Hello all,

Is it possible to insert a Variable inside a Text or Block Attribute?

I would like to use this feature to show the area of a Polyline inside a Text.
Thank you! Best regards,

David

Hello, I started scripting and using Script Shell. I managed to get x&y coordinates of lines start&end points and other information, but I cannot get areas. I tried "entity.getArea()", but it looks like this function doesn't exist. This is the code I'm using: var doc = EAction.getDocument(); var ent...

Hello Husky, Finally the problem was solved. I needed to do a reinstallation of the whole linux system because I had some problem external to QCAD. After reinstall and recover backup files, QCAD was writing with my normal spanish keyboard. I didn't have the chance to try the last solution you sugges...

Do you mean the QCAD Command Line?
For me it's not working this way (see attached screenshot).

Thanks!

Thanks Husky, I tried resetting QCAD but with no result about keyboard layout. I started QCAD from scratch, who asked me about configuration (units, sheet, language, etc); I tried with Spanish language interface and also with English language interface, but my keyboard layout was setup to English in...

Still typing wrong. I can confirm it's english layout instead of spanish, and it is ONLY happening in QCAD.

I'm trying to modify the Block command so that blocks will be created always in some specific layer. I didn't see the way to do it using existing commands, so I was tracing 2 different script strategies: OPTION 1: 1.1.- Create Block 1.2.- Set Selection to Layer "0b" or ... OPTION 2: 2.1.- Get Curren...

Hello, I'm running QCAD 3.17.3.0 (3.17.3) in Linux (Ubuntu 16.04). I use spanish keyboard layout, and it is working in my whole operating system, but not in QCAD. It seems to work with some layout similar to english, but I'm not sure. I deleted all files and installed again QCAD, with no results. It...

Hello Husky, I use an spanish keyboard. In order to don't interfere with existing shortcuts I decided to use "ñ" and "ç" for these new ones. Actually I would like to improve the command with some dialog like: Enter Character position in layer names -- 1,2,3,... Enter Character -- a-z A-Z 0-9 Enter f...

Hello all, I just finished some commands to control layer visibility depending on the 2nd character of the layer name. I use to name layers with only two characters, the first one is for the building chapter (demolitions, structure, partitions, roofs, etc.) and the second one to define the kind of v...

I don't find the way to close the current window/drawing by keyboard. I'm on Linux - Ubuntu 16.04, last QCAD version.
Only "Close All" with Ctrl+Shift+W is possible. I there any other way a part from mouse?

Thanks a lot! Best regards,

David

Thanks again Andrew!

Hello,
Yes, I mean using View > Selection filter. I don't see any "Custom Property" option in the Selection Filter "Property" menu, so I guess it is not possible right now, at least without scripting specific command to do that.

Hello all,

Is it possible to filter entities by Custom Properties? (I mean the ones user can add at the end of the Properties Toolbar)
If not, I guess it is possible using some script, is it?

Thank you. Best regards,

David

Thanks a lot!
