QCAD.org Forum

Hi, and welcome to the QCAD forum.

What you explain here is rather a screen issue than an application issue.

A few things that can be helpful for the developer:
What is your operation system?
Do you uses a high resolution display?
Is it an external monitor?

At 24px I was still missing the last icon "Lock Snap".

Wondering what the toolbar icon size is in your case and how many horizontal toolbars there are ...
16px would be the default size of the menu icons.
Could you share a full screen capture?

SelectAll.js , Explode.js and Save.js are the QCAD GUI tool scripts. You don't actually initiate an action this way, I was referring to successive Command Line tools. The oddity is that the usage includes " Default is to explode everything into points, lines, arcs and circles " . The code further m...

Hi, I think that each qcad.exe -no-gui -auto... is a new instance of QCAD. Successive instances of QCAD don't share their memory with newer instances. You could do it probably in a one-liner. Or you need to create a custom QCAD script that does the required actions and call that. Remind that Splines...

steve2, It it right that you don't uses rules and scrollbars?! :? In the screen capture we can see that the the Grid is turned off. Still RE should display the snap cursor & crosshairs for both of your points. Or are crosshairs also turned off? One can lock the Snap ( SQ ) ... For Restrict Horizonta...

May I add that a closed spline with a minimal point count doesn't display correctly immediately after creation. Although on manual creation the preview looks OK. var sp = new RSpline(); sp.setPeriodic(true); sp.setDegree(2); sp.appendControlPoint(new RVector(138, 81.44444)); sp.appendControlPoint(ne...

Hi, and welcome to the QCAD forum. Seemingly there is no vertical scrollbar for the CAD Tools toolbar (widget). One might consider that as a shortcoming. On the other hand your icons all look rather large. What are the preferences for Applications Preferences .. General .. User Interface? For the si...

For commercial use of QCAD, do we need to purchase the professional version (paid) or can we use the free version (non-paid) for these purposes? IMHO, professionals use professional software and there are certain costs associated with it, those are usually deductible. :Wink: Licence information: ht...

Hi, It is common in CAD to NOT draw at scale, choose a drawing unit and draw everything in scale 1:1 in that unit. This avoids scaling every value forth and back between real world and the digital version in Model_Space. How this is presented on paper in a later stage depends on the paper scale for ...

Emiel, The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is an unbreakable rule, it will always be 180° degrees or Pi rads. That can be exploited to find the third angle when 2 are already known for example. An isosceles triangle with a height of 1142.5 and a base of 1280 long has a top angle of 58.51292...

Why is it you were able see this difference and I am not able to see the difference? Discovered it while debugging the script as it failed to convert the left example to a circle. Additionally in testing for it, I stored the actual value in a variable. var bulge0 = entity.getBulgeAt(0); var bulge1 ...

for some reason any infinite lines inside block reference are not selectable .... I can not replicate that fully in version 3.27.6 nor in 3.29.4.0. Far from the Block reference I can't select the infinite line, as if outside the bounding box of the common items. But the infinite is selected togethe...

Hi, Stacked Block References should be OK. The Attributes like Color, Lineweight, Linetype, visibility are inherited from parents depending several settings and some Preferences. Your attributes can be By Layer, By Block or custom specified. Application Layer compatibility has an influence on Block ...

How were you able to tell the difference between the bulge factors? Both show up as exact 1 in the Property window. Values in the Property Editor are always rounded values, displayed with 0 to 8 digits depending preferences. One can change the the bulge factor of each segment in direct, even in ful...

The reason why I ask is that they do not import the same (I'm importing into a completely different CAD program). Curious on how they are handled differently ... It should not be different at all ... :wink: Could you share a screen caption of the file with polylines in that application? Regards, CVH
