If I understand you correctly you are talking about a curve rather than a (straight) line.

The QCAD Community edition does not offer a scripting interface like QCAD Professional does. With the scripting interface you can programmatically add entities to a QCAD drawing from a script environment,

For the Community Edition, you could try to create a simplified DXF file with your lines or other entities in it.

This simplified DXF file can be read by QCAD. It contains two lines:
(45.6,33.4) - (60.5,55.2)
(23.2,12.5) - (34.5,26.3)

Code: Select all
