Hi. I spoke with a person before who had Qcad and had the option to draw a polygon but instead entering coordinates on the command line on the bottom of the screen with the angle, he was able to write the lenght on a section to the right and with the w,a,s,d key he was able to choose the direction. Also, an Ui was displayed to the right like a calculator to click on buttons (See attachments). Is it possible to have a script that can mimick or reproduce that?
W,A,S,D coordinates

Re: W,A,S,D coordinates
I'm seeing that for the first time in QCAD. Is that a mock-up?
Yes, it's certainly possible to develop a script in QCAD that provides that functionality.

Re: W,A,S,D coordinates
What do you mean by mock-up?
Ok, if its possible, do you have references or tutorial that i can get to make a script?

Re: W,A,S,D coordinates
Is that something that exists somewhere as a QCAD plugin or did you just make an image of what you wish to have?
You mentioned a person who already uses that in QCAD, hence the confusion. If it already exists, perhaps that person is willing to share it?
Here's a starting point:
https://qcad.org/en/tutorial-script-programming
Obviously that project is more involved. I'd recommend to browse the QCAD scripts for lots of example codes with widgets, user interaction, etc:

Re: W,A,S,D coordinates
Ah ok! I don't know if that's something exist in Qcad. Doesn't seems so. And for the person sharing it, he tried to send me some folders with some scripts but i can't import it. I only have the trial version for the professionnal version. When i start the application after i import the script, Qcad won't start anymore. I want to try the product with the script before buying the professional version.
Thanks!Here's a starting point:
