Dynamic Endpoints?

Post by MikeMillerPE » Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:25 pm

OS: Windows 10 Pro 1803, 64-bit, 8G RAM, 10 cores
QCAD Ver. 3.20.1

Hi Andrew,

I want to create a line for which one or more end points is a dynamic reference to a point object in the drawing, and I want the reference information to be saved in the dwg file.

I can think of adding custom attribute data that references the point handle and then having QCAD check the data on startup, then listen and update the line position when the point location changes.

Or does such functionality exist, maybe requiring some adaptation? What I'm looking for is how dynamic dimensions work in programs like AutoCAD and Microstation, but I don't currently see the feature in QCAD.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

I can confirm that associated dimensions are not supported by QCAD at this point.
