@ MarkMcC, Thanks for the source. I could follow all until where you mention: "Replace these in the Property Editor with the standard 'AR-HBONE' pattern." What didn't you understand there? The full text was: Edit block 'plant11'. Selection Filter (GF) .. Hatches .. Solid is false .. Replace current ...

Hi, The most demanding culprits are in block 'plant8'. The major problem is that the file is very slow as it comes .... :wink: ... extremely slow with a maxed out timeout for hatches as I am used to. :roll: The original file will handle better every change we are going to make. :) First, reduced the...

[1,1/2,1/3,1/4,1/5,1/10 ...] One could file a feature request ... ...

Hi,
QCAD uses the system fonts.

Meaning that one has to install fonts in the common way depending your OS.
These are in general TTF files.

Under windows this is a simple R-click on the font file and choose to install it.

Hi, Yes, about any method that requires a selection, a picked entity and a picked point is an example. In the line of common QCAD methods: - Make selection. (Method requires selection) - Activate tool. - Select focal point. - Select reference entity to get its length. - Display dialog for real measu...

Hi, Among others, https://www.qcad.org/doc/qcad/latest/developer/class_r_document.html document units can be set by script. https://www.qcad.org/doc/qcad/latest/developer/class_r_document.html#a717e9c59edcefa3434f4cbf8e2780516 Important: That doesn't convert between units.

But regarding: https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=5239&p=19404#p19405 The panel width should be saved on any change. Not that you may find this setting to fiddle with it in the ini/conf. The line that changes is: DockappWindows :wink: Fiddling ... :roll: Try resetting your configuration. ...

Hi, I did reflect on this ... Yes, and No :wink: The main difference is that setting a pen option is not an operation. It is setting the preferences to be used for any next operation that creates a new entity. Setting the current layer, is itself an actual change to the document. An operation. I am ...

Hi, Mixing things up ... Block References and Blocks themselves. May I remark that on opening the mentioned dwg, I saw 7 spooks ... Only hardly visible in a certain zoom state.

Hi, Some methods return Null length entities. It was the first thing I looked for! :lol: :lol: :P :D :) :| Cutting, trimming .... some do, in certain cases, most don't.

Andrew, In 2016 you wrote: https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=4159&p=15048#p15048 The Object.getData().castToShape() construct is generally not a good idea since a data object is created (but not used) and a pointer to it's shape is retrieved which is well used. The data object will get delete...

hi, similar to Inkscape? The referred operations are operations on surfaces. In that case we should speak about the enclosed surface by the closed polylines (Contours). Difference , Intersection is feasible with BreakOut auto/manual. Exclusion would be obsolete as nothing changes for both the contou...

Very similar topic as: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=8269 I see ",C" in the text, it works for me to execute that by keyboard. OS related, yes, I can't on a windows 7. In general, it is possible to change a key shortcut associated? No, these built-in shortcuts cannot be re-associ...
