Sorry CVH..... I did look, but it's only 5:30am.... still got cobwebs....

Question: Why are "next release" fixes/changes showing up under current release? I see April fixes 2406, 2560 and 2562 were closed in April, but 3.29.6 was released 2024/03/27. Just askin'.

Shame really. I was really beginning to like the guy.

Very neat that your 7th post is an answer to your own question

Purrfect.

Hello again. I have a parent layer, P-Layer I have child layers, C-Layer n under P-Layer P-Layer C-Layer1 C-Layer2 .... C-Layer n I Right click on P-Layer and select "Select Layer Entities". Nothing is selected - non of the entities in C-Layer1 -> C-Layer n , only entities directly on P-Layer, non i...

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...

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...

@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?

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.

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...
