QCAD Python Visual scripring with Sverchok and Blender

[ionut]

Hello!
I am working at a way to use Blender, sverchok, and python libraries - ezdxf - to create a low cost alternative to doing 3D modeling and 2D dxf drawings.

A demo video of a small experiment.

I am interested if there is a way to auto-reload a drawing in QCad using a watchdog or something, when the drawings are modified externaly.

Or implementing a key shortcut or button for file - revert

I am not a C++ knower.

Thank you verry much!

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in QCAD.

You can revert a drawing to the file on disk using:

File > Revert
Shortcut: Ctrl+R (Mac: ⌘R)

Reloading on file change could be implemented using a script with the help of the Qt class QFileSystemWatcher.

Thank you!

I must say, the best CAD version I've tested so far - free or low cost.

I will pair it to Blender and Open Cascade to include it in my workflow and promote it to the best of my ability!

The pro version is on my wishlist for early next year!

Thank you very much!
