2056 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Option Duplicate layer (yy) inclusive all sub-layers. | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
If I’ve to duplicate a layer with a bunch of sub-layer it’s a kind of a Sisyphus task to get it done. Currently I have to duplicate each single layer. Then in an additional step I’ve to address each child layer to the proper parent layer.
Current lack: Marked parent layer with all sub-layer / Duplicate Layer / only ONE layer will be duplicated.
With other words: If I have to duplicate a layer with 5 sub-layer it requires 11 steps to get a copy of that tree ...

Task Description
Hi,
my setting for “Auto Zoom on load” is checked to on. That works perfect for me for most of my drawings.
But if I save a drawing with Layout Viewports then I have to adjust every Viewport again after loading.
Would it be possible to have an option below Application Preferences / Graphics View / Appearance / Auto Zoom on load / ON which excludes drawings saved with Layout Viewports?

1464 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Option button to access finer grid to snap | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Hi,
I use eagle cad for pcb designs and I like its ability to snap to finer snap to grid when pressing option button (ALT in windows). I am fine with auto grid setting, however, it would be good to also have a way to access finer grid when pressing down option button.
For example, when zoomed out, grid is 100mm apart. When pressing down on the option button (ALT in windows), grid switches to finer 10mm. This will save me time, zooming in to access finer grid to snap to.

If I use the test drawing which I posted in 2013 ( FS#843 ) it works still as expected after it was fixed.
If I create a new block it won’t work in a new drawing nor in the old test drawing - no chance to snap to the Block Reference.

Task Description
It would be nice to have an additional Coordinate tool for isometric constructions.
If I’m working on an isometric drawing I have to design my things with x, y, z coordinates. Y is, of course not a problem but for x and z I have most off the time to work with construction lines for move, copy, locate etc. With an isometric coordinate snap tool what will follow the 30° angles for x and z we could save a lot of construction lines

When using the info tools, like the point to point measure it would be useful to be able to select a scale as well.
For example, when I scale a drawing say to 1:20, when working on the scaled drawing I can measure accurately with the measure tool in 1:20 also, without having to keep refering to the 1:1 drawing.

792 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | New 'Match' properties tool | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
To add a new ‘Match’ properties tool.
For example, I have a large drawing with lots and lots of entities on various layers and I want to select some entities (say 500 or more) which are all on different layers and change all these selected entities to match the properties of one other particular entity - but, but I want the ‘Matched’ entities to remain on their own layers.
OK, of course I can use the property editor for this and this is fine in most instances but I would first need to determine the the layer data for the properties of the entity I would like to match to (Color, Line weight and Line type) in the first place and then I need to remember these attributes in order to change things in the property editor in order to change all of my selection to match!
As I say mostly the above procedure would be fine to use but for convenience it would be great to have a new tool to do all this for me and cut out a few steps in the process.
A new ‘Match’ properties tool procedure could be something like this:
1. Select Match properties tool.
2. Select all entities to be matched.
3. Select entity to match to.
4. Tick or leave un-ticked - move to same layer.
5. Complete process.
* Actually, while writing this I`ve just thought of another useful addition which could be added to the Info tool set, ‘Entity’ properties info! Example - click on Info > Entity Properties and click on the entity in question and then the properties are displayed without going to the layer data for this! Just an idea ;)

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.

Just a thought, but one that could be useful for machinists in particular - a measurement tool that can snap to a point as per usual, but then just displays the drawing coordinates in X and Y. This could be expanded to the dimensions tool set, so that you can click on a point and print the coordinates next to it.

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.

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.

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: If I like to make a hatch and the contour isn’t closed I get a Grey circle Info where the contour isn’t closed. Nice!
But ..... I have this Info only for ONE not proper connection and only for the moment when the mouse pointer is over the Hatch Tool Symbol.
If I have to zoom into the Problem - I will lose the Info where the problem is
To get the “Problem Info” back I have to select it again - but for that I have to zoom out ...............
It would be nice to have this “Problem Info” longer in the drawing - maybe until I solved all problems.
And it would be nice to have ALL Infos for not connected lines at the same time. It is not really helpful to repeat this function 20times if I have 20 connection problems ... ;)

Linientool → Wert 5* eingeben und y durch Auswahl mit der Maus von dem vorhandenen Elements übernehmen.
Natürlich könnte ich die Geometrie Info benutzen um den Wert abzulesen oder auch über die Zwischenablage zu benutzen. Ein abgreifen mit der Maus wäre aber schneller, direkter und wahrscheinlich auch mit weniger Fehlern (Human error) verbunden. Wahrscheinlich auch genauer da QCad, denke ich, mit mehr Nachkommastellen rechnet, oder?

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…
