Redraw command

Post by NPD » Mon Jun 22, 2020 1:51 pm

I'm new to QCAD. But I've used AutoCAD years ago, version 11,12. Is the a 'redraw' command in QCAD? Or is it not necessary anymore?

Thanks.

Nope - you don't need it anymore. :wink:

Andrew,
Entities order is recalculated on save/open.
'Send to back' will make this =(minimum-1) for all selected.
Reloaded you will get them renumberred from 0 - 1 - ...
The same goes for 'Send to front' ...

Can we get them renumberred without a redraw or a reload?
MO is manually.
MC is not the same solution as save /revert.

Regards,
CVH

You'd have to script that:

- query all entities
- order by draw order (RStorage::orderBackToFront)
- assign new draw order

The order number is actually translated during save into the order in which entities are saved which matches the display order in DXF/DWG.
