Hi,

Maybe you want to edit several text with unsupported markup like 'xqc;' or 'xql;'.
In fact '\pxqc;' or '\pxql;' and yes the 'x' may look like it is followed by a short underscore . (See RomanS.cfx Glyph 0x0078)

See menu Edit >> Find/Replace (RP)

Unfortunately this tool needs at least "a bit of extension lines" but you can shorten them up to get mostly rid of them ... Under QCAD that is ... If I feel ambitious, I'll propose an enhancement. Simply supporting DIMSE1 and DIMSE2 , two well established controls for dimensions: - DIMSE1 (R12) – S...

Hi, There is an Undo Last Fit/Control Point button on the Options Toolbar. But there is no method to add a shortcut to every Options Toolbar button. Backspace would be a nice candidate for Splines and Polylines but for the moment it is reserved for deleting entities. For the record: The single lette...

Kinda existing feature request:

But in a way it should be feasible for normal text and hatches too.
Already implemented for Linetypes.

Hi, Please ask separate questions in separate topics, see the forum rules above I've tried Duplicate Block but it doesn't seem to actually do anything, Duplicate Block (BY) doesn't work for layouts. You get an error in the Command History reading: Cannot copy model space block or layout blocks. But ...

How do I make dimension text annotative? Hi, I think you mean how to keep the dimension to look the same in: Viewport 1 at 1:100 Viewport 2 at 1:50 Viewport 3 at 1:20 annotatief-in-autocad-12.png Sorry, but I don't see a solution except with drawing dimensions directly in Paper_Space. Maybe you cou...

The only way I can think of doing it is by creating a block?

Yep, the only way of grouping things under QCAD.
Groups of entities are not supported.

Hi, Both should be valid: cbSide.currentIndex = 2; cbSide.setCurrentIndex(2); We can find a mix of the two methods throughout the QCAD scripts. The questions remains if: A) var cbSide = dialog.findChild("CamSide"); Returns a widget ... Maybe the UI file has changed since Jun 2021 ... If the variable...

Hi,

This will render it somewhat faster:
Application Preferences >> Graphics View >> Text Rendering >> Render Text as paths

Remind that QCAD is not a word processing program.

Just don't understand why. It seems to treat 10'61/2" as 10 feet and 61 inches divided by 2. A collision between interpreting feet/inch and doing calculations with arithmetic functions like +-*/ and so on. In your opinion would you just stay with using inches instead of feet and inches I am a metri...

I did see some discussion about changing the QCAM menu defaults in a topic entitled "How to change default values in the CAM Profile Toolpath dialog?" and dating 10/06/2021 Found it and it should be easy to alter your postprocessor script as explained ... :wink: Still an odd way to do these things ...

Eelie, I think we need a drawing file to verify what can be the matter. A 40sec delay is long and can occur depending the drawing file but only on the initial switch is rather odd. :? If I double click again during this delay the screen whites out and a "Not Responding" message appears at the head o...

Hi,

I get a distance of 10'-6 1/2" [126.5"] when I enter 10'6+1/2" or 10'6 1/2" or 10' 6 1/2" in the Option Toolbar.

But I get the same 12'-6 1/2" when I enter 10'61/2" ...

If we break it down: 10' + 61/2" = 10' + 30.5" = 10' + 2' + 6.5" = 12' + 6.5"

It is a shame that the default parameters cannot be modified or made template based or else simply kept persistent after having been set once in the session. You are right, it is common in QCAD that tool options are saved persistent after closing a dialog. But here it is always Save Z 2 units, 4 un...

fastcan dose ont slow down the cutting speed as it goes into a corner and has no way of doing this in the set up apart from manual add g code after posting., dose QCAD have this as a option in pre post? Sorry to say but path trajectory control should be handled in the CNC controller board and its s...
