[SOLVED] Line tool option box does not open

[Claus N]

When clicking on the two arrows it seems like the rest of the display toolbar shows up, and when deleting this nothing shows up - I must have fumbled on the first run after installation and will go for the reset. Might take a few days, will let you know. Where do you insert "Solved" by the way?

So when I can't see the options toolbar on the screen, can I otherwise investigate if it is hidden somewhere?

This question continued to intrigue me ... With scripting almost anything is possible.

Code: Select all

var optionsToolBar = EAction.getOptionsToolBar();
var position = optionsToolBar.pos;
EAction.handleUserInfo("Options ToolBar located at (%1, %2) in pixels".arg(position.x()).arg(position.y()));

Click 'SELECT ALL' of the above code panel, right click on the selection and opt for Copy.
Switch to QCAD when running or start QCAD.
Activate the Script Shell with the keyboard shortcut 'GE' or via menu Misc .. Development .. Script Shell
Agree with the warning dialog, if any, I promise that we are not going to alter anything .
Paste the copied code in the lower line of the Shell, where the > is pointing at.

The 3 lines of code will be executed and report the Option Toolbar location in the Command History.
Counting from left to right and from the bottom of the title bar, if any, downwards in Y.

Because QCAD runs maximized with a title bar in my case that should be a value between:
- 0 and less than 1920 in X
- 0 and less than 1080 in Y
Otherwise the Toolbar would be is off-screen.
Here it reads as "Options ToolBar located at (0, 87) in pixels"
87 pixels or about 23mm under the title bar and that fits perfectly.

Next question is if we can alter that to for example (500, 500) or to free floating within the visible screen size.

Sorry CVH, but upon receiving your last mail I was in the process of resetting the configuration. The line setting options work fine now, thank you.
However there are 3 removals, that would bring forward to the configuration I have used with pleasure the last years. I cant quite figure them out any more, so I hope the attached screen print will lead to explanations - best Claus

The widget at the bottom is called the Status Bar.
Visibility is configurable under menu View or using shortcut GS.

Sorry, I'm 77 and seem to forget what I did a couple of years ago. For changing the color of the relative zero point (little red line end circle) to transparent, the QCAD.org web site suggests: Edit-Application ´preferences-Graphics View-Colors-Origin-Relative zero

However at this point I can no longer find a "Color" or code setting for "Transparent" ?

Edit .. Application Preferences .. Graphics View .. Colors .. Origin .. Relative zero
Select for the color 'Others...' at the bottom of the drop down box.
Any color will do but set the Alpha channel to zero.

Bravo, thank you for patience!
I'll now work on naming the thread "[SOLVED].
