QCAD scripting

QCAD script
A script is required to implement this function. QCAD can accept the dxf file path transmitted by an external program, then open the dxf, select the text entity in the dxf, perform the explosion operation, and save the dxf file.
Also, is there any information about the script that I can refer to? thks

If you want to explode all text entities in the file (or there is only a single text entity), you can use the QCAD command line tool dwgexplode:

Thank you, I will try this method and will reply with the results later.

The above answer is that I made a mistake, and I have been able to successfully execute the explode function. But there is still a question. I need to execute the explode operation on all text entities, while other entities remain unchanged. How should I do this?

Hi,
As explained, dwgexplode explodes everything but ...
You should then include a list of all entity types not to explode.

Type names to omit can be sourced from this list:

Where can I see all entities in DXF? ths very much

Was looking for it, see edited post above.
Remark that not all are visible things. e.g: a layer, a block (but a block reference might), ...
And that not everything can be exploded. e.g.: a lineType, an arc, ...

dwgexplode is geared towards exploding everything.

You'd have to provide a list of all entity types that are acceptable (i.e. don't need to be exploded):

Code: Select all

dwgexplode.bat -t "Block Reference,Dimension,Aligned Dimension,Angular Dimension,Angular Dimension (2 Line),Angular Dimension (3 Point),Arc Dimension,Diametric Dimension,Ordinate Dimension,Rotated Dimension,Radial Dimension,Ellipse,Hatch,Leader,Tolerance,Polyline,Solid,Trace,Face,Spline" -o d:\explode.dxf D:\testfiles\New2.dxf

Note the quotes for the -t argument.

dwg2csv can list all entity type names:

Code: Select all

dwg2csv.bat -l

Thank you very much, this answer is very important to me, I will follow this method to experiment
