Hi,
we have already this nice tool “Angle bisector”.
I would really appreciate if we could get the same function for parallel lines to place a line exactly in the center of both lines.

It would be nice to get:

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.

2018 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Layer visibility setting per view/view-port | Assigned | |
4 |
Task Description
In a medium complex drawing it’s often too much details to have all layers in a drawing visible at once. Also, it is of great importance to be able to have a single model to avoid duplication of work and risk inconsistency.
So i would like to create a number of views where each view has selected layers visible (that makes sense for the purpose of the view) and then assign the views to different layout blocks (using view-ports) in paper-space to be able to setup printing of several views on the same page/PDF
This also means that view-ports would have to be aware of what view they are displaying (if any besides the standard-view). This will then make it possible for printouts of different views with selected layers visible (different for each view and view-port) and still have only one model. Today this is not possible.
As it is today the only limited workaround is to set the layers you want to display, print/PDF of that viewport on separate page, and then change it for the next page, and so on. The big drawback is that you cannot have two different views/view-ports on the same page with different layers visible. Also, for large drawing it is painful to have to do a lot of manual setup for each rendering of the complete drawing.

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.

Task Description
To improve useability/efficiency I would like to propose the following changes/additions to the layer list:
1) Combining the show and hide button into one button.
Clicking once will hide all layers, clicking again will show them all again.
2) A “lock/unlock” button.
Clicking once will lock all layers, clicking again will unlock them all again.
Regarding the icons I suggest that instead of show both the black and grey version of the eye/lock, you could switch between them depending on the state the switch-button is in. Also the mouse-over-text could/should change with the state.

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 ... ;)

763 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Hatching with just one click | Assigned | |
7 |
Task Description
My task: To hatch an area.
Right now, if I want to fill an area with a hatch pattern, I have to select all the enclosing objects (lines, arcs) and then I can select the hatch tool. That can be under some circumstances a tedious task. To illustrate this, I created a simple example (see Attachment 1: Hatching.png).
Step 1: Create a rectangle. Step 2: Draw four vertical lines. Step 3: Select the four lines surrounding the first area. –> Problem! The horizontal lines are too long. Step 4: Divide the long horizontal lines of the rectangle where the vertical lines touch. Now the lines surrounding the three areas can be selected. Step 5: Hatch the selection. Done.
Just for fun try recreating my second example (see Attachment 2: Hatching2.png)
Therefore I would like to suggest a far more simple approach.
Step 1: Select the Hatch Tool. Step 2: Click inside the area you would like to be hatched. Done.
Of course that would mean that the hatch style is already pre-defined and can be changed later, if needed.
In this way productivity can be increased by ... [fill in you own estimate] ... times.
Example 2 would need only 13 clicks to hatch all the areas (including the hatch tool button).

Es wäre schön wenn ich Werte wie zum Beispiel Längen von Linien direkt abgreifen könnte um diese weiter in Berechnungen verwenden zu können.

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?

Dear Andrew, just in case you should ever run out of ideas for enhancements; As an advisor I sometimes get PDF files and recently, some CAD drawings contained layers, which is kind of nifty to reduce the clutter.
Sadly though, qprinter/qpainter seem to be unaware of OCG (Optional Content Groups, the PDF jargon for layers) at the moment, so my plea is for the back burner now. Probably in SVG though it can be done? Yet that is of a little less use, maybe…

Task Description
When working with several files is normal also to work in several folders, this can be confusing, expecially in the case where there are different folders with equal file names. I propose the creation of a “Open file location”. This, probably under the main menu, “File”, when clicked would open the standard “file explorer” with the folder that contains the current file already selected. It would be quite similar to the windows 8/10 “Open file location”.

1663 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Feature Request: Export Layers as New Drawing | Assigned | |
2 |
Task Description
Hi!
in many tasks in qcad I ended up exporting one or several layers into individual files for some cnc jobs or further processing. So the steps I usually do are:
select all elements on the layer
paste into new drawing
sometimes rename layer names or attributes
adjust dimension settings
save and give name for drawing
Sometimes I have up to 100 layers I need to export like this, so an automatic export for all would be time saving too. But very often a “single click” export method would also help a lot. (e.g. inside the layer list an entry in the right click menue like “save as new file”). Also a multiple selection would be handy if more that one layer should end up in the new file. (e.g. select the three layers that need to be in the new document, then right click and save as new file). Maybe this is too much of changes needed inside the layer list - so something like a separate layer export dialogue would make sense.
When exporting many layers some variables for automatic naming of layers and filename would make sense e.g. user can specify basename_%L.dxf to get the basename_layername.dxf or just an increasing number.
For layers and attributes it is often needed to give a layer a certain name or color for different cnc processes (e.g. engraving and cutting for lasers) or to put everything on layer “0” because of some old CAM software that only supports content on layer 0.
probably many more details would make sense that I didn’t think of yet...
kind regards Martin

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.
