DESCRIPTION

12       QCAD  is  a  free,  open source application for Computer Aided Drafting
13       (CAD) in two dimensions (2D). With QCAD you can create, study and alter
14       technical  drawings  such as plans for buildings, interiors, mechanical
15       parts or schematics and diagrams.  QCAD builds upon the Drawing  Inter‐
16       change  File Format. Such DXF-files are used by many other professional
17       CAD-systems.
18
19       QCAD works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. The source code of  QCAD  is
20       released  under  the  GPL  version  3  (GPLv3),  a  popular Open Source
21       license.

OPTIONS

24       -help  Displays this help.
25
26       -version
27              Displays the application version.
28
29       -config path
30              Reads and stores settings to QCAD3.ini  at  the  given  location
31              instead of the default location.
32
33       -locale locale
34              Sets  the  locale  to be used (overrides the language set in the
35              preferences).  E.g. '-locale de' starts QCAD in German.
36
37       -filter filter
38              Opens the subsequent file(s) with the  explicitly  given  import
39              filter.
40
41       -allow-multiple-instances
42              Don't  try  to  avoid multiple instances from running simultane‐
43              ously.
44
45       -app-id ID
46              Set application ID. Multiple instances of the  same  application
47              (same  ID)  cannot  run  simultaneously  unless -allow-multiple-
48              instances is used.
49
50       -rescan
51              Rescan scripts folder for new add-ons
52
53       -always-load-scripts
54              Forces reloading of scripts when they are used.  This is  mainly
55              useful  during  script  development,  to  apply  changes without
56              restarting QCAD.
57
58       -enable-script-debugger
59              Enables the script debugger.  NOT recommended as this may  cause
60              unexpected behavior when using QCAD.
61
62       -debug-action-order
63              Print action order information in menus
64
65       -autostart script-file
66              Starts   the   given   script   file   instead  of  the  default
67              scripts/autostart.js. Note that with this option,  QCAD  is  not
68              started  but  rather  the  application  implemented in the given
69              script.
70
71       -exec script-file [ options ]
72              Executes the given script file  directly  after  starting  QCAD.
73              Options after the script file are passed on to the script.
74

76              Loads the specified CSS file.
77
78       -no-gui
79              Don't use GUI. X11: don't connect to X11 server.
80
81       -no-show
82              Use but don't display GUI.
