What's the limit based on? Is it a memory limitation? Or some hardcoded limit? I'm just wondering if there's an equation I can use to determine the -x and -y values as I'll be using dwg2bmp in a script to process large numbers of dwg files (so trial and error method is not practical). It's a limit ...

Is there a -r (or -x, -y) limit in dwg2bmp? A dwg file I tried to convert to png would work with -r 25, but fails with -r 26. Yes, there are size limits for bitmaps. Please keep in mind that the bitmap has to be created in 24bit colors and uncompressed before it can be compressed into a much smalle...

Sure, fair point.

Updated dxflib packages are now available from:

Is there a reason why it isn't in QCAD? I know that this function might be practical for some users. However, I think it's generally not a good idea to try to guess what a user is really trying to do and change the software in such a way that it no longer does what the user tells it to do but inste...

ross: Let's say your current drawing contains a rectangle on a layer called 'layer1' which has its color set to 'white'. The item you drag in contains a triangle, also on a layer called 'layer1' which happens to be 'red'. Dragging in the triangle causes an inconsistency: there's an existing layer 'l...

I think he uses another version CreateBlock.js which was only posted here and is not included in QCAD.

In both videos, a block recursion is created. In the first video, the resulting structure is: 'block 1' contains only one entity: a reference to 'block 1' (i.e. itself). There is nothing to show here, since block 1 only contains a reference to itself, there are no actual entities involved since the ...

Am I right in thinking that 3 D would be the way to go here ? I don't understand this question. Are you asking if QCAD supports 3D? If so, no it does not. QCAD is a 2D CAD. My Question now is how do I print the drawings that I have. Please refer to our tips and tutorials section at: http://www.qcad...

Not sure I can follow. If you have a block reference of block "A" in your drawing, you cannot use that block reference to overwrite the definition of block "A" since the block reference and the block definition are already identical (by definition). If you create a new block "A" which contains a blo...

I did opt out of the two trial add ons because I am using it on a trial basis, to see if it will fulfill my needs. To try out QCAD Professional, please do NOT remove the QCAD Professional add-on. Removing the QCAD Professional add-on leaves you with the free QCAD Community Edition which indeed only...

Yes, there are various ways to do this, for example File > Import or Edit > Copy / Paste or drag a file in from a file browser. The best solution depends a bit on your specific use case.

You can get the latest files from our git repository at:

I will also update the dxflib packages shortly.

The QCAD Community Edition can only store in one DXF format: R15 (2000/LT2000) DXF Drawing (dxflib). The warning is shown to make users aware that 24bit colors will be converted to one of the 256 colors available in DXF R15 and that black layer and entities are stored in white since DXF R15 does not...

Die Lösung kann z.B. sein, eine Farbe "Papierfarbe" zu definieren, die von der "automatischen Anpassung" nicht geändert wird. Die "Papierfarbe" ist wie die Hintergrundfarbe, nur dass sie nicht automatisch angepasst wird. Eine neue Farbe mit spezieller Funktion zu definieren liegt beim DXF/DWG Forma...
