More Radial/Diametric Dimension Types?

[zilmosantos]

Hello, friends!

On my mechanical drawings, I usually find the necessity of using those different types of dimensioning for diametric/radius dimensions.

I would like to know if anyone else uses these kind of dimensioning and finds that it would be a great feature for a "feature request".

For the great qcad developers team, Is this practical/doable?

Thanks!!

Hi,

Yes, I use them too. But ... a variant of the left example already exist in QCAD.

However - the radial dimension with a break in the extension line is something what I really miss in QCAD. I would support a feature request.

I know this is a work around, but for the extension line break you could explode the dimension and use my Polyline break symbol (Misc>Draw) on the extension line, not ideal I know.

Hi, Husky! Yes, this variant is interesting, but, at least in my opinion, having the option to make the dimension text and the extension line horizontal seems more elegant =) for mechanical drawings.

Great to know! Thanks!

I didn't know about this option! Thanks for sharing! =D
