It is correct that DimHorizontal & DimVertical are both DimRotated. The diff is set in DimHorizontal.js and DimVertical.js: this.data.setRotation = 0 or pi/2. I set this.data.setRotation in my functions and thought that would be enough but evidently not. I have just rewritten them to use the DimHor...

I decided to take the second route you suggested, with mixed success. I have fully working functions for horizontal and aligned dims, however I'm still having trouble creating functions for vertical and angular dims. I will post what success I have had so far. My horizontal dim function, which works...

Is there a way to create dimension labels with a script? For example, in the command line, the following input will create a dimension label:
Is there an easy way to do this within a script, short of including and pulling apart the Dimension scripts?

Please be sure to also check out the Qt API doc and search through the extensive QCAD sources for examples. You can simply implement slotMyButton for a toolbutton named MyButton . Have a look at the Line2P example. Many thanks for all your help, andrew! I think I now have everything I need to finis...

In this case, you're talking about the options toolbar at the top, not a dialog: var optionsToolBar = EAction.getOptionsToolBar(); var lengthEdit = optionsToolBar.findChild("Length"); Excellent! That works perfectly when I append .text to the end of the findChild methods. Thank you very much! How a...

Let's say your dialog widget is called "dialog": var lengthEdit = dialog.findChild("Length"); Using qDebug("User input: " + dialog.findChild("Length")); returns "ReferenceError: Can't find variable: dialog" I am opening the file with this.setUiOptions("file.ui"); if that helps. Edit: Is this assumi...

Say I have a text box widget created by a .ui file: <widget class="RMathLineEdit" name="Length"> <property name="toolTip"> <string>The length</string> </property> <property name="text"> <string notr="true">1000</string> </property> </widget> and a button: <item> <widget class="QToolButton" name="Con...

Sorry to bother you again with this, I had to take a break from this project for a while but I now have a few days free to dedicate to making this tool work and would appreciate some more help. If the user enters a value in the command line, your action receives a commandEvent: BrickArch.prototype.c...

Thank you for your advice, andrew! I have done as you suggested and completely rewritten my tool, testing it periodically for errors and making some substantial improvements from the original. There are only 3 things missing now: Receiving the variables from the command line Math formulas that work ...

Here is the code I have written so far. Its a bit of a mess and I expect a lot of things are probably in the wrong place. Trying to run it in QCAD produces no results and I don't know how to make QCAD print error messages. //! [include] include("scripts/EAction.js"); //! [include] //! [constructor] ...

QCAD version: 3.17.1 OS: Windows 10 at work and Devuan GNU/Linux at home Hello, QCAD community, I am new here and would hugely appreciate some pointers on my first project. I am working on a tool/script to automatically generate a 2D template for a brick arch (a trapezium consisting of smaller paral...
