My name is Richard Dudman, I am using QCad version 3.26.2.0 on a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro (MacOs 10.15.7).
I have a Cricut Maker machine and am interested in making solar parabolic trough collectors out of corrugated cardboard and I need to generate a parabolic curve and export it in SVG format.Is QCad able to do this and how do I accomplish this?
Thanks,
Richard

Re: Parabolic curve
Yes, you could use a script to plot the curve (as polyline or spline).
