[SOLVED] Qcad vs QcadPro Layers
Andrew,
I remember that one of the reasons I switched to Pro was the Layer functionality.
Writing a script that adds layers or sub layers I wonder if this still holds true.
Is the Layer functionality still turned off after some time for non Pro?
If so, how can a script detect this?
Thanks,
CVH

Re: Qcad vs QcadPro Layers
Layers are available in both QCAD CE and QCAD Pro. Hierarchical layers and some advanced layer properties are only available in QCAD Pro.
Re: Qcad vs QcadPro Layers
CE is same as trial?
Re: Qcad vs QcadPro Layers
You can detect if one of the QCAD Pro plugins is loaded:
Code: Select all
if (hasPlugin("PROTOOLS")) {
// QCAD Pro
}
else {
// QCAD CE
}

Thanks,
Will keep this in mind for a later release.
I am preparing to upload FlexPainter beta v0.41

Re: Qcad vs QcadPro Layers
In the near future FlexPainter will have the option to cast on
the active layer or on a sub-layer of the base entity.
The script has to know if it can create sub-layers.
So it can enable or disable that option.
Thanks for the interest,

Re: Qcad vs QcadPro Layers
There's actually no such thing as sub-layers in DXF. QCAD simply names a parent layer "ParentLayer" and a sub-layer of it "ParentLayer ... MySubLayer". " ... " is defined in RLayer.getHierarchySeparator().
So if your script creates layers called "ParentLayer ... MySubLayer" they will show up as sublayer hierarchy in QCAD Pro and as "ParentLayer ... MySubLayer" in QCAD CE.
Re: Qcad vs QcadPro Layers
I did understand that.
I only don't want to cross the pro boundary as intended by the choise of package.
We probably could circumvent all pro features.
