2140 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Low | Changing navigation mode for mouse wheel doesn't change... | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
Looks like error, but may be that’s feature request.
CAD software uses typical navigation behavior as: Wheel = Zoom; Ctrl+Wheel = Scroll up/down; Shift+Wheel = Scroll left/right.
Any other software like browsers, office software (openoffice writer, ms excel and so on), 2d paint software like GIMP (Photoshop and so on) uses other behavior: Wheel = Scroll up/down; Ctrl+Wheel = Zoom; Shift+Wheel = Scroll left/right.
Users, that intensively use CAD and other software simultaneously prefer to make same behavior in their applications switching CAD scroll to plain mouse wheel.
QCAD’s “Application Preferences”: “Graphics View: Navigation”: “Mouse wheel/ two finger swipe”: “Scroll” allow user to assign scroll up/down to wheel mouse instead of Zoom. But there is mistake Ctrl+Wheel didn’t change to Zoom. Ctrl+Wheel continues to scroll up/down, as the wheel. Wheel = Scroll up/down; Ctrl+Wheel = Scroll up/down; Shift+Wheel = Scroll left/right. No zoom!
Draw manipulation at this mode like a hell: you need to use wheel in conjunction with Ctrl/Shift to point draw in desired position, than move your hand to +(-) for make desired zoom.

Task Description
When dimensioning my drawings I always want the dimensions to be on the dimensions layer. When adding text I want the text to be on the text layer. When drawing an infinite line it is always a construction line, therefore I want it to be on the construction line layer. When drawing a line segment it almost always is on my outline layer.
So I propose a new option to bind certain actions to certain layers. Whenever those actions are selected the layer should automatically be switched.
I can imagine this being implemented in the General→Tool Settings menu, where the short cuts are defined.

Task Description
Andrew,
One Microinch is equivalent to 25.4 nanometers and I don’t consider that to be metric.
RUnit.isMetric(this.getDocument().getUnit()) returns true for RS.Microinch or value 8.
https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/src/core/RUnit.cpp#L145-L155 Returns false for: RS::Inch ; RS::Foot ; RS::Mile ; RS::Mil ; RS::Yard ... and true for all the rest.
Also see last note in: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=9506&p=38295
Not to be confused with RDocument::isMetric() because that returns the measurement system unless that is RS::UnknownMeasurement what is rather impossible with drawings created by QCAD.

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.

Arctic_Eddie reports failing CAM offset at exactly these points !!! Reported is a faulty arc with radius of over 360,000mm. - I can not reproduce this under QCAD working further on the Polys with NaNs. - However the direct offset of such controlpoint Splines is erroneous. (see file in post 30902)
Arctic_Eddie reports arc radii of over 10,000mm. - These don’t seem to be faulty. - I agree that BiArc fitting should be bound to a lower and certainly to an upper limit. - That should be huge otherwise faint curvature is represented by many wobbles or too quick by straight lines. (All this, keeping in mind that QCAD doesn’t return the optimum fitted BiArc, see: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=4859)

Win7pro 32bit Qcad 3.23.0
Andrew, The Arc segments of Polylines with Global or any Local Width render faulty where Global Z or any of the arc’s local Z is not zero.
In the attached drawing setting the Global Z of the inner poly to 5,10,...
The setting of Z to not zero affects the radius of the projected arc and not the bulging of the poly. It also affects the projected widths of the line inversely, but not by changing the widths properties.
Pritty rare combination! True. Qcad is 2D native! True.
Flatten will resolve this.
It is not a purely visual rendering fault, the poly will explode as such.
Maybe similar flaw as with uneven scaling blocks with arcs. https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5566#p20703

Andrew,
Most probably not related to OS or QCAD version.
When hatching an area with Hatch from Segments (HS) there might be false positive warnings on open loops. It seems that this is related to the orientation of the indicated segments and the order of selection. The real problematic position is not always the first that is reported. Loop count is increased even if it is a single loop.
Included a basic test drawing to replicate these. Further details to replicate the issue are in the file.

We can’t filter on some specific properties of polylines.
Handy would be: - Global Width - Orientation

For some post-op I just need them all to be set to ‘No’. - # of vertices Filtering the complex from the more simple ones. - Including Bulges or not To seperate polylines with arc segments form others. There some operations that don’t really work with bulging. - Z values and/or global Z This would make sense for some but filtering on Z is not common under QCAD as it is 2D.
