"dist" command in addition to "infodist"

Post by mtoiv » Mon Aug 10, 2020 1:04 pm

Would it be possible to get a "dist" command that would do the same as "infodist" command?

It would be faster to use, if there would be an additional command to the "infodist" command.

Or is there any way to rename commands in the current Pro version of QCAD?

If I understand you correctly, you want to use the infodist (Info > Distance Point to Point) command without having to type "infodist". Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You can set up your own commands under
Edit > Application Preferences > General > Tool Settings

Or you could use the very efficient two letter shortcuts ("IP" for this tool):
