QCAD.org Forum

Yep - I think it has to be reduced to the plain script and what you can do with it (Installation / Tutorials etc). Presented in a more "Public Corner" of this Forum. I don't think that a "Model Railroad track planing guy" will check that often the "Add-On & Plug-in challenge" thread and I like to s...

Soooo..... 8) Played some time now and couldn't get a crash. :D Attached is an example layout with three layers created with the current version 90. I would classify this version as "working". 8) Talking about tutorials: As soon as your script is "ready" for the "big" audience - I like to see your E...

Attached is the current version 90 of QCTrack. Remember: the former Q-N is now Q-C, the current Q-N inserts the track without connection. The features described above are implemented, so no listing here.

Hi there, meanwhile I'm thinking that the menu items for the Track Widget shortcuts should always be there. This seems to be QCad-conforming, at least the Block menu shows "Insert Block" all the time but it makes only sense together with Block List Widget. So I will keep this as is. The filter featu...

Hi Andrew, thanks again for the explanation above. I now created several groups, and between all of them is a separator - all but one (means: I have four groups, separators are between first-second and second-third but not third-fourth, where I also would like to have a separator). Is there a way to...

Hi Husky, the menu items for "insert/rotate from widget" are separate scripts. They check if a track is selected in "the" Track Widget - they don't check if Track Widget is visible. In the track widget on the other side, the "insert/rotate from widget" scripts are enabled / disabled depending on the...

attached is the current version 80 with added version info menu item, fixed Variegate dialog if no solution is found, and some translation updates

Hi Husky, thanks for the report, I can reproduce this: QCad is crashing under XUbuntu 14.04, too. I think this has something to do with "no result" and "ok clicking" - if there is no solution, a message should appear or at least the ok-button should be disabled. I will insert this in the next versio...

Attached is an example for Maerklin Z as dxf and image:

...with the code above, the original entities are removed from the original block. After inserting "storage.setObjectId(clone, RObject.INVALID_ID)" it works as desired.

Attached is a library for "Märklin Spur Z" (Maerklin 1:220 scale) tracks. The creation of the double-slip switch (German: "Doppelkreuzungsweiche") was a bit tricky, so perhaps the library may be useful for people playing with Maerklin Z.

Attached is version 78 with fixed Insert Exploded Block (now the elements are really copied).

...insert exploded track seems to work - but not the way it is wanted... The original lines are removed and not cloned although clone is called... I have to debug this...

Hi Husky, Ok, I can insert an exploded block in my drawing, the block name is still in the block list but empty - and the previously inserted copies in my drawing (of this particular block) will all be gone. And then .... ? That makes not really sense to me - what more do I need to know about this n...

Attached is an example of how to use the QCTrack align function. If you have track ends in a straight line, you can (try to) connect them: Select QCTrack / Fill with straight tracks or type QF. Select track ends to connect. Check / modify maximum use of track elements (first example: 077 is limited ...
