2540QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowRetain original handle when Hatch properties are change...Assigned
0%
1 Task Description

Andrew,

When we alter about any property of a Hatch entity it seems to be recreated with a newer/higher handle.
This doesn’t influence the drawing order in direct.
But already changing the drawing order of a Hatch it is recreated as a new entity.

It starts to matters in drawing order when there are multiple entities with the same drawing order and that after save/reload. Entities with the same drawing order then receive a new drawing order based on the original but sequentially increasing based on handle.

Because a Hatch is recreated with a newer/higher handle each time a property changes it will thus always end up above the others with the same order even when the original was created earlier.

This is more pronounced when copying/pasting entities from a source to a target drawing.
The original Hatch drawing order is retained but it will always be above existent entities with the same drawing order in the target drawing after save/reload.

Most other entities are probably just updated in situ.
It is unsure to me at this point if merely updating a Hatch is even possible.
And perhaps this is related to the addObject ForceNew flag what is false by default.

Regards,
CVH

1 Task Description

Andrew,

It took me a while to find the source of a certain freak bug I encountered.
I used the RLine.isParallel(RLine) as a test for knowing if line segments were parallel or not.

Included below is script code that mimics the functionally of isParallel().

As far as I know isParallel() is nowhere used in the QCAD open source.
Textual only found in RLine.cpp & .h or under: opennurbs, ecmaapi\generated and ecmagenerator\src.

// Example:
// RShape1: RLine(RShape(address: "0xcd70e28"), startPoint: "RVector(969.219858, -171.914894, 0.000000, 1)", endPoint: "RVector(1010.000000, -140.000000, 0.000000, 1)")
// RShape2: RLine(RShape(address: "0x7659770"), startPoint: "RVector(969.219858, -171.914894, 0.000000, 1)", endPoint: "RVector(930.000000, -340.000000, 0.000000, 1)")

2301QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowRotate preview on/offAssigned
0%
1 Task Description

Hi,

I believe prior QCAD version 3.22.0.0 there was no rotating preview. The rotating preview shows the outcome regarding to the chosen center point. I know that it is also common for move/copy. However, for me it is very confusing and difficult to chose the correct center point for a rotation if I’m constantly been distracted by the most of the time overlapping preview of my selection. This said if the drawing is very detailed I have to zoom in extremely to be able to snap to the right entity. That wouldn’t be necessary without the preview. Additional rotate a large drawing selections will compromise the performance - CPU is going like crazy.

It would be nice to have an option to turn this preview on/off.

Andrew,

Referring to this forum post:
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=10152

With radii 1341.35667735 and 26 the relative tolerance is 0.00683678 and exceeds the former used fixed tolerance of 1e-4.

These arcs will then be considered to be tangent and the intersection point is 0.31024 units to the left of where we expect it.

Implemented: https://github.com/qcad/qcad/commit/77ae3e4518cc34f178779d2d2c724adcf80c229d#diff-dcc4e31eaeaed5a047f65dbce4ddda4bcd4d604e9e1005ee8481ded273768449

Updated: https://github.com/qcad/qcad/commit/071b60acd1176e6301bf6b6fcf716684221a97e8#diff-dcc4e31eaeaed5a047f65dbce4ddda4bcd4d604e9e1005ee8481ded273768449

I had already expressed my reserves on the relative tolerance but that was already a better solution for small arcs:
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=8775&p=34907#p34907

We could limit the tolerance by:
A- The smallest of the fixed and the relative.
B- A relative tolerance based on R2 there circle 1 is forced to be the larger one.

This will never account for the position in the plane.
At a certain point the tolerance will be less than the accuracy/certainty of the values.

1903QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowSaving layer settings, e.g. visibility status, associat...Assigned
0%
1 Task Description

In a medium complex drawing it may be too much details to have all layers in a drawing visible at once.

Instead a number of views would be created that saves not only zoom level and position but also what layers are visible and not (as appropriate for the purpose of that particular view). This is very cumbersome (to the extent it is not really realistic) to achieve today and requires a lot of duplication of both model and layers.

The advantage of adding this is the ability to have only one model (with multiple views) and avoid duplication of work and the risk of inconsistency inherent with many copies of the model.

As a further (and natural extension to this) would be the ability to used this functionality with view-ports to be able to create (possibly many) paper-spaces from a single model. This would however require view-ports to be aware of what view they are a window into. A single change in the model would then propagate to all defined view-ports and paper-spaces.

