Re: Blocks, Library, Edit Block, Edit Block In Place

You can simply edit the library files one by one and add the required attributes. Procedure: - Find the item you want to edit in the part library - Right-click on the item and choose Edit... (alternatively, drag the item into QCAD but not into the drawing area to edit the item) - Menu: Block > Attri...

Re: Blocks, Library, Edit Block, Edit Block In Place

When I then tested the part in an actual drawing, the Attributes were not a part of the BLOCK. They were there, but as separate entities. Without following your whole sequence of events, this statement above seems to be the main point of your confusion. This is correct and expected behaviour. Attri...

Re: Dimension line scale options seem to be missing

I'm unaware of such a glitch. Perhaps the scale is still there but you might have arranged the toolbars in such a way that it is no longer visible? A screenshot might help to solve the problem.

Re: Dimension line anomaly

The drawing file (DXF/DWG) is actually the important and relevant file that we would need.

Without the drawing file, I'm guessing that your drawing is 3D (try Misc > Modify > Flatten drawing to 2D).

Re: Blocks, Library, Edit Block, Edit Block In Place

the BLOCK is created when the library file is inserted into the drawing. Yes, your observations are correct, inserting a file from the part library into your drawing, creates a block with the block name being based on the file name. Blocks are named, reusable groups. Now, quite often some aspect of...

Re: Grid and Meta Grid

Perhaps just an illusion? Grid dots are more visible when close together than when far apart.

Can you compare two grid dots from two screenshots (zoomed in and zoomed out).

Re: Picutre import hides drawing lines

QCAD 3.29.4 is now available which has a new preference for this (images are not raised by default).

I would still strongly recommend to put background images on a locked layer for tracing to prevent accidental selection or modification.

Re: Automatic Mirror Copy?

There is a way using blocks (for the advanced and adventurous users out there): - create a block for the part you want to work on - mirror the block as desired - you now have two block references: the original and the mirrored - right-click on the block reference you want to work on and choose "Edit...

Re: Clone different objects to new Layer

We don't need to go convert to a shape as indeed not all entities have a shape representation. You can simply query the entity, clone it and re-add it to a different layer. I'd also do it in one single operation: var appWin = EAction.getMainWindow(); appWin.handleUserMessage("Neubau mit Farbe hinter...
