264 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Medium | Support for "Layouts" (paper space, viewport) | Closed | |
24 |
Task Description
There is one important ACAD feature that I would really like to see supported in QCAD3 and that is “Layouts”
Looking at the block lists, it seems to me that it can’t be too much extra work to support it, since the model space and different paper spaces are already shown there - and one can edit it.
QCAD draws infinitely easier than ACAD and drawing layouts is a primary feature of ACAD. With this in QCAD I can hardly see why anyone that does 2D work would need ACAD at all.

763 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Hatching with just one click | Assigned | |

Task Description
My task: To hatch an area.
Right now, if I want to fill an area with a hatch pattern, I have to select all the enclosing objects (lines, arcs) and then I can select the hatch tool. That can be under some circumstances a tedious task. To illustrate this, I created a simple example (see Attachment 1: Hatching.png).
Step 1: Create a rectangle. Step 2: Draw four vertical lines. Step 3: Select the four lines surrounding the first area. –> Problem! The horizontal lines are too long. Step 4: Divide the long horizontal lines of the rectangle where the vertical lines touch. Now the lines surrounding the three areas can be selected. Step 5: Hatch the selection. Done.
Just for fun try recreating my second example (see Attachment 2: Hatching2.png)
Therefore I would like to suggest a far more simple approach.
Step 1: Select the Hatch Tool. Step 2: Click inside the area you would like to be hatched. Done.
Of course that would mean that the hatch style is already pre-defined and can be changed later, if needed.
In this way productivity can be increased by ... [fill in you own estimate] ... times.
Example 2 would need only 13 clicks to hatch all the areas (including the hatch tool button).

Task Description
This one is a really important one for me, as currently I am doing a lot of dimension and annotation drawings. I would like to request an option to be added to the dimension settings for both drawing and application settings to be able to choose whether the dimension text is to the right or left side or over the top or underneath the dimension line. This would help tremendously when a lot of dimensions are needed!

2018 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Layer visibility setting per view/view-port | Assigned | |
6 |
Task Description
In a medium complex drawing it’s often too much details to have all layers in a drawing visible at once. Also, it is of great importance to be able to have a single model to avoid duplication of work and risk inconsistency.
So i would like to create a number of views where each view has selected layers visible (that makes sense for the purpose of the view) and then assign the views to different layout blocks (using view-ports) in paper-space to be able to setup printing of several views on the same page/PDF
This also means that view-ports would have to be aware of what view they are displaying (if any besides the standard-view). This will then make it possible for printouts of different views with selected layers visible (different for each view and view-port) and still have only one model. Today this is not possible.
As it is today the only limited workaround is to set the layers you want to display, print/PDF of that viewport on separate page, and then change it for the next page, and so on. The big drawback is that you cannot have two different views/view-ports on the same page with different layers visible. Also, for large drawing it is painful to have to do a lot of manual setup for each rendering of the complete drawing.

Task Description
Hi,
from time to time I need to place a circle etc precisely between two entity’s - what is a lot of construction work to get it correct. With the new “Info tool “Distance Entity to Entity” we have already the base for a new snap tool which could help to get rid of the time consuming construction process in cases like this. I would appreciate to get a new snap tool which is able to figure out the shortest distance between to entity’s and then will snap to the middle of it.
Pic 1: Given situation Pic 2: Result after using this new snap tool
Would it make also cense to have a second new snap tool which works opposite for the furthermost distance between two entity’s?

1983 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Trim All or Bulk Break out | Assigned | |

Task Description
This is a trim method I am missing in Qcad.
20 years ago it existed in CadKey. You had a bunch of lines or segments. You defined a (new) line or segment as cutter. ‘Trim All’. You pointed at the side of the cutter entity to trim all intersecting at that side.
Pritty the same as in this topic: https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=5221
Only in rare cases I can use Husky’s workaround as pro. It all depends on what else is in the clipping rectangle that is needed to trim all intended. If of no use all single crossing entities have to be chosen one by one.

It would be a very interesting feature to add to future versions.
I also use AutoCAD Mechanical 2012 and the BOM is synced with every balloon on the drawing. Making it easy to edit.
The core BOM accepts formula fields and we can easily calculate the mass of a part, with some Ifs and math.
The BOM that is shown in the actual drawing is more simplistic, and has just Part number, Quantity, Mass and the Description. But it’s related to the “core BOM”.
It’s a very interesting thing! It would be great on QCad.

In Autocad when making a dimension when left clicking to place the dimension there is the possibility to drag the dimension to either side of the dimension. This is also possible with Qcad dimension, but it losses the snapping and does not extend the dimension line out to the dimension text.
This is very useful when the two lines the needs a dimension are close together, or overlapping with another.
