QCAD Pro with QT6

Post by dwsdolce » Sat Dec 21, 2024 10:19 pm

Any idea when QCAD Pro will ship with QT6?
I would like to use the newer version of ECMAScript that comes with QT6 - in particular the map function. The MapCompat implemented in QCAD has poor performance for lookup - one of the main reasons to use a map/dictionary.
The build of QCAD community edition I have done with the QT6 from the source provides the ECMAScript Map but I have no way to get the Pro features in that.

Any information would be helpful.

I had seen those posts. Unfortunately I do not know of a way to build quad pro - only the community edition.
The version of qcad pro available for download does not support qt6.
The snapshots are only of the community edition.
What am I missing? I see no way to get a version of qcad pro built with qt6 or to build qcad pro. Any information would be helpful.

There was likely a problem with installing the MSI. Please uninstall / reinstall. All snapshots are QCAD Professional full versions.

or to build qcad pro
You can not, QCAD Pro tools, methods, JS scripts, libraries and all related are proprietary.

Read the topics content and advice by Andrew carefully.
As a license holder with access to your personal download page, you can instead use a QCAD Pro Snapshot said to already built with Qt6.
Another note by Andrew:
'Snapshots are packages with the current development version of QCAD.
Snapshots should be considered unstable and are not intended for production use
.'

No need to get snippy. I did read it carefully and just reiterated what I had read.
What I missed was the ability to download snapshots of the pro version using the same link that I downloaded my pro copy. Reminding me of this would have been useful and was all I was looking for.

My original question remains unanswered. Is there any plan for when QCAD pro will be released using QT6? I have not found any publication of future release plans and do not know if such a thing exists.
