Re: Library Browser
andrew, thanks for the response but I think "dragging the file" is something that requires a desktop environment/file manager to provide some external functionality? I'm a bit old-school and only use a window manager. What does this action do, can I do this from the QCAD console or the ECMAScript Sh...

Re: Library Browser
inserting a dxf seems to work, but the involute gear generator I wrote does disappointingly seem out of reach now

Re: Is there a way to rotate the crosshair? Rotate Coordinate System?
if you worked on your part which was angled in a block, you could have it aligned with the grid.. then insert the block in the main drawing at an angle. To edit the part, just edit it in the block..?

Re: Config before compilation fails
You did not say what platform you are working on but qtscript, qtsvg and qtxmlpatterns at least are modules which need to be installed in addition to the qt5 base as far as I know. Perhaps QTCreator does not include them?

Re: QCAD Pro and QCAD Community
QCAD Community Edition is open source, distributed on github under the GPLv3 licence and you can compile this yourself on many operating systems (I use it on NetBSD) QCAD Pro (and QCAD/CAM) is based on the same sources but with closed source binary extensions, which are included as time-limited modu...

Re: CAD comparison and opinions
Hi You can also remove the trial features and revert to the Community Edition in which case you can use it all day without any issues though of course you may be lacking some features that you find necessary. Andrew also generously makes the source code (for Community Edition) available and you can ...

Re: QCad on Rasberry Pi
for QCAD Pro, I believe the answer is No but for QCAD Community Edition it is perhaps, depending on your OS. At least NetBSD does work[1] on Raspberry Pi, and QCAD CE is available in pkgsrc and works well on my laptop and insofar as I can tell does build on ARM platforms[2] but I have not a Pi so I ...

Re: Adjusting Background Images
I agree that this is not easy. The way I have done this is in two steps. First resize and/or locate the object so that the reference point will need to be moved towards the target point, meaning that it does not obscure the target beforehand. Then, do the resize or move for real.

Re: release plugin built in debug mode?
Yes, it should not build with debug enabled in pkgsrc and I have a fix pending for that (your message reached me via other means but I've been unable to look at it for a couple of weeks). I don't know if this is related to the Qt4->Qt5 update but essentially, just remove the "debug_and_release" keyw...

Re: How to make image print normally in PDF
Hi
I don't know if this is significant but the image seems to me to be a PNG with transparency. I don't know how these normally work but it looks like it is uniform black with a transparent background. If you edit that to remove the transparency then you might get a result.

Re: Cycloid and Involute curves for gears construction
There is a paper, here http://web.mit.edu/harishm/www/papers/involuteEWC.pdf which describes the use of splines for approximating an involute curve in CAD systems. I think the approximation would be pretty close for the range of curve that is used in a gear for example, not sure about an extended le...

Re: Copies And Layers
You can nest blocks, eg have two 1. Back View (draw the outline) 2. Front View (insert Back View, plus the lines you want in addition) then insert Back View and Front View into your drawing and they will show differently. If you change Back View, then the outline portion of Front View will also change

Re: Etching HO Scale Balconey Rails
Hi it seems to me that you are drawing two lines (one for each side of the bar) and trimming all the intersections away then doing a fill? why don't you just draw single lines (one for each bar, in the centre position of the bar) then adjust the width of the lines to be the width of the bar. that wo...
