Hi there! TL,DR: is there any documentation available about the ECMAScript bindings to Qt used for scripting on QCAD? Description: I am curious if there is any documentation available about the JS-side API of the Qt C++ framework used for scripting. Qt looks quite powerful, and I like the idea of an...

Wonderful, thank you Andrew!

Hi there! Posting here because I just noticed that dwg2bmp is rendering points on the drawing as very thick circles: test_file_points_clean.png Notice the two black circles where it says "RECIBIDOR" and all the black spot on the tree block. I believe all the points in the file have min line weights ...

Ooooh, I see... So the full Qt API has an ECMAScript mirror...? That is sooo interesting...

Wonderful, thank you Andrew!

Hi there! Question: is the possibility of writing a plain text file to the system with the ECMAScript API for a custom CLI script? Scenario: say I am writing a processing tool to perform a batch geometry operations on a set of files. I want to be able to save the modified file, which is straightforw...

Wonderful, thanks andrew!

Ok, thanks. Is there a formal way to submit a "feature request"? Is that here? https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewforum.php?f=31

Hi there, Similar to the "-min-lineweight" options in "dwg2svg" and "dwg2bmp", is there a way to set MAX lineweight? I am looking specifically at this feature for "dwg2bmp." Depending on the configuration of the CAD file, rasterization some times yields terrible results (see attachment). 153.png Tha...

Same problem here with "dwg2bmp", did this feature make it to 3.22.1?

Hello, I am writing a batch process to convert thousands of CAD files to raster. The source files are from very different origins, and many get rasterized with large black fills due to solid hatches. Is there any way to deactivate hatches with raster convert tools such as "dwg2bmp"? Or is there a wa...

Hi Andrew,

Thanks a lot, that was very helpful. I guess my question was more like where can I see the source for `dwginfo` in order to learn from it, but I guess the answer is that I cannot, since it is part of the pro bundle...?

Cheers,

Wonderful, this is very helpful! A couple questions still... First, if I run the call from the terminal, I get nothing on the stdout (using window's powershell): qcad -no-gui -allow-multiple-instances -autostart "scripts/Pro/Tools/DwgInfo/DwgInfo.js" -l .\atestfile.dwg However, if instead I create a...

Hi! First of all, I just started using QCAD Pro command line tools, and I am very impressed by how efficient and featureful it is. Big congrats! Writing a routine to export individual layers from a DWG file to raster. The "-layer=LAYER_NAMES" option from "dwg2bmp" seems to be the way to go, but I ne...
