2213 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Allow editing Spindle Speed separately for each Toolpat... | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
Hello dear CAM developers!
I need to use the same tool at different spindle speed in a single machining file. I would deeply appreciate if you could add a Spindle Speed edit field in the CAM Profile Toolpath edit window in order that each Toolpath can have its own Spindle Speed value (same as you did for Feed Rate and Plunge Rate)
FYI, the tool on my concern is a laser who’s power is driven by the Spindle Speed PWM signal. I need to be able to do both engraving and cutting in a single file. Alas! this laser tool is defined with a fix and unique number (99). Therefore I cannot define different laser tools with different speeds.
Many thanks Best regards.

|
Task Description
I think it would be nice to have more flexibility for Prefix etc. option (not only the drop down with a given choice) and a remember function for all those fields like postfix and tolerance.
Why Remember Function: If I use a postfix like <>” in the postfix field I’m only able to use it for this particular dimension type at this time. If I change the type (from Horizontal to vertical or what ever) I have always to repeat my postfix. The same with tolerances.

Hi,

|
Task Description
Ziehe ich mit der Maus eine normale Auswahlbox kann ich Elemente markieren. Möchte ich einzelne Bereiche wieder herausnehmen muss ich alle Elemente einzeln anklicken (mit gedrückter Shift Taste). Ich kann zwar dies komfortabler gestalten mit der Select → (De -) Select Contour Funktion welche aber erst über das Menue aufgerufen werden muss.
So wie ich einzelne Elemente mit der Maus auswählen und mit der Shift-Maus Funktion deselektieren kann wäre es schön wenn die Shift Taste auch bei Auswahlbereichen direkt zum deselektieren eingesetzt werden könnte.

564 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Settings organisation in level | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
As an old professional “documentation writer and user inteface designer” but IMHO, I’m not convinced that the “Application preferences” are correctly organised for ease of understanding and using them. These settings are organised in 2 levels. Some of the first levels have their own settings (e.g. “Graphics view”) while most others don’t (e.g. “Load/save”). May I humbly suggest some consistency rules : - no sub-level if there is only one subject - no items on main level if there are already 1 or more sub-level(s). For instance : - sub-level “Default Dimension settings” under “Dimension” is the only sub-level : then move these items under main level “Dimension” and suppress the sub-level ; - the items under “Graphics view” main level (with several sub-levels)could be in a sub-level named “General” ; Actually, “Graphics view” main level is the only one which has both its own items and sub-levels )) ?

596 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Tool "Lengthen" mit "Total" erweitern oder .... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Eine oft Hilfreiche Zeit/Klick sparende Erweiterung wäre eine “Total” Option bei dem “Lengthen” Tool.
Aktuell ist es mit dieser Funktion möglich ein Element zu verlängern oder zu verkürzen um den Amount X. Der Referenzpunkt (von welchem Ende) kann bestimmt werden.
Die Erweiterung die ich mir wünschen würde wäre auch ein “Total” um ein Element auf eine bestimmte Länge zu bringen ohne einen Taschenrechner benutzen zu müssen. Referenz (welches Ende oder Mitte) sollte (muss) dafür wählbar sein.
Die Funktion “Property editor” stellt bereits über die Geometry Eigenschaften die Möglichkeit zur Verfügung einen “Total” Wert zu manipulieren. Leider bin ich aber hierbei nicht in der Lage zu bestimmen welcher Element Referenzpunkt dafür benutzt werden soll. Könnte ich die Referenz wählen (welches Ende oder Mitte) wäre auch dies dann durchaus akzeptabel

601 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Für Berechnungen neu zu erstellende Elemente Werte von ... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Es wäre schön wenn ich Werte wie zum Beispiel Längen von Linien direkt abgreifen könnte um diese weiter in Berechnungen verwenden zu können.
Beispiel: Ich habe eine Linie konstruiert wobei sich eine Länge y ergeben hat.
Nun möchte ich eine Linie zeichnen die 5 mal y sein soll.
Linientool → Wert 5* eingeben und y durch Auswahl mit der Maus von dem vorhandenen Elements übernehmen.
Natürlich könnte ich die Geometrie Info benutzen um den Wert abzulesen oder auch über die Zwischenablage zu benutzen. Ein abgreifen mit der Maus wäre aber schneller, direkter und wahrscheinlich auch mit weniger Fehlern (Human error) verbunden. Wahrscheinlich auch genauer da QCad, denke ich, mit mehr Nachkommastellen rechnet, oder?

Just a thought, but one that could be useful for machinists in particular - a measurement tool that can snap to a point as per usual, but then just displays the drawing coordinates in X and Y. This could be expanded to the dimensions tool set, so that you can click on a point and print the coordinates next to it.

Is there any possibility to make the scrollbars smaller or just a line to separate the windows so that I have to navigate with Keyboard and mouse?
2. I thing the Viewports and the View List belongs together - is it possible to get a button in the “View List / Tool Bar” to choose a Viewport style instead of “walking” the long way over the “Drawing preferences” Menu?

