Bug fix release
https://github.com/zamtmn/zcad/releases/tag/0.9.10.0

Fixed a localization issue and a few more minor ones problems

Very nice. Please check:
1、Chinese Fonts Garbled code
2、Missing fill details

[zamtmn]

Unfortunately, there is currently no support for curved contours (circles, ellipses, arcs, splines). Hatching works correctly only in contours made of straight lines. The solution to this issue is difficult((

There is also no support for internal formatting of the autocad text. Try to remove formatting and tell zcad where to look for fonts

New release
https://github.com/zamtmn/zcad/releases/tag/0.9.11.0

- Dark theme for windows
- "extdrSmartTextEnt" extender for text entities inside devices
- A few fixes and as usual a lot of new bugs))

Linux binaries are also included. Building zcad from sources still causes many problems for those interested

Hi!
It became possible to draw electrical diagrams, or others where you need to get information about what is connected to what. Of course, it was possible to draw earlier, but there was no information about the connections

Hello,

i have installed the sources but i have a problem to comile the project.
It look's that the installation goes wrong.

This is the Output from the console:

When i try to compile it in the IDE ksome include files are not found.
{$INCLUDE buildmode.inc}

//if missing see https://github.com/zamtmn/zcad/blob/master/BUILD_FROM_SOURCES.md
In that document i can not find a solution.

Have you any idea?

Thank you and BR
Rainer

Please delete environment/runtimefiles/zcadelectrotech/preload/xlsxtemplates folder

One of the developers added a file with cyrillic in the name, I'll ask he to fix it. The temporary solution is to delete these files, it will not interfere with the work

Update:
Fixed, just git pull

Great job!

A friend and I we are doing a CAD in Gambas3, now starting to port it to Lazarus FPC. Maybe we can join forces!

[zamtmn]

Thanks! I'm for it

[veb86]

Maybe we can join forces!

ZCAD is a very large project that allows you to solve complex design problems. Now ZCAD has partially implemented BIM design ideas, which improves the quality of the product. ZCAD works stably and at high speed.
It would be very cool to join forces to create a cross-platform CAD/BIM program with open source code.

[zamtmn]

In fact, if you count by the number of lines, this is a small project, only ~160 thousand lines, excluding packages. ZCAD is very lacking in basic editing tools, I have not been able to do anything in this direction for many years((
