May I ask what engraving machine you would be using please?

Hello PUIQ, This is a simple task, there is no need to mill the letters by pocketing, too small! Simply keep outlines and any inner contours like with an 'e' and use a hatch fill instead. I have done this type of things lots of times with text, a laser cutter would be used to engrave the fills accur...

Zebulon,

For me personally this is a 'no brainer' - for the low cost investment for the pro version, the return you get back is absolutely superb, whether you intend to use QCAD for private work or indeed commercial work!

Hello Paul, Yes there is a way to achieve this, quite simply draw out your first line to the length you need, say 2mm, then use the move/copy tool to copy the line with the number of copies you need. You can determine at what distance you want to space the copies either manually by clicking in model...

Garry,

Are you able to use Trolltec's software (JC) direct with QCAD, or are you restricted with using CorelDraw as the doorway?

Hello Garry,
Good to hear you are pleased with using QCAD, yes as you say it is an intuitive program to use.

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks Andrew for the clarity, yes I can now see the potential usefulness, great addition to QCAD, it will be interesting to see what others may use this tool for.

Hi Andrew,

Firstly a big thank you for the extra new options for the dimension tools, really very useful.

Please could you explain and clarify what the morphing tool is actually for, it looks very creative I must say.

Many thanks

Clive

It's really good to read about what other people are using QCAD for these days.

What do you use QCAD for - any more interesting projects out there?

I think the same linnemann. Since I got used to QCAD I don't want to go back to any other 2d cad software!

Great to hear that, thank you.

Hi Andreas,

I'm pleased you've got the QCAD book it is a great way to learn about 2D cad drafting and as you say there is often more than one way to draw something up. Thank you so much for sharing what you are using QCAD for, very interesting.

Many thanks

Hi Andreas,

I would definitely suggest the QCAD book, it will instill the underlying principles for 2D cad drafting and the correct methods for most likely all of your drafting needs for many years to come.

What are you using QCAD for?

Many thanks
