How do I divide a line into equal length sub lines?
Hi
I would like to divide a line to give me equal lengths of line, e.g. I have a line that I wish to divide into 5 equal length lines.
How do I do that?

Unfortunately I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 64bit and the advice is that QCAD 3 Beta does not work with this OS version.
Should I look towards changing OS or is there likely to be a resolution within the near future?
Kind regards

Unfortunately, it's an issue with Ubuntu 11.04 64bit which is not providing
32bit variants for all of its libraries. They say they will not
fix this issue (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/783155).
As a workaround, you can start QCAD with a non-GTK theme:
E.g.:
./qcad -style plastique
./qcad -style cde
./qcad -style cleanlooks
./qcad -style motif
./qcad -style windows
32bit variants for all of its libraries. They say they will not
fix this issue (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/783155).

Thanks for the really quick response Andrew. I'll have a play using your advice and see how far I get. One last question:-andrew wrote:Unfortunately, it's an issue with Ubuntu 11.04 64bit which is not providing

If I download QCAD 3 beta and install will it over write any QCAD 2.* files or will it make an entirely new file structure so that I can run both?
I'm really enjoying QCAD by the way, it takes me back to a program called DesignCad that unfortunately lost it's way. I wish you every success for the future and would be pleased to make another phi nan tial (I'm trying to get past the spam filter you have) contribution towards the ongoing work if there is a method to do this.
Kind regards

They share no files at all, so you can run them both, even simultaneously.bwallum wrote:If I download QCAD 3 beta and install will it over write any QCAD 2.* files or will it make an entirely new file structure so that I can run both?
Thanks.

Sorry about the annoying spam filter - but we'd get close to a hundred spam posts per day without it, so it's the lesser evil I guess.
Donation (small, I'm nobody grand) done I hope. I'll leave it to you to allocate as you have appeared to have implemented my earlier request.

and the same to you. QCAD3 beta now running in Ubuntu 11.04 64bit using your work-around. Split entities just what I wanted!andrew wrote:Many thanks!
EDIT
Just to follow through I have QCAD beta 3 running in 64bit Ubuntu 11.04. I downloaded and unpacked the linux beta file to my home directory. I'm Bob. The start up script, qcad, therefore sits in the folder /home/bob/qcad-3.0.0-beta-prof-linux
To make it run from a Desktop launcher I created a launcher by right clicking on the Desktop, selecting Create Launcher and where asked for a command I used:
Code: Select all
sh -c 'cd /home/bob/qcad-3.0.0-beta-prof-linux && ./qcad -style plastique'
