Bulk Break out

Post by pimple » Tue Nov 28, 2017 2:45 am

Hello, everyone!
I'm looking for a command / scripted way to apply 'Break out segment' to a group of lines. Here's a helping picture.

My situation

What I'm trying to achieve is getting the same result as if I was applying (D, 2) to all those lines, using the vertical line as guiding intersection. I'd like to apply this to the whole group, avoiding clicking on each line. Actually, the best case would be removing everything on the left of that vertical line, but I could do that using selection after applying (D, 2). I have no problems with doing it by means of a script, if necessary.

Thank you in advance,
Bye!

Yes, that is a very helpful tool but unfortunately only available in the QCAD Pro Version. It's called "Clip to rectangle" and works like your "Wishlist"

It comes with three options:
Clip to Area,
Clear Area,
or
Cut at Area Boundary
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.
If a thread is considered as "solved" please change the title of the first post to "[solved] Title..."

Ok, so scripting it will be, I guess! :twisted:
