Thanks. Exactly the pointers to what I needed. Something for the FAQ?

Simple task, I thought. A script that draws a spiral with some individual parameters (as an exercise). What would the nomenclature be like, how do I combine the for loop and the resulting single points with the other parameters (start, closed etc.)? The for.. - loop within the polyline parameter set...

Andrew, Thanks for the quick reply. Changing the properties seems to be possible only prior to move it to the background level, It seems to be tied to the content of its native layer. Deleting or moving that pulls the background bitmap with it, it seems and feels... I think, in future I will use the...

Hi folks, after managing to move a reference bitmap to the background, I now want to make it invisible since it clutters the view now. How? Just having the idea to dedicate an own layer to the background bitmap and toggle its visibility. Is there a different way to do that? TIA, Cheers, Chattermark ...

Hab ich schon vor längerer Zeit mit Freude wahrgenommen. Danke!

Ambiguity solved here. As Clive pointed to, there is this important right-click after placing the relative-angle-segment. If I do so, I can append a new segment at the end of the latest addition with a correct relative angle to the one of that last segment. Missing to do so keeps the direction of th...

Ooops, forgot to attach the simple example. I would not call it buggy, but yet to be re(de)fined.

There is a special tool for that: Draw > Line > Relative Angle : http://qcad.org/doc/qcad/latest/reference/en/index.php?page=scripts/Draw/Line/LineRelativeAngle/doc/LineRelativeAngle An angle of 0 could be used for a parallel, 90 for an orthogonal. The tool also works in relation to other entities ...

Andrew, thanks for the comment. As I wrote: The green line is the result of exploding a shifted copy of that spline (factor already set down to 2). I had done that already, but not to 1, only to 2 - I'll give that another try! [Edit:] Just saw that I had changed the spline segments parameter, not th...

Hi all, my task: convert a spline derived from actual measurements on my boat (height of a coaming rim, to be the base for a new solid dodger / pilot house) to a polyline. Furtheron, the result shall be integrated into the shape of a window frame for the dodger. Frame and window are to be waterjet-c...

Thanks for your comments - the reason I asked is the task to process some historic cdr files, >15 years old, on a laser cutter. It is not an essential problem to solve, I'll figure out a workaround. Docket closed.

Cheers,

Recently, I had some problems to import QCAD-generated dxf files into vcarve on a friend's computer. The problem was, as I found out, that vcarve seems to refuse dxf formats that are more recent than R14 (!). No idea about the update status of my friend's setup. Yes, I know, QCAD can export dxfs as ...

Jetzt... Ich hatte in gewohnter Routine übersehen, daß ich den vorgegebenen Usernamen mit dem Code zu überschreiben hatte. QCAD - mit Q wie Querdenker.

Erledigt.

Hallo Husky,
Flyspray läßt mich leider nichts machen. Ich hatte mich vorhin dort (im angesprochenen Fehlermeldeportal) registriert, auch als chattermark, die Registrierung wurde auch durch Codeabfrage bestätigt, aber ren ne va plus, wie der Lappländer sagt. Ein User namens .... unbekannt. Hmmm.

Mach ich. Danke für die schnelle Reaktion!
