Re: Select overlapping entities

Hi Andrew, - Use Alt-click instead of Ctrl-Click (Ctrl-Click is the same as right-click on most Mac systems) Thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware of this. Thanks riverbuoy. I've extended / modified this a bit and integrated it into the current development version. I think you're too modest. You've com...

Re: Select overlapping entities

Hi Husky, Thanks for your feedback. My biggest problem with overlapping entities is ........... that I have first to walk into the trap before I know there is more than one entity ... :cry: The select command assumes you know which entities you want to select. Of course, if someone else has done the...

Select overlapping entities

Hi This is a first attempt to solve the issue of selecting a particular entity when they are overlapping, or stacked on top of each other. For example lines. The following image shows 5 lines stacked on top of each other. The first line goes from point 1 to point 6, then the second line goes from po...

Re: Develop qcad by C++, not script

If i use qt creator, how can to set script debugger? In qt-creator you will see down the left hand side of the screen, pointers to different pages, e.g. Welcome, Edit etc. Choose the Projects page. This shows the kit used to build and run the project, e.g. Qt-4.8.4. Under the kit name there are two...

Re: Count up counter for consecutive number labeling

Hi Husky, I have made a very small change to this tool, so now if you switch on 'Show trailing zeroes' and set the precision to 1 you will see a zero at the end of a number:- 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 ... 1.8, 2.0, 2.2 ... 2.8, 3.0 ... For more decimal places set the precision to the number of decimal places re...

Re: Count up counter for consecutive number labeling

Hi Husky, But I'm still facing problems with crazy numbers I tried this on my computer, and it worked fine. On further investigation this appears to be a problem of precision. I set my precision from 4 to 2 decimal places, and I got the same crazy numbers as you. If you are using an increment of 0.0...

Re: Count up counter for consecutive number labeling

Hi guys, the Counter will spit out an unexpected number with the third click ... Oops! I didn't catch that. :oops: I have now hopefully fixed this, and have attached the file 'Counter.js' which contains the fix. Replace the existing file with this one. If you have 'Show trailing zeroes' set in 'Edit...

Re: Count up counter for consecutive number labeling

Hi Husky I remember when drawing architectural plans I used to have to number all the rooms, doors and windows, and some other things also. This would have been easier with a tool like this, so I decided to have a go. I have called this tool 'Counter'. You can start it with the commands 'counter' or...

Open the drop box and choose 'Total length', then enter the length of the lines in the X and Y boxes. The X controls the ...

Re: Question about building qcad on linux

Hi johncrox46

You need to tell QCAD where to find the libraries. They are in the same directory as QCAD.

So to launch QCAD:

cd release
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./qcad-bin

(Note the space between the two dots)

Hope this explains it.

Re: Arc: 2 Points and Height

Andrew, Just a quick note. I noticed on github that the sortorder in Arc3PInit.js hasn't been changed. I changed this from 300 to 500 so that the 3 point option appears after the four 2 point options. It seemed logical to group the 2 point options together, followed by the 3 point option. Perhaps yo...

Arc: 2 Points and Height

Hi, This is a new method of drawing arcs. When googling for a way to draw arcs with a specified length, I noticed quite a few people, in different forums, looking for a way to calculate the radius of an arc with just knowing the chord length and arc height. For example someone wanted to draw the arc...

Re: closing drawing, save the changes

Hi, I've had exactly the same problem, under Linux, since about version 3.7.3 (Community version). Yesterday I made a discovery. I decided to install the Pro Trial version in Windows 8.1, and remove the pro libraries, so as to have the Community version installed. When I had removed the libraries, t...

Re: Tool request: Arc 2 Points and Arc Length

Hi Husky, Like Clive I think this is a nice suggestion, and would be a good option to have. So I decided to give this a go. I guess that isn't to complicated - but I'm not a programmer .... :oops: Ha... Maybe it isn't too complicated for an engineer, but coming from an architectural background, I ha...

Use command line like a calculator

Hi I have made a small change to use the command line as a calculator. Although you can enter expressions in the command line, it doesn't display the result. Also sometimes you just want to do a quick calculation without actually sending the result to a command. If the first character in the command...
