Please make sure that you select only the four lines that define the door for hatching: The shape to hatch always has to form a closed path with each entity connecting to the next one at end points.

Could you please attach your drawing file?

One common mistake is that there are multiple lines on top of each other.

The layers that are created by the script reference an invalid linetype (linetypeId is -1). You can fix the problem by assigning a valid linetype ID to the layers. For example in FMBodiceFront.js: var linetypeId = gDocument.getLinetypeId("continuous"); var finalLayer = new RLayer(gDocument, 'Pattern...

That it does not change by modifying the entity ? That's correct. And it stays the same after saving and restoring, even when the releasees of QCAD progress? No, IDs are not persistent. If you need to refer to entities in a persistent way, you'd have to use the entity handle instead. That stays the...

Please post the drawing file, thanks.

Thanks. For performance reasons, arcs are rendered as a series of small line segments in QCAD. For arcs with a very large radius, these line segments can become quite large and cause these kinds of display errors. The reason why the segments are not simply scaled down to the length of a few pixels i...

a) complex linetypes will NOT show up on screen in normal or draft mode, or even when you have screen-based linetypes enabled (which shows some? of the dashes) Complex line types are NOT shown in draft mode (draft mode is optimized for maximum performance). Complex line types are NOT shown if scree...

Could you attach the DXF drawing file for testing please, thanks.

I'm unable to reproduce this here. A mix up of versions can be ruled out if you have installed using the setup installer. If you have installed using the ZIP file, two versions might have been mixed. Remove the whole QCAD directory in this case and install again. Perhaps, you could save and attach y...

Yes, you can create any supported entity type in scripts. Example ray that starts at 100,50 and extends towards the right (1,0). I.e. the second vector is a direction vector.

new RRayEntity(document, new RRayData(new RVector(100,50), new RVector(1,0));

Could it be that you are also in draft mode (View > Draft Mode)?

Thanks for the details.

It looks like you are using screen-based linetypes (View > Screen-based Linetypes). Complex linetypes can only be displayed when drawing-based linetypes are used (i.e. Screen-based Linetypes are off).

Spline lengths cannot be easily adjusted because enlarging the spline would be undefined (a spline that is 10 units long can be extended into a spline that is 20 units long in an infinite number of ways). To shorten a spline to a given length, you may proceed as follows: Modify > Divide Click spline...

You could use the new 'Paste along Entity' tool to create markers along the spline at regular intervals: 1. Draw the marker you want to use (a point, cross, circle, etc.). 2. Select the marker 3. Edit > Copy 4. Edit > Paste along Entity 5. Enter desired number or distance in tool bar (here we choose...

The function getIntersectionPoints actually returns an array of all solutions (hence the plural). var c1 = new RCircle(new RVector( 0,50), 100); var c2 = new RCircle(new RVector(25,50), 100); var solutions = c1.getIntersectionPoints(c2); for (var i=0; i<solutions.length; i++) { qDebug(solutions ); }...
