Re: Set spline by start and end points

Topic = spline by start and end points Tool = 3 point arc A spline can hardly be circular, an arc is. Splines end 'normal'. An open control spline needs at least degree+1 control points, an open cubic fitpoint spline at least 3. A quadratic control spline from 3 points is a parabola. All reference p...

Re: How to get coordinates according to step value

Will the command line script not starting the QCAD GUI interface also cause slow operation? Intermediates can be done offscreen ... Command Line tools run QCAD without GUI. For now I need them on screen in the GUI to develop the addon and create/verify the required functionality. I don't like to fl...

Re: Font rendering

TXT.TTF is rendered as Standard.cxf in QCAD. A file saved under QCAD with a text in TXT reloads as Standard as did your example file on download. CXF is a QCAD native format: https://www.ribbonsoft.com/en/tutorial-editing-cxf-fonts TXT origin is TXT.shx what is an ACAD shapefile. See: https://www.qc...

Re: ECMA Script for automatic Polyline offset

This appears to be outdated information: - worker returns nothing with an RPolyline shape. A QCAD Pro GUI offset may be calculated of a collection of polylines among other shapes ... - With an RPolyline shape in an array the worker throws an exception in ShapeAlgorithms.js ... ShapeAlgorithms.getOff...

Where the 3 dots refer to your QCAD installation path. You need Admin rights for that, alternatively it can be included under the QCAD user p...

Re: How to get coordinates according to step value

There is however yet another problem. With loose entities connected or touching within the sum of both Lineweights the hatched area overlaps and True XOR True is not hatched. The solution I see is to hatch each loop separate with doubling the dots and thus point duplicates as result. Duplicate posit...

Re: Conversion DXF to DWF with CL Tools

First question: How can we tell that the DXF is in EPSG:2177? Second question: With GUI in what format? I count 9. Further: I don't see DWF listed with dwg2dwg : https://www.ribbonsoft.com/en/products/qcad-command-line-tools#dwg2dwg_/_pdf2dwg The DWF file loads into QCAD reporting R32 (2018) DWF Dra...

Re: changing property editor dimensional tolerance

Andrew,
As in 1/2^n with n=0...8.
Can the Decimals / precision preference for displayed property values list the fractional base instead of the values 0-8?
When fractional, when not forced to format values in decimal.

As feature request. :wink:

Re: changing property editor dimensional tolerance

Hi, and welcome to the QCAD forum. Indeed, you are correct. The Dimension setting will display rounded values for dimensions but the actual sizes may differ by up to +/- 1/64 in your case. I even prefer Property values in decimal notation and then I prefer in 8 decimal digits (Maxed out). It would e...

Re: How to get coordinates according to step value

Proof of concept Nifty solution. See attached file with Layer states. As is provided (Layer state 1) you find textual info and 2 lines in different weights. In Screen-based Linetypes ( NL ) the thinner line may look as one without a weight. Toggle NL off and you see the real pen sizes. Exploded the ...
