encounters a character that is not representable in the target code page, throw an error with an option to ignore the error (and keep using question marks, but then this must have been acknowledged by the user so not silent problem anymore), pick a new output code page, whatever else
This all assuming the R15 doesn’t actually depends hardly on ANSI-1252 and ANSI-1252 only. In that case, option #3 would still be nice.
Most Western European languages (and English) are not affected by this as ANSI-1252 has most of them covered, but a little to the east, a little to the south, a little to the north, and it does make a bit of a difference :)

1005 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Making use of mouse buttons configurable | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
According to the help, one requires a middle mouse to pan. Since few standard mice have middle buttons, this is a poor choice for this all important function. The default should be the right mouse button when ever the mouse is placed in an open area with nothing else to select. That way right click can still be used to invoke a pop down menu when ever the mouse is placed over an object that might have a need for pop down menu options. Additionally, the Pan mouse key should be alterable and selectable from a Preferences option, since if one does have a three button mouse, we should not prevent a user from employing this hardware if they have it. The same might be said for all mouse buttons to allow the user to configure the mouse operation to that which is most comfortable and efficient for their tasks.

1007 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Making zoom in / out direction configurable | Closed | |

Maybe I missed it, but there does not appear to be a Preference selection for changing the zoom direction. The default is opposite the way it is on other programs and I would like to change it to be consistent between all my programs. My other programs provide this ability so I suppose I could change all of them, but that appears Orwellian on QCADs part.

1009 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Layer Order is Alphabetical vs the Order Defined Origin... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
It would appear that when QCAD imports a DXF, it reorders the layers into alphabetical order (at least when importing R2011). I have not tested this extensively but on other programs, the order is different from alphabetical. Ideally the operator should be given a choice to order the layers as exported (assuming the DXF format remembers that) or alphabetical. This is because a drawing may have a certain stack up of layers (like a printed circuit board) and then alphabetic ordering is not useful nor desired.

When we want to import a document SVG of Inkscape, copies are not managed. All the elements contained in the various copies find themselves in one and the same copy 0 in QCad-Prof.

If a part library file contains a block with block name==file name, QCAD could directly insert the file contents instead of grouping it into a new block with block name==file name.

1061 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Polygonal / Rectangular Marquee Tool ? | Closed | |
|
Task Description
Defining hatch areas at present is time consuming as you have to create an additional layer and amend as necessary to create a boundary. What would speed up this process is a multi function tool to create a closed boundary line that could be used for fills and hatches or to delete specific areas from a drawing. This tool could have the following sub menu:
* Polygonal Selection * Rectangular Selection (Use with modifier key to keep square) * Circular / Oval Selection (Use with modifier key to keep round)
Each tool could have the following options:
1. New selection 2. Add to selection 3. Delete from selection 4. Intersect with selection
This tool would be invaluable for speeding up work-flow, simple actions like trimming lines could be achieved with a simple selection and backspace to delete etc. Please give this some consideration, this could be a great amendment to QCAD !

Task Description
I have aliased qcad to run it from terminal. There is a small glitch when opening a file from a different location using relative path names:
$ alias qcad
alias qcad='/opt/qcad-3.6.0-pro-linux-x86_64/qcad'
$ cd /a
$ qcad some.dwg &
$ cd /b
$ qcad other.dwg
Import Error is shown:
> Can't open file
> /a/other.dwg.
> File is empty.
$ qcad /b/other.dwg # absolute path works
$ readlink /proc/pid-of-qcad/cwd
/opt/qcad-3.6.0-pro-linux-x86_64
Qcad somewhere stores the path, from where it is first launched. The next “launch” will not use the next location but refer to the first one when constructing the full path name of the file name in the argument.
Maybe that can be easily improved (the message is wrong too).

Task Description
I have created a drawing, where the CENTERS of the most outer lines have a distance of 3.06mm in both X and Y. The line weight of these outer lines is 0.6mm, so the whole image is 3.06mm + 2* 0.6mm/2 = 3.12mm wide and long (center to center plus half of the line weight on every side). Additionally in the export there is a frame around the image, making it 3.12 + 2*frame. The export function however calculates 3.06mm when setting the resolution to 1000Pix/cm, so it does not include the line weights and the outer frame.

When exporting to SVG it would be helpful if there was a selection of layers to export. E.g. when selecting only layer A in the SVG export dialog, only the objects located/displayed on layer A would be exported to SVG.
As an alternative or additional export feature, there could be an option to export each (non-empty) layer to a separate SVG in one step. The layer names could be used as (part of the) default file names during the export. E.g. Layer A of file XYZ would be exported to “XYZ_A.SVG” while layer B would be exported to “XYZ_B.SVG” etc.

1098 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Support for set of layers | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Many constructions refer to a basis of elements, which stay constant in all follow-ups. As an example there is a floorplan and I would like to create different variations of room layout (e.g. A and B). In my example the basis consists of 30 layers an each variation needs 10 further ones. At last there are 50 different layers in my drawing. Designing layout A needs layer 1 to 30 (basis) and 31 to 40 (A) to be shown, but 41 to 50 (B) must be invisible. Now I modify Var.B which makes me to single click the visibility of 31 to 40 (A) to be not shown and 41 to 50 (B) to be shown. You’ve got it?
It would be great help, to save the set of all shown layers by an individual name in a pulldown-menu. Visibility of my variations could be chosen by userdefined “set of layers”, e.g. “Var-A”, “Var-B” and “Var-A_but_different”. In this way I pick just one set-name in my pulldown-list instead of marking and demarking between countless layers.
In my opinion this tool would be a small aspect in QCad but a giant leap for user-pleasentness
