2448 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Scale lineweight display on model space | Assigned | |
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.

Task Description
Andrew, For more detailed description please refer to: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&p=40081#p40081
In the included screen grab below, left is when drawn cubic, closed periodic, from 4 points. Right is when the file is re-loaded.
It is hard to select the incorrect shape when pointing near it ... Probably it is referring to the correct internal shape. After drawing it explodes to a Null length polyline with 2 identical vertices.
I can’t include the error in a file as it reverts on re-load.
The same issue exist for quadratic, closed periodic, from 3 points.

When entering 1’ 1’‘ in an input field. - As the size of the rectangle in the topic - As the length property of a line selected in the drawing - ....
Returns 13 in a drawing in mm. And also in a drawing in inch what turns out to be correct. But also in a drawing in foot.
Similar, entering 1’ with a drawing in kilometers it returns 12 units = 12 kilometers.

Task Description
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.

2507 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Add Toolpath from Layer | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
I’ve been able to make this work as proof of concept very easily, but many of the functions are inaccessible/difficult to override from post-processors.
Desired functionality:
1) Enable “Add Profile Toolpath” UI elements all the time (remove setRequiresSelection) 2) CAM Profile Toolpath Dialog: Drop-down menu of available Layers. First option “By Selection Only” 3) “By Selection Only” continues to pass EntityIds of selected objects (existing functionality) 4) Choosing an active Layer will use the Layer as source of EntityIds 5) Any changes to Entities on a Layer will result in those new/removed/changed objects being re-generated without having to manually select and update the tool paths. Either do not recover list of EntityIds from the ToolpathBlock, and instead use “live” each time it’s regenerated, or additional functionality to determine if a LayerId is associated with the Toolpath, and then lookup EntityIds.
I assume the persistence of the Layer selection would be available within the Toolpath, so that it will automatically update EntityIds every time a Toolpath is regenerated, without having to select Entities and updating the toolpath manually.
For large projects, being able to force select objects based upon layer dramatically reduces mistakes and speeds up the workflow.
Thanks

2540 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Retain original handle when Hatch properties are change... | Assigned | |
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

It is nice that I can scale or rotate a block - but right now I see also a big plus in a kind of locking function for Blocks. It would be nice to have a “locked” option ad least for the scaling of blocks.

766 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Layer List: Add "Lock All Layers" | Assigned | |
2 |
Task Description
To improve useability/efficiency I would like to propose the following changes/additions to the layer list:
1) Combining the show and hide button into one button.
Clicking once will hide all layers, clicking again will show them all again.
2) A “lock/unlock” button.
Clicking once will lock all layers, clicking again will unlock them all again.
Regarding the icons I suggest that instead of show both the black and grey version of the eye/lock, you could switch between them depending on the state the switch-button is in. Also the mouse-over-text could/should change with the state.

2 |
Task Description
I guess this is a case of wording and wrong expectations.
The polyline tool “Delete Segments between two nodes” removes nodes, but not segments as the title and the icon suggests.
I propose to rename it to “Delete Nodes between two nodes”.
A tool which actually removes line segments from a polyline, leaving gaps, could indeed be useful to some users.
I think of a straight polyline with several segments. Then I remove some segments. I end up with a polyline with “holes” in it. Now I could stretch that polyline and all the remaining segments and holes stretch proportionally. Could be handy some times.

When working with the isometric grid (in any projection - Top, Right, Left) and drawing from ‘scratch’ as it were, without using the projection tools - I find myself using ‘Line from Angle’ the most.
It would be extreamly useful to be presented with two extra buttons when using this tool, a 30 degree button and a -30 degree button, this way I wouldn’t need to keep typing in the angle difference here.

An option to remove all segments within a chosen boundary would be good, in my example I want to remove all the hatching within the Red circle.
So after exploding the Hatch, currently I have to remove all segments singularly!
Of course I could have placed the circle first and hatched around it - but in this and most instances it is easier to design and to produce the Hatching first and then place my circle/shapes etc.

Task Description
Hi,
With the new block attribute feature available in QCAD 3.3, there’s little to be done in order to make QCAD a good environment for typesetting circuits and other diagrams. In particular, the only killer feature that lasts is support for connectors: orthogonal lines that connecting one endpoint to another creates a connection line; when the concerned entities are moved the connection line is re-arranged. I’d like to know whether commercial support for this feature is available.

When exporting to SVG it would be helpful if there was a selection of layers to export. E.g. when selecting only layer A in the SVG export dialog, only the objects located/displayed on layer A would be exported to SVG.
As an alternative or additional export feature, there could be an option to export each (non-empty) layer to a separate SVG in one step. The layer names could be used as (part of the) default file names during the export. E.g. Layer A of file XYZ would be exported to “XYZ_A.SVG” while layer B would be exported to “XYZ_B.SVG” etc.
