Re: very slow to work
same experience, I am just curious if it isn't a problem with the latest version.... Thank you for the file by PM. - Format: R24 (2010) DWG Drawing (OpenDesign) (*.dwg) - 148Kb - Saved as dxf (Autosave) 514Kb => Not considered as a large file. Loads as of immediately, even aside several other and h...

Re: Calculate curve to make two curved panel fit together
Thanks! Can you explain (1) how you calculate the fit points, so I can do it myself at home. Already explained earlier: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=10725#p44210 In a Spreadsheet: - Column A: Row 10-82 = values 0-72 (nn below is 10-82) - Column B: = Ann multiplied by 5 => Degre...

Re: very slow to work
@ Jkiss If you could share such a file we could have a look at it. 1400 Line segments should not be an issue but remind that QCAD is basically 2D. If considered proprietary then attach it to a Private Message. Easiest entry point is double clicking on my user name and take it from there. Regards, CVH

Re: Calculate curve to make two curved panel fit together
About 40 flutes per foot = 12 inches would ideally segment the outside with edges 0.3 long. The outer curve of R = 12.92522 + 0.15 is 20.46241354 long. But segmented it is about 20.46196722 long. We need to keep the width of the developed interior to make it fit laterally, but the length needs to be...

Re: Calculate curve to make two curved panel fit together
FB, Used the arc of d36_dome_arch_0,1.dxf R = 12.9252188715954 D = 25.8504377431908 Sweep = -89.66656284 (8 digits) => Length = -20.2276670292275 Then the 73 fitpoints are: 5.35380095325549,0 5.33342812427165,1.12793812925123 5.27246468685015,2.25587625850246 5.17137460956051,3.38381438775369 5.0309...

Re: Calculate curve to make two curved panel fit together
... I think you messed up the title in that last post ... An octagon that spans 35.7 has a face of 14.78742417671961107, not 14.79 An octagon that spans 10 has a face of 4.14213562373105137, not 4.14 The arc is presumed not to be 20.23 long. That looks again as rounded/truncated values. The splines ...

Re: Calculate curve to make two curved panel fit together
Time to t ry to draw a correct fixed width spline for the cover pieces. Remind that each arc size has its associated spline by Math. If you settle for a certain radius or radii I would gladly provide the fitpoints. The quick draft Excel sheet is still open, merely a question of entering a radius an...

FB, The arc in d36_dome_arch_0,1.dxf is CW and tangent to vertical at the right. Similar as what I proposed for the 32" version. - - - - - - The arc in d40_dome_arch_0,1.dxf is CCW and tangent to the top plane.

Re: [solved] - Toolpath Skips Block
I'd be grateful if you could share how you would handle a project like mine? I see your problem. Reading another topic on groups it seems that ACAD has something like that. It does not entirely mimic the Block functionality and I read about issues with that. In my wish list I added an entry for som...

Re: [solved] Not all entities shown while moving
The selction includes : 5 lines, 2 splines, 5 arcs and 2 circles. When I move the lot, only one of the splines is offered to preview. This falls under 'Complex Shapes'. QCAD figures out the complexity of the selection and when true the preview is limited. One would then ask why that one spline and ...

Re: [solved] - Toolpath Skips Block
@ newyd_cnc, I extract CAM related data to a working file to process with QCAD/CAM. From a master file I can then create as many CAM files as desired, with different things and/or as several revisions. Basically: Don't clutter your CAM source drawing with unnecessary items. And on the other hand: Al...

Re: Calculate curve to make two curved panel fit together
After reviewing your drawing, A) I drew the cord to connect the two points (...). B) Then I drew an orthogonal line, and trimmed it to the height of the top of the slot (where the arc connects). C) I drew another cord from the top of the slot to the center of the arc, and took that measurement, cop...
