This is the community version 3.28.2.0 (3.28.2), I don't find the IS command and IS does nothing here. Yes, I found a polyline has total in the properties, that might help sometimes... but measuring over different objects is not possible like that. Creating a temporary polyline for the measurement i...

When using IP to measure distance from point to point, how do I summarize that on the fly, for instance measuring a circumference of objects?

Isn't this "Go Back" function just the same like any hyperlinked browser must support? Yes, it is the custom path history that needs to be recorded for not having ambiguous back pathes available. That FIFO history might save the last 20 locations. In my opinion it is a comparable use case when brows...

Hi, I have layers with custom colors. When editing such a layer, opening the custom color again for copying the color code in order to create a new layer of the same color, QCad is always crashing: (process:19053): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 11:33:23.668: _gtk_css_lookup_resolve: assertion '(((__extension__ (...

Thanks for the file. I can not replicate the disappearing/re-appearing nor the discontinued snapping options. Bad thing. Could you please try with the exact version built for 64bit? Why are you using a 32bit build after amd64 arch has become default since many years? Almost everything is built for ...

Nested blocks are a common practice.

Hi, any comments if this is useful?

Thank you all for the discussion. You all are of a more advanced level in QCad and general CAD than I am, so a bit difficult to follow. Now I know what you mean with byLayer and byBlock. Actually I only use byLayer for entities. Entities are lines, circles etc.? For those basic entities I always hav...

But I don't want to close any of the windows. I just can't leave the command line without a focus switch from the drawing area and back to that.

Sorry, I don't understand your response. What do you mean with byBlock? Does that mean, you agree with my thoughts that it is confusing to have a block of a layer and inside the block you have different layers? To be honest, I don't see a requirement at all to have layer on blocks. Why should a bloc...

Where can I file a feature request? Is https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewforum.php?f=31 the place to do that?

Hi, what is a good design for blocks and their layers? What layer should a block belong to? If I have drawings in some "steel" layer and make a block of only those "steel" elements, it's sometimes confusing if this block is not of the layer "steel" itself. So I try to set the same layer for blocks l...

Hi, I have many nested blocks. I can enter to edit those blocks by double clicking a block, then double clicking the next block inside. How could I exit and go back to the previous block? "em" just always goes back to the main drawing. I'm not sure if it's a good design to have nested blocks. But in...

I type "li", then <space> to enter the command line, then @100;100<enter> @200;200<enter>. The line is there, but I can't leave the command line by pressing <ESC> multiple times. I need to move the mouse cursor out of the drawing first. I would like to be able to work by keyboard only in some situa...
