Andrew, thank you for the candid appraisal. I'm not sure what you mean by "example configuration," but our needs are fairly basic.
I was hoping to find someone with experience using both QCAD/CAM and Sheetcam who could offer a comparison in terms of ease-of-use, compatibility, etc.

Re: Selecting between overlapping lines in QCAD
Hi Clive, I may be missing something here, but... Let's say I have an 8" line on top of a 6" line--same layer, color, etc. Thankfully, QCAD does a nice job of letting me know there is more than one line there, but pointing and clicking anywhere on the lines selects the longer one. I understand I can...

Re: Selecting between overlapping lines in QCAD
Thanks for the replies. Maybe we can hope for this feature in future releases...? It would be nice if we could somehow "tab" through overlapping lines.

Re: Selecting between overlapping lines in QCAD
If I end up with two or more overlapping lines in the same layer, is there a way to cycle through the different lines in order to select the one I want?

Re: Maximum arc length
That explains it. Thanks for the quick reply, Andrew and Clive. I suppose I'll have to forgo the abstract doodling until the next release...

Maximum arc length
Dear Forum, Does QCAD have a limit to the length of arcs? I am having some trouble making qcad-pro draw very long arcs. Here is the situation: I draw a square with sides measuring, say, 2,000,000 units (inches). Then, using the Arc by 2 Points with Angle Tool, I use the mouse to draw a 90-degree arc...
