QT C++ code samples

Slowly but surely i am beginning to hate QT, everything i have touched with it comes back with a plethora of very cryptic errors. Not good at all.

I feel the same Tom, the more I see of QT the less I like it.

Unfortunately it looks like the way everything is heading.

Download and unpack the zip file, the executable is named : Cad--x86_64.AppImage (p.s. must be marked as executable, but i think it is already)

CadCam program

Yes, that worked.
It looks good but there is a bit of strange behaviour shown in the video linked to below.
This is on a Stretch virtual machine in VMware Fusion on a Mac. I will try later today on a real machine.

Hi all, thanks for this test phase so far.
I got a solution !! It's called "deployement" It writes all files, dependencies, libraries etc into one file as an image..

I have tried it using 2.9 I think you said that it has limited things that work. I drew a few shapes but the snap to end of line etc did not work for me. but it was quite responsive. Not like Phills Vid.

But I am no programmer.

It works!
Well what works works, the rest does not, but it is usable and it is fast.

Well my issue seems confined to my Mac with a retina screen, the workshop Mac with a standard screen runs it fine in a VM and it runs fine on a real machine.

Everything that is there seems to work, it certainly is fast and it produces gcode.

I didn't see the issue Clive had, all the snapping worked

I am impressed, great work...

@Phill,

The y-axis mouse cad coordinates are responding in line with the mouse movement. It's like the opengl screen is inverted on the y-axis.
Could this be a VMware related thing?

@Clive,

In the left lower corner of the screen, you see shapes with red dot's.
If you activate them, you got from top to bottom :

-endpoint snap
-midpoint snap
-perpendicular snap
-nearest snap
-line-line intersection snap
-circle midpoint snap
-snap inline to circle
-snap various points on circle

P.s. i preferr you save and load your drawings in .gro format

@Tommy,

Nice to see it works..

You can load and cut a dxf file. But without splines or ellipse at the moment.
Will draw a .gro file as example, you can load it by file input.


If you draw a line, you can insert a line lenght. If you type 500 + enter. The line is 500mm long.
This works just like draftsight. The line goes where the preview is.
Key F8 is ortho toggle. (straight line horizontal / vertical..)
Cntrl+Z is one step back

I know the software is not finished. But it's already usefull for some people. That's the only reason i published it already.

@Phill,
I am impressed, great work...

Thanks !! Programming goes better every day. So programs can only improve !!
