Re: I want to make some random lines or

I tried this. To draw a BoundingBox -> Misc/Draw/Draw Bounding Box. The Misc menu is not described in the Reference, however the Misc menu is mentioned https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=9015&p=36014&hilit=misc+menu#p36005 However, nothing seems to happen when trying this option. I gu...

Can QCAD get any better?

Another year has disappeared - and not a great year at that, but same can be said for 2020. Every time I see a new update/snapshot to QCAD I always wonder "Can QCAD get any better?" - then it does. I think I've been onboard for about 5 years (give or take). To date I have seen the application grow a...

Re: Multiple drawings in one file to multiple files

@yogeshch - I was thinking exactly what you just stated - you were presumed "guilty" of something without evidence. And, why can't a sub-$50 application be considered for such a task?

Re: [solved] Hatching not showing !!!

Nick. I also find it somewhat easier to "create polyline" when drawing rectangles. That way all you have to do is select 1 point and the whole is selected - makes hatching far easier.

Re: Option to set RELATIVE coordinates as the default

Hi mwschultz. How about a Preferences option such that non-"@" prefixed co-ordinates are treated as relative with the option "!" prefix as absolute? ie if this Preference option is set then any co-ordinate is treated as being relative, and any "!" prefixed co-ordinate being treated as absolute.?? It...

Re: Changing Layer Attributes

Hi RLARMER. Husky is right. 👍 Also There is another really neat way to move entities from one layer to another. 1) Select the entities (lines, circles etc) that you wish to move. 2) Then double click on the layer (in Layers Panel) to which you want them moved to. (and the move-to layer can even be h...

Re: Line length confusion

Okay. I think there is an "undocumented characteristic" here. Husky mentioned duplicate entries - Not sure where they mysteriously popped up. CVH. Under Application Preferences, the Property Editor, the "Always show all properties..." seems to have solved this issue (an application restart is requir...

Re: Line length confusion

Many thanks.
Please see attached video.
Perhaps my workflow is awkward, but the only typing were the numbers for offset and for the initial 250x8 rectangle (polyline). I am not convinced here.

Line length confusion [Solved - sorta]

Good day. I am having some difficulty in understanding lengths of entities/lines. I attach a video and a .dxf file. Top Original is based on first drawing a polyline rectangle (not shown) and then breaking up bits and then adding line segments. This is a wierd answer for line length. Middle is based...

Free42/DM42

Just as a matter of interest, there is a really nice free calculator designed by a Thomas Okken called FREE42. It is an excellent replica of the HP42S (no longer available). Free42 is available on PC/Android and other platforms. It's a free (as in free beer) utility with great abilities. There are e...
