Hello,
i am using QCAD for my little hobby projects pretty long time, and i am still using version 2 (on Gentoo), because new version still annoys me with some small details. Yes i am fully aware, this cannot be sustainable forever. Therefore ocasionally i am trying migrate to new version, right now i am testing QCAD 3.16.5 GPL on virtual Debian 8 Jessie 32b and freshly compiled QCAD 3.16.7 on Gentoo 64b.
One of mentioned little details is highlighting of lines, curves or whole blocks when mouse cursor hovers over them.
In just little more complicated projects than totaly simple ones (on attached screenshot for example - just for illustration how extensive drawings i mean), it can be really pain in ass. Whole drawing tends to flash or flicker etc...
Is there possibility switch this feature off? Or will be?
In my case, almost all parts created in QCAD are designed to be made on my little hobby CNC router by me. Mostly 2D shapes, less often 2.5D (dxf2gcode and Linux CNC + Axis). I don't need much for this. But sometimes i need create simple drawing for someone else. Then i need determine all coordinates correctly and determine right precision of important dimensions.
There is second problem i have. I still cannot figure how determine different tolerances for different coordinates. All i know, is how determine global precision, but it is not enough.
Is it possible? Or i should write labels around dimensions like i am doing so far?
Generally, i think, QCAD 3 is on good way and i am very thankfull for it.

Re: highlighting when mouse cursor hover over something
Thanks for your feedback. I've moved this topic to the QCAD Community Edition forum.
There is no option to disable highlighting at this point. However, you can modify the function highlightEntity in scripts/DefaultAction.js if you wish and you are comfortable with editing code:

Code: Select all
DefaultAction.prototype.highlightEntity = function(entityId) {
if (isNull(this.di)) {
return;
}
//this.di.highlightEntity(entityId);
};

Thanks so much, it really helps a lot.
