829 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Additional options for the Info Tool Area ... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
The Info Tool Polygonal Area is a helpful tool ... but I like to ask for additional options
Yes, the polygonal area makes absolute sense but many times you have just to check a square or rectangle area!
It would be nice and time (click) saving if we could use a “Strg Key” to limit the polygonal area to just a rectangle area. Two mouse clicks for a rectangle area and done
In addition to that it would be nice to have the possibility to count up or down a couple areas. E.g. I measure area 1 plus area 2 or area 1 minus area 2 ... Maybe just with an additional keystroke like + or -

Task Description
Merge Parallel Line(with distance), Concentric Arc(with distance), Concentric Circle(with distance) and Offset(Polyline) into one generic Offset with distance tool that if possible also works for ellipses and splines.
Do the same for the “through point” tools so that there also is just one Offset through point tool.
The Offset tools could be located with the Modification tools.

Task Description
It would be nice and helpful if we had the possibility to control the order of Attributes - shown in the property editor. I found a solution for myself with using numbers in the Attribute definition tag - but that isn’t really a nice solution. If I could hide my numbering ... everything would be fine for me ....

Task Description
It would be nice to have the possibility to control the automatic Text orientation in Block attributes. Something what would work like the DIM restriction: I can read the text horizontal and/or from the right side of the drawing sheet.
Right now I have the feeling that the Text orientation is dependent on the tool what I even use. Different tools = different outcomes.

It would be nice to have in “Application preferences” the possibility to predefine a couple Custom Property Names. Right now I use the Custom Property function to add a DIN and the Material info to every Block. This project has a lot of DIN parts and I have to type again and again the names DIN ... Material ... DIN ... Material ... DIN ... Material ... DIN ... Material ... DIN ... Material ... you got my point
If I have predefined Names - I have just to fill out the value

1005 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Making use of mouse buttons configurable | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
According to the help, one requires a middle mouse to pan. Since few standard mice have middle buttons, this is a poor choice for this all important function. The default should be the right mouse button when ever the mouse is placed in an open area with nothing else to select. That way right click can still be used to invoke a pop down menu when ever the mouse is placed over an object that might have a need for pop down menu options. Additionally, the Pan mouse key should be alterable and selectable from a Preferences option, since if one does have a three button mouse, we should not prevent a user from employing this hardware if they have it. The same might be said for all mouse buttons to allow the user to configure the mouse operation to that which is most comfortable and efficient for their tasks.

1009 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Layer Order is Alphabetical vs the Order Defined Origin... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
It would appear that when QCAD imports a DXF, it reorders the layers into alphabetical order (at least when importing R2011). I have not tested this extensively but on other programs, the order is different from alphabetical. Ideally the operator should be given a choice to order the layers as exported (assuming the DXF format remembers that) or alphabetical. This is because a drawing may have a certain stack up of layers (like a printed circuit board) and then alphabetic ordering is not useful nor desired.

Task Description
In the same way as the Pen tool has a drop down menu, would it be possible to have an option to configure the layer list in the same way. I am trying to create a bit more drawing space and it would be good if I could dock the layer list in the top of my window and only take up a single row space!

These are the versions Ubuntu 14.04 comes with, and since it’s an LTS version, it will linger around a while.
(Despite the fact that the Qt4 packages are versioned 4.8.5, qmake –version says 4.8.6, so it doesn’t find the 4.8.5 bindings.)

Being able to fill an area with a bitmap would be a nice addition to the already impressive feature list of QCAD.

1080 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Bitmap export: calculate size based on bounding box inc... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
I have created a drawing, where the CENTERS of the most outer lines have a distance of 3.06mm in both X and Y. The line weight of these outer lines is 0.6mm, so the whole image is 3.06mm + 2* 0.6mm/2 = 3.12mm wide and long (center to center plus half of the line weight on every side). Additionally in the export there is a frame around the image, making it 3.12 + 2*frame. The export function however calculates 3.06mm when setting the resolution to 1000Pix/cm, so it does not include the line weights and the outer frame.

