Re: Rotating an object when I don't know the exact angle to rotate

How long have I been using Qcad?? and I didn't know that. Every day's a learning day. Cheers Husky :wink: Between yourself, Andrew, CVH, Mr H, Ryan and everybody else.... the "QCAD" flexibility seems endless. I must admit (albeit slightly off topic)... every time I see updates I say to myself "fina...

Undo/Redo observation

When first started QCAD Edit menu has Undo [-] and Redo [-] Draw a circle then it changes to "Undo [circle type" -- ("Undo [Center, Radius" being example) Draw a Rectangle then the Undo menu selection does not change but stays "Undo [Center, Radius". Likewise for the Redo menu option. All works as i...

Re: selective layers constraint when scaling

Ryan - thank you. You are correct, not really where I wanted to go and way over my head :oops: . However, your time is most appreciated. CVH - :idea: Now the lightbulb is on! I see what you mean about the box. I just never took the stretch tool to the outer limits. Husky - you need to box up all tho...

Re: selective layers constraint when scaling

Yeah, I saw that, - working on motorcycle and trying to conjure correct words and an example are 3 things... being male, it's obvious I'm not capable of chewing gum and walking simultaneously :) I'll persevere... I think I'll be forced to make several windows/blocks, each of different sizes. Sorta n...

Re: selective layers constraint when scaling

Many thanks guys... but I think we're at an impasse. Unless there's a completely different train of thought. I am specifically wanting to "lock" a specific layer dimensions and keep ratio of position with an adjustable (scalable/moveable) entity. Attached should be clearer? I want to keep the red bi...

Re: selective layers constraint when scaling

Thank you. I think that might not be what I'm asking, but I'll try. I'm trying to constrain any stretching on certain layers/entities in a block/layer. However, I'm off the the drawing to play with that now. Nope..

Very best

[Answered/Solved] Selective layers constraint when scaling

Hello again. I hope I can ask this correctly. I want to create a "template" window block. However, windows do change dimension, normally the frame remaining a fixed dimension. Is there a way to re-dimension a entity/block but keep certain entities in that layer/block constrained to the dimensions it...

Re: How to move point of line or shape?

There are 2 little things you should play with.

1) Left click and hold ON the point and then drag [that point]
2) Left click and hold on entity near a point and then drag.

2 distinct actions. Play with lines, polylines, circles, ellipses, blocks, dimensions.... play....

Play, play, play.....

Parallel (through) LG? Then delete construction line.
Also OG works... each (LG and OH) require a construction line before the actual move. I'm sure there's an easier way though.

edit: accidentally type "OG", not "OH".

Re: Line Break Symbol script

That looks like a new tool is required.....possibly :roll: I guess I'm probably making more of a wishlist on this. I made those multiple cycles just by copying. I was thinking the amplitude of the zig-zag could be a 3rd point, rather than from a typed number (and that point could snap?) also the an...

Re: Line Break Symbol script

Pete, thank you. What I mean by "cycle" is frequency, this lovely feature only has 1Hz, 1 cycle.

This is a 3 cycle Sawtooth.
