architectural dimensions

Hi, is it possible in the near future to have architetural lines instead of the mechanical arrows?
It REEALLY would be great!!!

Hi Claus82

Do you mean like "Architectural Ticks" ?

add a feature request here:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=342582&atid=1433847

Like this ?

I feel we can implement this.

I feel I should merge the "Help layer" feature to master first. Too little development time available to keep more than one feature implementation branch.

Yes of course, you are right we all have valuable time that we need to prioritize. I`m sure this will be implemented in time.If I had the skills I would gladly help out with the "developing & programming" but I have never done any thing like this at all and wouldn`t know where to start with it.

My skills lie in using/training CAD and so am happy to help out where I can!

Although I must admit I would love to learn a bit about how to program and write simple code/scripts or whatever you call it!

Sure, we need help from contributors in all fields:

Writing wiki, user manual, translation;
help building our part library;
sharing bueatiful screen shots;
reporting bugs, testing bug fixes;
improving our web pages.

Any help is never too little and means a lot for our large group of users!

Thanks for your comments -I am waiting for Ries to sort out the Wiki so I can have an account on it.

implemented in master branch:

commit: 22a0bac..b58830b

Ok - so how do I now sign up for wiki account?

Currently I am waiting for a DB dump and filedump of the current wiki hosted by somebody else.

Ries -thanks.

I got slightly confused with dxli`s post (implemented). I thought it was referring to the wiki! It was for the Architectural "ticks" I think!

To be clear,

Ok - so the DB dump/file dump you are waiting for will be for the "Media" wiki -yes?

sure, I mean the feature of dimension tick. Have a look at this news blog:

Thats really great  -the "Architectural Ticks" will be very useful for people. I am amazed at how fast you guys get things done, but dont get too tired.

OK, sorry, it's been a while...
@ Cave: yes this is what i meant!
Anyway I'm gonna post 2 images to suggest what could be nice to find in dimension section of "Drawing Preferences"





What do you think about this?

see ya!

Yes claus82 I like the idea of "customizable fonts" and the "fixed" extension lines. I`m sure the guys can implement this for a future release.

@ Cave:

MISSION COMPLETED!!!
Even if honestly I wrote down all the ideas that I have in order to have a very reliable program!

I have installed just for this feature the LibreCAD Master version, SCM 2.0.0alpha, Compiled on Oct 8 2012, but can't figure out how can I change the arrows to '/' or '.'?

My system is Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, and the LibreCAD is installed first using Ubuntu repository, and after that by running the commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:librecad-dev/librecad-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Any advices will be appreciated!