1090 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Export only selected layers to SVG and/or export each l... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
When exporting to SVG it would be helpful if there was a selection of layers to export. E.g. when selecting only layer A in the SVG export dialog, only the objects located/displayed on layer A would be exported to SVG.
As an alternative or additional export feature, there could be an option to export each (non-empty) layer to a separate SVG in one step. The layer names could be used as (part of the) default file names during the export. E.g. Layer A of file XYZ would be exported to “XYZ_A.SVG” while layer B would be exported to “XYZ_B.SVG” etc.
|
|
1098 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Support for set of layers | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Many constructions refer to a basis of elements, which stay constant in all follow-ups. As an example there is a floorplan and I would like to create different variations of room layout (e.g. A and B). In my example the basis consists of 30 layers an each variation needs 10 further ones. At last there are 50 different layers in my drawing. Designing layout A needs layer 1 to 30 (basis) and 31 to 40 (A) to be shown, but 41 to 50 (B) must be invisible. Now I modify Var.B which makes me to single click the visibility of 31 to 40 (A) to be not shown and 41 to 50 (B) to be shown. You’ve got it?
It would be great help, to save the set of all shown layers by an individual name in a pulldown-menu. Visibility of my variations could be chosen by userdefined “set of layers”, e.g. “Var-A”, “Var-B” and “Var-A_but_different”. In this way I pick just one set-name in my pulldown-list instead of marking and demarking between countless layers.
In my opinion this tool would be a small aspect in QCad but a giant leap for user-pleasentness

1104 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Printing: Add support for page range | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
When printing from the preview mode a standard Windows popup shows, letting me select the printer, number of copies and a page range. Unfortunately QCAD (or Windows) ignores the page range - it always prints all pages. So right now I always have to copy the parts I want to print, page them into a separate document and print that instead - even though I got all my stuff nicely lined up for printing on multiple pages.

1111 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Option to swap right/middle mouse button | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Most of the other slightly non-standard CAD/eCAD tools I work with (e.g. Diptrace, PTC Creo Elements) use the right mouse button to drag. So when changing between these applications, it’s slightly confusing/annoying that I need the middle mouse button to drag in QCad. Even worse, the middle mouse button on most mice is the scroll wheel which is not really comfortable to hold while dragging.
So I’d propose an option to switch the function of the middle and right mouse button to allow users to choose the preferable option.

Often in print preview I need to move the paper around and position it with the ‘Move Paper Position’ tool, which is useful, but what would be an additional extra useful option would be a ‘Place Paper Here’ tool.
Then I could simply use this tool first and then use the ‘Move Paper Position’ tool afterwards to fine tune things!
If you look at the attached image you will see that in this students file they have got their drawing spread out all over the place:(

When starting QCAD it will open a new, untitled, page causing me to close that, click through the saving option to discard changes and then load up the project i’m working on. It would be nice to have the option for the program to start with the last used project. I checked the application preferences to see if this option was already possible as it’s common with other applications but couldn’t find it. In ‘Startup’ (the obvious place for it) there was only an option for the splash screen.

1230 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | File > PDF Export / SVG Export: export layers | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Dear Andrew, just in case you should ever run out of ideas for enhancements; As an advisor I sometimes get PDF files and recently, some CAD drawings contained layers, which is kind of nifty to reduce the clutter.
Sadly though, qprinter/qpainter seem to be unaware of OCG (Optional Content Groups, the PDF jargon for layers) at the moment, so my plea is for the back burner now. Probably in SVG though it can be done? Yet that is of a little less use, maybe…

I think it’s a useful adition and makes it easy to select objects that are overlapped. I know there is a selection filter, but sometimes this is faster and/or all the objects share the same type and such things.
If I remember correctly, Inkscape has this behaviour.
Thanks.

1254 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Add drop object along a path with automatic trim | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Add drop object along a path with automatic trim.
The object can be a selection before or after selecting the tool, an entity or a block.
The path can be another entity from a start point to an end point.
Dropping can be made on one side or the other (like in other tools depending on the side of the cursor), with a choice of miroring the object or not.
The number of drops or the distance between can be selected.
The distance can be between a control point of the object or its sysmetry axis or border.
The dropping direction can be selected too.
The droping depth can be constrained : all control points have passed the path, or one of them. Alternatively, replace control points by an entity belonging to the object.
Exemple of use case : equidistant drills in a curved rail. The dropping depth constraint enables for example to ensure a drill has a minimal depth when not orthogonal to a plan.

Task Description
If I have to do some kind of intense tasks like converting a previous Polyline, which is now exploded to lines (maybe a couple hundred thousand short lines) back to a polyline (Polyline/Create from Segments) QCAD needs time to do that. In this “working time” I can’t see any indicator that QCAD is working. Not a Hourglass on the mouse or some other indicator. I have just the feeling: Nothing is going on right now ...
It would be nice to have some kind of visual info that QCAD is working.