2448QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowScale lineweight display on model spaceAssigned
0%
1 Task Description

Currently, the model space can display lineweights at scale 1:1
It’s very convenient when drawing small objects that will be printed at scale 1:1 : it makes it easy to anticipate the final aspect of the printed drawing.
But this feature is unusable for architects or users who draw large objects.

Therefore, it would be very useful to have a factor to multiply lineweight display in model space.
For example : if i know my drawing will probably be printed at scale 1:50, i set the value of the lineweight factor to 50.
Then every line would be displayed 50x thicker in model space.

2338QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowShow non-QCAD custom XDATA optionallyAssigned
0%
1 Task Description

QCAD (before version 3.27?) used to show some custom XDATA, e.g. tag 1000, even for application names that are not “QCAD”, which for me was useful, so it’s somewhat of a regression. (I think it was broken when selecting multiple items, maybe that’s why it was removed.)

I suggest to bring that feature back, but maybe show it only when a single element is selected if that’s easier.

(As a workaround/hack I guess it would be possible to rewrite the required information as QCAD compatible XDATA externally I guess.)

Above splines are polylines created with autolisp routine which converts spline to polyline, so you can see how splines should actually be drawn.

First spline is created with fit points: 2,2 4,4 6,2
Then copied and applied weight of 2 on central control point.
Then copied again and applied weight of 0.5 on central control point.

Second spline is created with fit points: 6,2 8,4 10,2 with vertical start and end tangent.
Then copied and applied fit tolerance of 1 for fit points.

Third spline is created with fit points: 10,2 12,4 14,2 with horizontal start and end tangent.

Fourth and fifth spline are correctly drawn by QCAD.

Eine oft Hilfreiche Zeit/Klick sparende Erweiterung wäre eine “Total” Option bei dem “Lengthen” Tool.

Aktuell ist es mit dieser Funktion möglich ein Element zu verlängern oder zu verkürzen um den Amount X. Der Referenzpunkt (von welchem Ende) kann bestimmt werden.

Die Erweiterung die ich mir wünschen würde wäre auch ein “Total” um ein Element auf eine bestimmte Länge zu bringen ohne einen Taschenrechner benutzen zu müssen. Referenz (welches Ende oder Mitte) sollte (muss) dafür wählbar sein.

Die Funktion “Property editor” stellt bereits über die Geometry Eigenschaften die Möglichkeit zur Verfügung einen “Total” Wert zu manipulieren. Leider bin ich aber hierbei nicht in der Lage zu bestimmen welcher Element Referenzpunkt dafür benutzt werden soll. Könnte ich die Referenz wählen (welches Ende oder Mitte) wäre auch dies dann durchaus akzeptabel ;-)

Would it be possible to add a feature which turns selected text into solid fill hatched polylines?

That would make it possible to migrate the drawing from one computer system to another without having to worry whether the used font is installed on both systems, like when sending a drawing to a manufacturer for laser engraving.

Right now I can do it by hand, letter by letter, and that is a rather labour-intensive task.

1 Task Description

My system: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz and 8 GB of RAM and NVIDIA GT218 (GeForce 210)

For a normal drawing displaying it in all detail is a good thing and the performance of my quad-core system is more than adequate.

But I discovered (or rather experienced) that when putting a large collection of individual drawings of gears onto one big sheet (960 mm x 600 mm - preparation for laser cutting), the performance was so bad that I had to wait several seconds (>10 sec) for each step in the process of arranging all the parts on the layer.

Request: It would be a big help and performance booster if you could disable the detailed view of each part/layer and only draw a rectangle to visualize the outline of the part.

Please take this in consideration. Attached you find an example of how that could look like. (Actually when pasting a drawing from the clipboard you already do that.)

1 Task Description

Hi,
this is a usability feature request:

If you want to move an object relatively to any point (e.g. by entering @x;y in commandline) it does’nt make sense to enter a starting reference point. Of course this is possible by clicking to any location on the screen. But it’s difficult to change between mouse and keyboard so often.

It should be possible to enter a “don’t care” or “any” reference point by pressing a keyboard shortcut (e.g. enter like in AutoCAD).

Andrew,

When switched to French I detected a typo in the drop down box for Lineweight.

Weight 2.11mm is listed as 1.58mm {2.11m?}
https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/ts/qcadcore_fr.ts#L1228-L1229
Also see attached image file.


