1681 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Auto-dimensioning | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
You can apply the command to Lines, PolyLine segments, Arcs, Circles, and Rings:
For linear entities parallel to an axis of the coordinate system, aligned Dimensions (parallel Dimensions) are created. For linear entities not parallel to an axis of the coordinate system, either aligned Dimensions (measuring the absolute distance between two points) or horizontal or vertical Dimensions (measuring the horizontal or vertical distance between two points) depending on where you move the pointer are created.
For curved entities, you can create radial, diameter, linear, angular, and arc length Dimensions.
To dimension entities:
Click Dimension > Auto (or type AutoDimension). In the graphics area, select an entity to dimension. Click to place the dimension line. To use another dimension type for Circles or Arcs, specify an option: Diameter. Creates a diameter Dimension. Radial. Creates a radial Dimension for an Arc or Circle. Linear. Creates a linear Dimension of the diameter of a Circle or an aligned, horizontal, or vertical Dimension between the end points of an Arc. Angular. Dimensions the angle between the end points of an Arc. Arc length. Dimensions an Arc length. Note: The chosen option is the default the next time you use the AutoDimension command.
When you move the pointer during a linear dimensioning, you can: Lock. Determines the current dimension type (aligned, horizontal, or vertical) regardless where you move the pointer. Unlock. Unlocks the type of linear dimension used. Press Enter.
*** In short, when you use this tool you click on an entity and it will know what dimension you’re looking for. For Circles, you can specify in the command window R or D for Radius or Diameter. This would be extremely useful on large drawings where a lot of dimensioning is to be done. One tool and start clicking on entities for dimensioning.

1705 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Connect certain actions and layers | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
When dimensioning my drawings I always want the dimensions to be on the dimensions layer. When adding text I want the text to be on the text layer. When drawing an infinite line it is always a construction line, therefore I want it to be on the construction line layer. When drawing a line segment it almost always is on my outline layer.
So I propose a new option to bind certain actions to certain layers. Whenever those actions are selected the layer should automatically be switched.
I can imagine this being implemented in the General→Tool Settings menu, where the short cuts are defined.

Task Description
Hi Andrew,
I’m not sure whether this has been added or suggested already. It would be great to have a built in QCAD table tool for producing cutting lists or bill of materials etc. A dedicated table tool would be a real boost to QCAD Pro ;)
Many thanks

Task Description
Hi Andrew,
Currently the only option to insert a viewport is using the central insertion point, for better placement it would be useful to have an option to insert viewports at any of the four corners in addition to the centre.
Hope that makes sense.
Many thanks

Hi Andrew,
It would be good to have an option to be able to place the text to the left or right,maybe just a simple check box? please see attached screenshot to explain. In this instance (and I have to do this a lot ;)) I had to explode the dimension entity and rearrange the text manually :(
Many thanks

Task Description
Same txt as on the forum. had a copy because i had to log in 3 times to remark my own post.
Blocks are no solution either.
see pdf [attachment=0]Block test_1.pdf[/attachment]
Antartica is put in a block as segments. Added a rounded corner as segments and as poly. scaled X x0.5 Y x1 origin the center of the magenta circl.
The scaled version is all over the place. Set them to color red, no use they stay black.
The reference of the block is 2000mm to the left because I tried it out far right of my design. The cyan circle is about 400mm in diameter.

Task Description
Hi,
Identical scale expression used in Print Preview like 5:1, 5/1, 5”=1”, 5 are working flawless like expected. Same expression used in a Viewport scale leads to different outcomes.
The Property Editor used to fix that in Paper_Space does also not accept those standard expressions.

1833 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Deep synchronize attributes feature | Assigned | |

Task Description
There is the Synchronize attributes feature which works well. But It affects only block references in the active layout(modelspace, block layout). If I want to synchronize attributes of block references in in another blocks, i have to manually go through all blocks and run synchronize attributes feature. That is the reason I would like to modify Synchronize attributes feature to affect all block references in a drawing, or add new Deep synchronize attributes feature.

While full support for the buttons and such would be nice, just the ability to map the axis to pan and zoom would be wonderful.

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.
