Oh, man! Yes, that is it.

But it seems strange to users that rect, freehand, etc works but ellipse.

Use "ldd" command.
dynamic library path
etc. to track down the problem.

$LDD_LIBRARY_PATH I think this was it on Linux.

Maybe a script can set the path to the right libs.

Possible solution:

1. Draw the ellipse as normal.
2. Then use the Pen Tool "li" to match the ellipse as needed.
3. Use the fill tool al normal.
4. Hide the lines in the closed polygon from 2.
5. Done.

With this method - filling a polyline - you can fill any shape.

See: QCad2.1\scripts\input01.qs ------------ /** * Author: Andrew Mustun * * Draws a sine curve from parameters given by the user. */ function main() { var doc; // current document var view; // current document view var line; // line to add var i; // counter var factor; // scaling factor var lx = -1...

As far as I know, this it not possible or does not work right now.
But maybe you can select these special components, place it in a different LAYER and then give theme a SPECIAL color or else different attributes.

I think it is good to have all commands always with the same names.
Maybe you can use a external tool, for key recording and setup a hotkey here.

Basically, use "Layers" on the right side of QCad.
Then Change the Layer attributes to change anything within this layer.

Edit an existing Drawing with the Edit, Attibute or the like on the left-side of QCad.

Hotkey "at".

Templates?
Or Blocks within drawings?

Yes you can!

Just use Hotkey "ir". Or Menu Info Polygon Aera.

Works great and with complex multi polygon forms.

Use Hotkeys:

1. "re" - Rectangle.
2. "rn" - Radius.

Works greate and fast.
