Re: Automatic Mirror Copy?

There is a way using blocks (for the advanced and adventurous users out there): - create a block for the part you want to work on - mirror the block as desired - you now have two block references: the original and the mirrored - right-click on the block reference you want to work on and choose "Edit...

Re: Clone different objects to new Layer

We don't need to go convert to a shape as indeed not all entities have a shape representation. You can simply query the entity, clone it and re-add it to a different layer. I'd also do it in one single operation: var appWin = EAction.getMainWindow(); appWin.handleUserMessage("Neubau mit Farbe hinter...

Re: Odd Printout behaviour observed yesterday....

The first time you switched to print preview, you were probably asked if you want to auto fit the drawing to the paper. QCAD asks this if the drawing doesn't fit at its current scale. You can always auto fit later in the print preview by clicking the button here indicated with the red border: auto_f...

Re: Corkscrew or streching an ellipse

I don't see how this would be mathematically defined.

Perhaps a spline is better suited for what you are trying to do?

Re: Nesting issues

OK, thanks.

Can you try enabling another default: Place small parts into holes of other parts (Kleinteile in den Aussparungen anderer Teile anordnen)

Re: Paper Drawings to Full Size Printable Files Workflow

To scale (and optionally rotate) a bitmap to adjust it to given reference points, you can use: Modify > Align Reference Points The tool lets you choose two reference and target point pairs. The reference points in the bitmap will be aligned to the target points, so you can for example proceed like t...

Re: How to make Scale Options proportional by default

We cannot communicate a timeline for the next version as this depends on passing unit tests on all platforms. This is not considered a high priority issue.

Re: Picutre import hides drawing lines

You can disable highlighting of entities completely under:
Edit > Application Preferences > Graphics View > Behavior > Highlight entity within range (untick)

The behaviour is desired when working with overlapping bitmaps. A separate preference might be added for bitmaps.

Re: Picutre import hides drawing lines

The reason: QCAD displays the currently highlighted entity that is nearest to the mouse cursor in front, so you cannot accidentally select something you cannot see. This has not changed in recent versions. The solution: Put the image on a separate layer and lock that layer, making the bitmap not sel...

Re: Impression à une échelle définie (1:50)

Il convient de noter que les imprimantes ne sont pas très précises, principalement en raison du glissement lors du transport du papier. Le papier, quant à lui, n'est pas non plus un matériau précis puisqu'il se contracte et se dilate en fonction de la température et de l'humidité. L'écart peut attei...
