Re: Grid and Meta Grid

Perhaps just an illusion? Grid dots are more visible when close together than when far apart.

Can you compare two grid dots from two screenshots (zoomed in and zoomed out).

Re: Picutre import hides drawing lines

QCAD 3.29.4 is now available which has a new preference for this (images are not raised by default).

I would still strongly recommend to put background images on a locked layer for tracing to prevent accidental selection or modification.

Re: Automatic Mirror Copy?

There is a way using blocks (for the advanced and adventurous users out there): - create a block for the part you want to work on - mirror the block as desired - you now have two block references: the original and the mirrored - right-click on the block reference you want to work on and choose "Edit...

Re: Clone different objects to new Layer

We don't need to go convert to a shape as indeed not all entities have a shape representation. You can simply query the entity, clone it and re-add it to a different layer. I'd also do it in one single operation: var appWin = EAction.getMainWindow(); appWin.handleUserMessage("Neubau mit Farbe hinter...

Re: Odd Printout behaviour observed yesterday....

The first time you switched to print preview, you were probably asked if you want to auto fit the drawing to the paper. QCAD asks this if the drawing doesn't fit at its current scale. You can always auto fit later in the print preview by clicking the button here indicated with the red border: auto_f...

Re: Corkscrew or streching an ellipse

I don't see how this would be mathematically defined.

Perhaps a spline is better suited for what you are trying to do?
