distance point to point precision

ravas
I'm interested in using this program for geometric construction / exploration.
What I need is for the 'distance point to point' tool to produce at least 8 numbers
to the right of the decimal point. Is this currently possible?
Also, is there a way to access this tool via the command line?

Thank you! :-]

The distance (point - point) is not using existing unit/precision framework.

I am going to fix this, so the distance is by precision set in "Edit->Current Drawing Preferences->Units"

fixed by commit: https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/commit/2e6aa9fb4735be545bccccad7a561f4c58fdb53c

in the current git HEAD, all actions under main menu "Info" should be using "Edit->Current Drawing Preferences->Units" precision and formats.

Now for "point to point", it could read like:

Distance: 114.01754251 Cartesian: (70.00000000 , 90.00000000), Polar: (114.01754251<52° 7' 30.059" )

Thank you! I have downloaded Qt and unzipped boost (C:\boost\boost_1_57_0).
When I load Qt Creator and try to open librecad.pro it says:

Could not find qmake configuration file default.
Error while parsing file C:/1B/LibreCAD-2e6aa9fb4735be545bccccad7a561f4c58fdb53c/librecad.pro. Giving up.

I needed to configure the project.
New problem:
Can not find Boost installation in /boost/boost_1_53_0

I'm using windows 7, btw.

Re: distance point to point precision

Sigh... I think I need to compile boost or something?
Running bootstrap gives:

'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Failed to build Boost.Build engine.

---

My research indicates I might need visual studio for cl.exe.
I think installing an 11gb program is above and beyond what I'm willing to do to get this compiled.
I'll wait for the next .exe release of LibreCad.

you can follow our wiki for win32 building.

http://wiki.librecad.org/index.php/LibreCAD_Installation_from_Source#Building_LibreCAD_2.0_on_Windows

you will need boost, nsis, git, and qt, but you dont have to build boost.

also, it is easier in linux or osx

Re: distance point to point precision

I already downloaded Qt (5.4) with the online installer... does it matter?
I downloaded boost 1_53 and updated custom.pro
I unchecked shadow build.
I could not find this in Qt 5.4:
"Select librecad as building target in Qt Creator (instead of tff2lff, which is another choice)"

With build configuration set to 'release',
I tried once with 'build project librecad' and once with 'build all'
with I think the same result each time:

Please follow the instructions for command line, instead of qt-creator:

My knowledge of Windows is highly outdated!

But from the below it looks like you don't have a path to the qmake.exe and mingw32-make.exe executables.

The last problem was because I ran cmd.exe instead of "Qt 5.4 for desktop".

Re: distance point to point precision

Just FYI, these appeared at the end of the build:
2 warnings:
  !include: could not find: "custom.nsh" (nsis-5.4.nsi:6)
  File: "C:\Qt\Qt5.4.0\5.4\mingw491_32\translations\qt*.qm" -> no files found. (nsis-5.4.nsi:122)
---

Is there a command line command for the distance (point to point) tool?

 !include: could not find: "custom.nsh" (nsis-5.4.nsi:6)

is explained by the fact I never created that file ;-].

It's really a miracle it compiled the last time.
I just found out today I needed to:
press windows-key
type qt
open 'QT 5.4 for desktop'

instead of opening the command line normally.

The last time it worked only because I had used QT creator to build beforehand.
Considering that part failed with errors, I say it was a miracle... ;-]

we just merged a new feature designed by developer dinkel(Christian Luginbühl). This new feature requires libxml++ to build.

Need some help to get LibreCAD to build in win32, after this merge.

I just modified the rs_vector file for the ellipse tool fix,

What kind of help? Writting c++?

no. Just to figure out how to compile it with libxml++, similar way to what we described for boost and muparser in:
