1934 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Diametric text - overlaid | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Diametric text is always placed above a horizontal measurement.
I often want to indicate both the inside and outside diameter of an object e.g. a wheel using diametric text. The text is overlaid and illegible.
To avoid text overlapping, I use Horizontal Aligned because I can control the position of the text to avoid illegible text.
A better method would be to alternate the placement of diametric text (alternatively) above and below a measurement so that in the majority of cases an overlap would be avoided.
Similarly for a vertical measurement, the text is overlaid and illegible.
When the angle is almost vertical, the angle controls the side the text appears however it also reverses the direction of the text (which is logical but not attractive).
Kind regards Simon

1977 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Corresponding coordinate format | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Hi,
It would be less confusing to read messages in the command line protocol if it would use the same coordinate separators like the settings below Application Preferences / General / Coordinate Format.
This example shows the “Absolute Cartesian Coordinate” but of course all corresponding format settings should be used within messages.
Absolute Cartesian Coordinate: Setting = semicolon (;) but the message will use division (/).

2034 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Paint Properties to include modifying linetype scales w... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Previous Feature Request #1285, dated 2015, incorporated in QCADPro 3.24. I regularly adjust linetype scales on hidden, centreline and phantom lines to achieve the best appearance on the drawing when printed. I note the Paint Properties feature copies all the attributes of the chosen line but does not copy the scale. I have to change the scale of each line, even after ‘painting’. This copying all Properties is something AutoCAD does. I know I could change the line to Hidden2 etc. and tick the ‘scale lines’ box in Drawing Properties but that is not always successful- copying properties is a quick and useful way of achieving the required result. QCAD Pro 3.24 Windows10.

Task Description
If I’ve to duplicate a layer with a bunch of sub-layer it’s a kind of a Sisyphus task to get it done. Currently I have to duplicate each single layer. Then in an additional step I’ve to address each child layer to the proper parent layer.
Current lack: Marked parent layer with all sub-layer / Duplicate Layer / only ONE layer will be duplicated.
With other words: If I have to duplicate a layer with 5 sub-layer it requires 11 steps to get a copy of that tree ...

1877 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Post Processor Tutorial | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Hallo Andrew,
I am still busy on the never ending G-code story. Doing so I wrote a small Post Processor Tutorial for all those nerds who wants to write their own. If you like it you might add it to QCAD. However, since English is not my native tongue I suggest checking it would be wise.
Meanwhile I have downloaded the source code, and could not find the CAM’s Drill-path-script. I am now using a negative Drill Cut Depth to set a Laser Dwell time, were as a field “Dwell Time (in seconds)” in the Drill-path would be more appropiate. Is this script open source available or is it part of ‘closed part’ of QCAD?

Task Description
With a Mac (and no external mouse) there’s no middle button so it’s not possible to pan the 3D view (that’s what they tell me in the forum). It would be useful if one could use command-drag or control-drag to pan around the 3D view.
