Hi there, on previous releases, the status bar did not change it's height. Today I updated from 3.7.5 to 3.9.1 and immediately recognized a "hopping" working area which is a result of the status bar that now changes it's height after selecting an entity because the text "No entities selected" change...

Attached is version 96 which fixes Q-D for QCad later than 3.7.5.

Attached is the current version 95 which fixes a missing translation in Variegate. Unfortunetely it does not yet fix the new-QCad-problem.

Hi out there QCTrack users, today I updated from QCad 3.7.5 to QCad 3.9.1, now QCTrack Q-D (duplicate move) does not work any more. The debugger is kind of strange ("anonymous script" calls "documentInterface.setCurrentAction(new DupMove(guiAction));"), so I'll have to search why this script isn't w...

Attached is the current version 94 which selects the best result in VariegateResult after re-filtering and fixes a bug in the user interface of ReorderObjects.

@Clive/Husky: could you please update the "ready-to-go" thread? Thank you.

The last time I played a bit with QCTrack (and of course found several todo's). Attached is another example. Thank you, QCad!

The complete track plan: Only visible track parts and landscape hints:

Hi all, the thread at http://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=3348 now contains revised tutorials and some more examples and how-to-gifs. So I treat it "ready to go". :wink: Thank you Clive for the support, thank you Husky for the numerous suggestions! :) And of course: thank you Andrew fo...

Attached is a dxf example plan for Maerklin C system which looks like this:

Below you see an example of how to use the QCTrack fill with straight function. If you have track ends in a straight line, you can (try to) connect them: Select QCTrack / Fill with straight tracks or type QF. Select track ends to connect. Check / modify maximum use of track elements (first example: ...

Below you see an example of how to use the QCTrack align function. If you have one or more tracks that should be aligned to another track but moved only on an (may be arbitrary) axis, you can do this: Select tracks to align. Select QCTrack / Align or type QA. Select to-be-aligned track end. Select t...

Thanks to perstistent asking :wink: of Husky, there is a Track Widget :) that can be enabled / disabled via menu item QCTrack / View track widget or "QV". You then get something like the Block list but with some more information about the tracks you may add. TrackWidgetBaseNew.png To place an unconn...

Now let's play. :) To build a new track plan, insert the first block somewhere with the usual QCad functions (e.g. select one at the Block List and insert it or just copy it from your "library" area) or via "QN" (QCtrack / Insert new track from track widget) after selecting one in the track widget (...

As described in step 2 and 3, create all your track elements, insert each block once and save :D this file. For Maerklin C-System tracks, you get something like this: MaerklinCSystem.png Of course, for Maerklin C-System tracks you may just download my library MaerklinCGleis.dxf from the post above. ...

To create more complex elements than just straight or curved elements, you may edit the created blocks as needed. In this example, I will show the required steps to create a curved turn out like Maerklin 24671 which has 360mm radius and 30° curves which have an offset of 77.5mm. First, create the "b...
