[solved - Feature Request] Open Drawings on Layout Block by Default

Post by zilmosantos » Wed Aug 10, 2022 1:21 pm

Sirs, please, is there a way to do this? As the layout block contains the drawing sheet, the number, the viewports, it's the presentable part of the drawing.

No, at least not to my knowledge. Question: If a drawing contains e.g. 10 layout blocks how would QCAD possible know which one needs to be opened?
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.

Maybe QCAD could be able to save on the dxf the "last state" of the drawing. If I saved on the Model and closed, it would open on Model... and if my last save was on the Layout"n", it would open on Layout "n".

That is how it works right now plus a feature since Version 3.25.0 to open files that were open when quitting the last session.
