[solved] Auto Fit Drawing to Paper Never Works for Me

Windows 10 QCAD Pro 3.27.6.0(3.27.6) Over many QCAD versions and many projects, I have tried to use the Autofit Drawing to Paper feature and it never works. This has been the case for printing to 8.5x11 and my large format printer at 24". It also doesn't work when the drawing units are imperial or m...

Re: Drawing Preference Feet Drawing Inches

ryancousins and Husky, I really appreciate the quick detailed responses. I'll give your suggestions a go. I don't typically create drafts on this large of a scale, but I do have a bunch of house plans I need to do now. This will be fun! QCAD has never failed me yet. It is usually my own lack of know...

Re: Drawing Preference Feet Drawing Inches

Thank you Andrew and Husky for your quick response. Using inches on a 20 acre plot map gets a bit silly, but I will if I must. If I stick with the inches as the drawing unit, how do I get my dimensions to show feet (and inches) as you've indicated? Will QCAD do it for me or do I have to manually ent...

[solved] Drawing Preference Feet Drawing Inches

Version: 3.26.3.0 Windows 64bit As you can see in the attached screenshot, I have my Drawing Preferences set to feet. I set this immediately after creating a new drawing. However, you can see in the display of dimensions that it shows inches. Also, when you enter values into input boxes it assumes t...

Sure. Here is the file. It's a bit of a mess, but you can clearly see the issue.

Double Offset on Select Polylines

This is on Windows 8.1, QCAD version 3.14.3.0 (although it was happening on my old 3.12, too). I've got curves that I've converted (exploded) to polylines so that I can offset them. The Polyline offset works on some curves, I can choose either side, but on others it does a double offset. I'm not cha...

Repopulate QT Widget based on XML File

Andrew, The add-on that I created is working well. There is one thing I was not able to accomplish that needs to be done. Right now, the only data that is opened in the QT widget dialog is the last data set entered. I would like the ability to select any prior XML file to populate the widget for cha...

Re: Fearless Pattern Drafting with QCAD

Husky, You don't have any instructions, so I know this is pretty confusing. The xml files are created by the user prior to drafting. I included some pre-made measurement files you can use and included them in the FMScripts directory. Locate the xmlFiles directory in FMScripts and there are three dif...

Re: Fearless Pattern Drafting with QCAD

Husky, I think I've fixed the QT forms so they are more usable. I installed QCAD on my VMWare Windows to have a look. They still look really different in Windows and Mac. WindowsDialog.jpg MacDialog.jpg I hard coded the font size to 12, but the OS's are interpreting it differently. I think it will b...

Re: Fearless Pattern Drafting with QCAD

Husky, The forms look very different on your computer, which must be Windows or Linux. I'm on a Mac. My forms don't have that much blank space in them. You're right, the titles are ridiculously large and I should have addressed the dialog box title. You can tell that I was really avoiding the QT wor...

Fearless Pattern Drafting with QCAD

Fearless Pattern Drafting with QCAD I’ve created an add-on to QCAD that I would like to share. It drafts sewing basic block patterns from a list of measurements. Sorry for the long post, but I think an explanation might prove helpful. There are a few software products available that draft sewing pat...
