10 |
Task Description
My task: To hatch an area.
Right now, if I want to fill an area with a hatch pattern, I have to select all the enclosing objects (lines, arcs) and then I can select the hatch tool. That can be under some circumstances a tedious task. To illustrate this, I created a simple example (see Attachment 1: Hatching.png).
Step 1: Create a rectangle. Step 2: Draw four vertical lines. Step 3: Select the four lines surrounding the first area. –> Problem! The horizontal lines are too long. Step 4: Divide the long horizontal lines of the rectangle where the vertical lines touch. Now the lines surrounding the three areas can be selected. Step 5: Hatch the selection. Done.
Just for fun try recreating my second example (see Attachment 2: Hatching2.png)
Therefore I would like to suggest a far more simple approach.
Step 1: Select the Hatch Tool. Step 2: Click inside the area you would like to be hatched. Done.
Of course that would mean that the hatch style is already pre-defined and can be changed later, if needed.
In this way productivity can be increased by ... [fill in you own estimate] ... times.
Example 2 would need only 13 clicks to hatch all the areas (including the hatch tool button).

Task Description
I am doing a bit of landscaping and using a (big) ortophoto as one of my layers in order to sanity-check on the ground measurements.
The layer contains a point and the image and nothing else.
The image is a 8MB file: “PNG image data, 4200 x 2980, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced” and it is scaled to 210 coordinate units (meter) horizontally in the drawing.
With approx 50% probability the image disappears during Save, as see for instance in this diff of the DXF file:

The point in the same layer does not similarly disappear, the bug only seems to affect images.
I have seen this bug from version 3.7.5.0 to git as of yesterday (63e06c778926a803bdfbffdf27b8c24d41511072).
I have not been able to correlate the bug with anything.
Looking closer at the DXF file (attached), there seems to be some residuce of attempts to insert images in protected/invisible layers, so this may be some kind of refcounting issue.
(Any chance of getting FreeBSD into the “Operating System” field ?)

Task Description
Andrew,
Usually I point to something to start with. Sometimes I want to point away from here but then the arrow is where I just clicked.
An option on creation would be nice. The capability to reverse the Leader orientation afterwards is another method to get it pointing the intended way.
A Leader entity is stored similar as a polyline. I think it would not be difficult to reverse the basic polyline and update the dimension shape accordingly.

1323 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Low | Improve command line support in QCAD | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Hi,
As a typical command line draftsman (still using acad10 for dos, since microsoft doesn’t supoort Win NT anymore), I noticed a severe lack on command line acces in QCAD.
For example I find the icon and pixel selecting methods within qcad very confusing and rude.
With the normal cad Select command I can select exactly what en how I want it.
I intend not to be rude, but I find my drawing screen littered all over with all kind of very specialist menu’s, tools and options. Sorry, I just want to make a drawing at the natural intuitive way, as with a pencil. So I use command line Commands, such as Move, Copy, Change, Select, a.s.o. For a ‘Command scripting’ user (-batching is a different tool!-), it seems to me logical these basic commands should be accessable.

Andrew,
Unrelated to OS or QCAD version.
In the postprocessor configuration dialog there is a group box called ‘GroupCustom’. One can add custom widgets to that, rename it and so on.
Such is not provided in CamProfileToolpathDialog.ui or CamDrillToolpathDialog.ui
It should be possible but we aren’t really able to mix up things with the ‘Message’ QLabel ... A reserved QGroupBox would do the trick.

Task Description
Andrew,
Not OS or Version depending.
We can’t filter on some specific properties of polylines.
Handy would be: - Global Width - Orientation
Specific: - Polyline Pattern But I don’t really search for them ... For some post-op I just need them all to be set to ‘No’. - # of vertices Filtering the complex from the more simple ones. - Including Bulges or not To seperate polylines with arc segments form others. There some operations that don’t really work with bulging. - Z values and/or global Z This would make sense for some but filtering on Z is not common under QCAD as it is 2D.

At present QCAD/CAM the tool drop-down box displays tool number and diameter between brackets.
It would be more appropriate to display if it is a mill or a drill and/or the description of such. In a further stage of development ball-nose ... Conical ... And so on.
I have several specialized mills with the same diameter. End-mills, roughing mills, routing mills, face mills ....
Tools 1(ø6mm) or 2(ø6mm) don’t say much if tool 1 is a side-mill and tool 2 is a high speed drill for metal.

Task: If I like to make a hatch and the contour isn’t closed I get a Grey circle Info where the contour isn’t closed. Nice!
But ..... I have this Info only for ONE not proper connection and only for the moment when the mouse pointer is over the Hatch Tool Symbol.
If I have to zoom into the Problem - I will lose the Info where the problem is
To get the “Problem Info” back I have to select it again - but for that I have to zoom out ...............
It would be nice to have this “Problem Info” longer in the drawing - maybe until I solved all problems.
And it would be nice to have ALL Infos for not connected lines at the same time. It is not really helpful to repeat this function 20times if I have 20 connection problems ... ;)

2) A “lock/unlock” button.
Clicking once will lock all layers, clicking again will unlock them all again.
Regarding the icons I suggest that instead of show both the black and grey version of the eye/lock, you could switch between them depending on the state the switch-button is in. Also the mouse-over-text could/should change with the state.

|
Task Description
It would appear that when QCAD imports a DXF, it reorders the layers into alphabetical order (at least when importing R2011). I have not tested this extensively but on other programs, the order is different from alphabetical. Ideally the operator should be given a choice to order the layers as exported (assuming the DXF format remembers that) or alphabetical. This is because a drawing may have a certain stack up of layers (like a printed circuit board) and then alphabetic ordering is not useful nor desired.

2018 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Layer visibility setting per view/view-port | Assigned | |
6 |
Task Description
In a medium complex drawing it’s often too much details to have all layers in a drawing visible at once. Also, it is of great importance to be able to have a single model to avoid duplication of work and risk inconsistency.
So i would like to create a number of views where each view has selected layers visible (that makes sense for the purpose of the view) and then assign the views to different layout blocks (using view-ports) in paper-space to be able to setup printing of several views on the same page/PDF
This also means that view-ports would have to be aware of what view they are displaying (if any besides the standard-view). This will then make it possible for printouts of different views with selected layers visible (different for each view and view-port) and still have only one model. Today this is not possible.
As it is today the only limited workaround is to set the layers you want to display, print/PDF of that viewport on separate page, and then change it for the next page, and so on. The big drawback is that you cannot have two different views/view-ports on the same page with different layers visible. Also, for large drawing it is painful to have to do a lot of manual setup for each rendering of the complete drawing.
