Nice work Pete.
And that for someone who just recently said that he had no knowledge of it: wink:

Thanks CVH, but to be fair all the work was done in the ExLineDove.js script, I just changed a few things here and there

Pete

The "automatic/script" solution, would ask the first point, the second point, and then scale the sign as needed automatically. If implemented "natively", this second solution should be more useful... Have a look here -> https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=8204 Hopefully that should me...

!! UPDATE, PLEASE CLICK THE LINK !! https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=30&p=32527#p32527 This is a modified script of the ExLineDove.js script created by Matthias Melcher. LineBreakSymbol creates a line break from 2 picked points, it can be scaled and rotated depending on where the second...

Thanks for the reply Andrew. What mods should I make to the comment header, should I leave the originators name, add mine as a modifier ?? I've added a "Break Symbol" menu item to Misc/Draw, including an icon, is that ok ?

I thought that coming up with a script solution for this -> https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=8175&p=32093&hilit=break+line#p32090 would be relatively easy, wrong!! So I looked for an existing script that might give me a start. I came across the Dovetail joint from 2 points script an...

Lisp is for most at best a challenge at worst an alphabet soup riddle with added brackets :wink: :lol: I like the analogy :lol: To be honest it must be over 25 years since I was AutoLisping in anger, so I'd probably think that was witchcraft now :lol: I'll take another look at it tomorrow, and then...

Thanks for the reply Andrew and CVH. I was right about witchcraft then
I think I'll have second thoughts about delving into scripting, AutoLisp was never this difficult

I thought I'd delve into the witchcraft of scripting, but I've fallen at the first hurdle!. I thought I'd start with the Adding Interaction example here -> https://qcad.org/en/tutorial-interactive-script-actions , copied and pasted and saved as test.js. Ran it through Run Script command, aaaaand, no...

did you forget to attach your files ??

@Husky looking at the linetype file qcadiso.lin you're using a DASHDOT linetype in your example Husky - *DASHDOT,Dash dot __ . __ . __ . __ . __ . __ . __ . __
The centre linetype is - *CENTER,Center ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____

I'm pretty sure there is no tool to do that, but it's probably something that a script could manage

...or maybe use a block ??

All themes updated again!! (apart from the Dark theme) The majority updated to include.... Tool Matrix widget header background colour changed. Full set of Checkbox and Radio button icons added. Tab bar and Tabs improvements. General graphical and colour improvements. Added a ToolButton checked sta...

However, this becomes a little "messy" and potentially somewhat confusing if the dimension line doesn't extend when the dimension text is moved. See -- Yes, it does indeed, you could add your own line, but again, gets even messier. You could ask for this feature to be included here -> https://www.q...

it kinda does, if you use stretch to move the end of a dimensioned line, making sure to included the end of the dimension, the dimension is stretched with the line giving a true dimension, probably won't work with a circle though.

you can select a dimension then select the reference point for the dimension text and drag the text to where you want it