Task Description
It would be useful if a file of keyboard shortcuts to commands could be loaded.
Then a set of shortcuts identical/based on the Autocad keyboard shortcuts can be loaded, making it much easier for Autocad users to migrate to your product.
There does seem to be some future functionality planned here, with the shortcut ‘scheme’ selector in Program Preferences, but for the moment ‘Qcad’ is the only option available.
This strategy is used to great effect by Draftsight (but who trusts a big company like Dassault/Solidworks...)

|
Task Description
Task: If I like to make a hatch and the contour isn’t closed I get a Grey circle Info where the contour isn’t closed. Nice!
But ..... I have this Info only for ONE not proper connection and only for the moment when the mouse pointer is over the Hatch Tool Symbol.
If I have to zoom into the Problem - I will lose the Info where the problem is
To get the “Problem Info” back I have to select it again - but for that I have to zoom out ...............
It would be nice to have this “Problem Info” longer in the drawing - maybe until I solved all problems.
And it would be nice to have ALL Infos for not connected lines at the same time. It is not really helpful to repeat this function 20times if I have 20 connection problems ... ;)

Right now you have to navigate again and again for every item what you will save in the same directory. If you have to save 20 items - it sacks
Also would it be nice for an easy “Clean up” to have the possibility to delete items directly in the Library Browser window. Right now you have to use extern Programs like the Windows explorer to move or delete items.

724 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Useless reference point entering when moving relatively | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Hi, this is a usability feature request:
If you want to move an object relatively to any point (e.g. by entering @x;y in commandline) it does’nt make sense to enter a starting reference point. Of course this is possible by clicking to any location on the screen. But it’s difficult to change between mouse and keyboard so often.
It should be possible to enter a “don’t care” or “any” reference point by pressing a keyboard shortcut (e.g. enter like in AutoCAD).

It would be nice to have the option for a “Short” Extension Line. This is often used in Architectural drawings. Yes, I know that I can explode a dimension and change it to that what I’m asking for - but that is really a Sisyphus task and destructs the function of a dynamic Dimension in QCAD.

792 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | New 'Match' properties tool | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
To add a new ‘Match’ properties tool.
For example, I have a large drawing with lots and lots of entities on various layers and I want to select some entities (say 500 or more) which are all on different layers and change all these selected entities to match the properties of one other particular entity - but, but I want the ‘Matched’ entities to remain on their own layers.
OK, of course I can use the property editor for this and this is fine in most instances but I would first need to determine the the layer data for the properties of the entity I would like to match to (Color, Line weight and Line type) in the first place and then I need to remember these attributes in order to change things in the property editor in order to change all of my selection to match!
As I say mostly the above procedure would be fine to use but for convenience it would be great to have a new tool to do all this for me and cut out a few steps in the process.
A new ‘Match’ properties tool procedure could be something like this:
1. Select Match properties tool.
2. Select all entities to be matched.
3. Select entity to match to.
4. Tick or leave un-ticked - move to same layer.
5. Complete process.
* Actually, while writing this I`ve just thought of another useful addition which could be added to the Info tool set, ‘Entity’ properties info! Example - click on Info > Entity Properties and click on the entity in question and then the properties are displayed without going to the layer data for this! Just an idea ;)

805 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Create tool radius compensation / tool path generation | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
This is how I would implement this:
This would be a modification tool. Parts are selected, a toolpath is generated, and a dialog pops up to allow putting the tool path into an existing layer, a new layer, or replace all drawings in an existing layer.
This is how the toolpath is generated:
We iterate through all elements and explode everything but text into line segments. Then we connect the line segments into chains wherever the line endpoints are less than some tolerance away from each other. The chains can be very chaotic, but at least we have separate entities for now.
For every chain, we need to find the largest complete loop. A good drawing would only contain non-overlapping loops, but we can’t expect that. Everything that is not on this loop can not be defined as a part or as a hole, so we will merely create a tool path segment that is equivalent to the line segment. Every segment that *IS* on a loop is either an outside edge (part outline), or an inside edge (hole outline), (or overlapping, in which case it is neither, and we have an operator problem).
In a perfect world, we need to find exactly which shape is inside which other shape, and then create alternating tool offsets from the outmost loop (part edge) to the second outmost (hole), to the next (part) etc. .
In a simplified world, we can used the bounding box of the loop instead. This works OK for rectangular shapes, but a circle next to an “L” shape could be seen as inside the L’s bounding box, hence inside the L, wrongly accused of being a hole, not a part.
Now all that is left to do is to create a new loop, offset by the tool radius. Oh, and since we have the connections from line segment to line segment in the correct order already, we can use the opportunity to order all cutting loops from inner to outer, or from small to large, and order non-loop edges by travel distance.
The new drawing in the new layer can now be exported without further hassle to create a nice laser cut file.
PS: of course, a user could create multiple layers for marking, cutting, enraging, etc. . Additional Layer attributes for cutting speed and laser power (and a few more) would be needed.

In addition to that it would be nice to have the possibility to count up or down a couple areas. E.g. I measure area 1 plus area 2 or area 1 minus area 2 ... Maybe just with an additional keystroke like + or -
