Right click mouse for snap menu.

Post by Prostreet » Wed Nov 27, 2024 10:49 pm

I would love to have the right mouse button bring a snap list to choose from.
Bring up all possible snaps being able to choose you snap choice without having to move the mouse
off of the drawing screen to select the snap of your choice.
I really miss this function while drawing.
Unless I'm missing something in QCAD? :?: :idea:

How could a "Snap list" beat "Autosnap"?
Please elaborate.

BTW: Additional, every single Snap has a shortcut ...
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
QcadPro, QcadCam, Win11/64, 64GB RAM, 10-Core, SSD
If a thread is considered as "solved" pls. change the title of the 1. post to "[solved] Title..."

A right-click typically brings up a context menu with recent actions and some relevant actions.
All snap options would be a long additional list. :?
Somewhat similar as clicking on the Snap Menu.
Given the position in the drawing panel, most probably too long to display all without scrolling.

When a coordinate input is required the snap options are displayed in the CAD Tools Toolbar.
Typically at the left of your drawing panel and typically Snap Auto is active.
What is your problem with moving the cursor?

If you need to move the mouse excessively to reach the outer limits then it is probably an idea to re-configure the mouse behavior.

Even when there was such a long context list beside your cursor you would still have to scroll through the options.
Also remind that snapping options can be combined.
Then it is easier and faster to activate/clear the options via the side panel.
You also have a better overview of what is active.

The other option was given by Husky and that is using the shortcut key-sequence.
Drawing with two hands goes even faster if you know the shortcuts by heart. :wink:

Even while simply rearranging things the Auto Snap is typically active.
Then you can still activate another option with the shortcuts or from the Snap menu.