May I ask why only ISO types have a comma instead of a point in French.
The use of a comma is uncommon in the Property Editor even when that is the native decimal separator.
I also detect an extra space between the value and ‘mm’ and that only for the ISO types.

This only occurs in:

I have set the grid/snap value to X=.0625 Y=.0625 on all 4 viewports.
When zooming in and out the grid/snap scale changes from .0625 to 3.90625. at this point the grid/snap points differ,
This causes a variation in the grid/snap reference points lending to drawing errors.

example
When I use the grid settings defaults .01, when zooming in and out, the grid/snap scaling doesn’t seem to have this issue.
Other values do, See below.

Why is there a squaring of the original set value? Which then becomes a new zoomed grid/snap value?

1870QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow Stretch tool / option to turn selection restriction on...Assigned
0%
Task Description

Hi,

since 3.19.2 the Stretch tool looks for any selection and follows the specification “Only stretch selected entities if there is a selection”.

That is a nice feature but it leads many times to confusing because I have to deselect a selection just because I need to use the stretch tool on something else on the fly. The same if I “forgot” a selection outside of my zoom which is still important for me. The stretch tool just won’t work without any message why not. My routine now is that I terminate every selection just before I use the stretch tool just not to be surprised by “why isn’t it working”?

It would be nice to have in the Stretch option bar a checkbox to turn the “only selection feature” on or off. QCAD should remember that setting.

0%
Task Description

Hello, I recently bought QCAD Pro and this is my first Bugtracker report!

First, I want to say a big thank you for creating and maintaining such a wonderful software package!

I’ve never encountered a system for expressing constraints in 2D (or even 3D) that feels as natural, intuitive, and expressive as QCAD feels!

I am very grateful to have randomly found it somehow. I wish all user interfaces were designed this way and especially that vector art programs adopted similar constraint-based tools.

Anyway though, here’s the actual feature suggestion:

I noticed that QCAD is missing one especially convenient and naturally occuring angular unit: cycles (a.k.a. turns or revolutions).

I personally find cycles to be my favorite unit overall and to be the most intuitive to work with (when not needing to use physical protractors). I actually mostly work digitally and most of my uses for QCAD will be digital. QCAD is the only software I’ve found that really expresses 2D constraints the way I want to be able to work and lay things out.

Rather than redundantly belabor the many reasons why I think cycles should added to the available displayed angle units in the Preferences → Dimension Settings → Angular Dimensions dropdown list, I will simply link to the rather large discussion I’ve already had with Husky and CVH arguing my case about why I want it added and why many other users could benefit from it.

Here’s the link to the relevant forum discussion.

1254QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowAdd drop object along a path with automatic trimAssigned
0%
Task Description

Add drop object along a path with automatic trim.

  1. The object can be a selection before or after selecting the tool, an entity or a block.
  1. The path can be another entity from a start point to an end point.
  1. Dropping can be made on one side or the other (like in other tools depending on the side of the cursor), with a choice of miroring the object or not.
  1. The number of drops or the distance between can be selected.
  1. The distance can be between a control point of the object or its sysmetry axis or border.
  1. The dropping direction can be selected too.
  1. The droping depth can be constrained : all control points have passed the path, or one of them. Alternatively, replace control points by an entity belonging to the object.

Exemple of use case : equidistant drills in a curved rail. The dropping depth constraint enables for example to ensure a drill has a minimal depth when not orthogonal to a plan.

Task Description

It would be nice if QCAD spit some kind of warning message when trying to render a layer with a name that doesn’t exist (and perhaps render nothing), rather than silently rendering an empty image. :D

2529QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowAdd normalized unit circle coordinates (complex numbers...Assigned

Task Description

Similarly as for my previous suggestion submission, I also had a related idea for making it easier to work with complex numbers when using QCAD by adding normalized unit circle coordinates as another option in the Angular Dimensions display units options dropdown.

Here’s the corresponding forum thread I started.

1647QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowAdd point / dot option for leaders Assigned
0%
Task Description

Hi Andrew,

Hopefully you might be able to squeeze this one around your busy schedule.

Would it be possible to add in the property editor an option to change a dimension arrow to a point / filled dot and maybe also a tick?

I see you are working on some viewport stuff, I am very much looking forward to testing some of this out ;).

Many thanks

Clive

Task Description

Would it be possible to have the choice of either dashed or solid lines for the large cross hairs?
