Hi! I need to make a dotted line, but the distance between the points should be necessarily 5 millimeters like this
It's possible? It would be great if this could be done with "Linetype" option. Other options are welcome.
1 mm ø dots every 5 mm

Re: 1 mm ø dots every 5 mm
You can add your own linetypes in linetypes/metric of your QCAD installation by adding a lin file, for example:
File name: "mytype.lin"
File contents:
This creates a dotted line type named "My Dot" with gaps of 5mm at a line weight of 1.0mm. Note that line patterns are scaled down / up with line weights.
File name: "mytype.lin"
File contents:
Code: Select all
*MYDOT,My Dot . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
A, 0, -5.0

Thanks, it's working, but little bit not as is needed. There is no dot at the start of the line:
Can it be fixed?

Re: 1 mm ø dots every 5 mm
This is a rounding error (you can make the line a small amount, e.g. 0.001 longer and the point will show up). This will be corrected for the next release.
