Re: Qcad Theme Apps

Due to the outstanding effort by forum member John Hyslop, I am now able to provide Linux DEB package installers and 64bit AppImages for Qcad Theme Designer and Qcad Theme Lite. The advantage of using DEB packages is that they will install in most Linux flavours. AppImages are executable files and w...

Absolutely. Notice that my tool matrix is set to list view. The category names such as Point did change to bold, but the item names such as Single Point PO didn't change to bold
I'm sorry, I misread your post, I was unable to find a way to change the items in the Tool Matrix.

Re: Menu Font Size

Hi, I tried theme designer today, enabled font override and checked BOLD everywhere in all tabs, but the tool matrix item names still remain the same, e.g. they are not bold. Are these item's font properties unchangable? https://postimg.cc/wy8mmQTS Are you sure that you have the Bold check box tick...

You'll need to post the drawing, if that's possible.

Re: Architectural Tick in Dimensions

The Tick size (255) is not used, it is the Arrow size (2.5) times sqrt(2) or 2.5 * 1.4142135.. = 3.535534.. The size value is orthogonal to the dimension line. I use a secondary color 'yellow' for my selections. :wink: Regards, CVH I referred to the Drawing Preferences settings where the only optio...

Re: Architectural Tick in Dimensions

If it is the width of the tick size then the user should set a larger global arrow size or a style override of the arrow size. Strange enough setting the style override tick size doesn't alter the dimension in question. The style setting for arrow size (Drawing Preferences>Dimension>Dimension Setti...

Re: Architectural Tick in Dimensions

It would be a nice feature if one could adjust the thickness of the architectural tick. The thickness of an architectural tick is controlled by the layer Lineweight Attribute. Increase the lineweight value and it will increase the thickness of the architectural tick. :wink: Hi Husky, won't changing...

Re: Menu Font Size

You can change the menu font size at Edit>Application Preferences>Widgets>Menu Bar . You'll get a message saying you have to restart, but I've found that's not necessary. Can you not do this for the tool matrix? Also, can you change the font type for the menu bar / tool matrix? Thanks No, not using...

Re: Drawing multi radius curves

I would think using Ellipse with radii or Ellipse with diameters would work for you Sorry Pete but the request was "3 curves of 2 radii". An ellipse curve continuously changes in curvature.
