Arun, First, I don't think you need constants, mostly variables are created with ' var '. How to create a JSON string from an object: var exportString = JSON.stringify(object); https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_json_intro.asp How to export textual information to a file is something else. For one, you ...

Looks like a line to me. Highlights like a line when I click on it. If not a line what is it and how do I fix it? Both the angle dimension tool and the angle info tool will work with Lines and Polylines. They don't work with straight splines nor arc/circles but these should not be highlighted eithe...

Could someone tell me how I measure a section of spline curve? This can be problematic when it needs to be exact. You need to trim or break a copy of the spline at those specific points. When it is a Fit Point Spline, it will turn into a Control Point Spline segment. This is to keep the start and/o...

Giuliano, Please unhide the Block List ... View .. Block List (GB) or just type the shortcut key sequence 'GB'. After you have created a block from the selection that block will be listed in the Block List. Now first edit the newly added block before you add an Attribute Definition. Select it in the...

Am I missing something? 170 views and no replies. Sorry that I can't help you any further: - I don't have a trackpad. - Finger sensitive devices don't work for me, e.g. Smartphones, parking meters and all other touchscreen devices. I think you would be better of with reporting this as a bug here: h...

FYI: Thank you Husky for looking up this information. :wink: I wasn't really off with my assumption. Odd that Andrew included this in the related topic: Render text as paths This might be slightly slower but seems to be also more precise under Windows. While rendering as paths is usually a fix for ...

When I ask for dimension and click on a point it does not enter a position but starts a new shape. I think this is all intended behavior. When you start drawing a new dimension entity and click the first point a preview appears of the dimension to create. Have a closer look at the mouse icon in the...

Giuliano, There is a difference between Attributes, Block Attributes and Attribute Definitions. Attributes in Model Space are not associated with a Block Reference like Block Attributes. I know of no way to create dissociated Attributes in QCAD but by scripting and a fixed bug while duplicating (DP)...

As @Husky pointed out there is an insert option that will overwrite blocks. I haven't found this setting just yet - but, I'll look around for that. See screenshot in Husky's reply: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=9615#p38817 The second last option in the Option Toolbar when pastin...

Hi,

Please provide a drawing example where this is the issue.
We will gladly have a look at it.

What is the difference between render text as text and as path? Well, not really sure. I suppose that rendered as path is a solid filled outline on QCAD level and as text it is practically the same but on font level. Probably rendered as text is handle by QT but that is a shot in the dark. :wink: T...

@ calhoun_craig: Please attach an example drawing where the hatch issue('s) occur. Describe what actions that you take to get the expected hatched area. Include what hatch pattern and what scale and if so then include the custom hatch pattern. We would be glad to have look at it. :wink: I can only q...

Hi, I initially could not replicate lagging with scrolling in your file. But it got worse when I render text as text. See Application Preferences .. Graphics View .. Text Rendering. Then it is even slower when the viewport gets highlighted, meaning with the cursor inside the viewport area. I get 1fp...

SteveS, You are very right that an open/closed padlock in combination with the color red would be a better choice. These are usually svg images so I don't think that that is a major hurdle. We can find the CE icons here: https://github.com/qcad/qcad/tree/1396dc95c5232f09dbb404ca5907bafea07bd2f8/scri...

Les, For that we need to inspect the concerning DXF file. There are things that may slow down QCAD and when use extensively QCAD may start lagging beyond the workable. For several things there is a work-around and others can be fixed. In the end there is a limit in what QCAD can handle. Regards, CVH
