wandererfan wrote:Sorry to take so long to get back to you @kunda1. Here is my take on your list. As others have mentioned, there are no actual plans to retire Drawing at this time.
0143 - Allow moving of views graphically on the page
- in TD
1494 - Add the current view in the orthographic projection tool
- in TD DPG dialog
1679 - Add an action to set orthographic projections as hints for a drawing page
- TD is drag and drop. x/y aren't generally set manually
1688 - Orthographic projection uses more digits behind decimal point for scale than shown in properties
- TD uses global decimals setting
1727 - API function Drawing.projectToDXF
- TD has no projectToDXF API function. no plans for one at this time.
1822 - Scale factor property in drawing page limited to one digit (sometime two)
- TD uses global decimal setting
1863 - Global preference for drawing line width
- Line style/weight preference changes are planned (related 1920,1921)
1867 - Use QtWebKit (QWebView) instead of QtSvg for DW drawing area
- not relevant to TD
1880 - Show/hide drawing template structure
- no plans for this. is it useful for something?
1920 - Drawing scale and stroke-dasharray
1921 - Drawing view hidden lines (style) and stroke-dasharray
- Line style/weight preference changes are planned (related 1863)
2004 - Performance regression when more (empty) drawing pages inserted
- empty pages do not seem to be an issue in TD. more non-empty pages will of course slow things down.
2123 - drawing workbench - enable rotation by 3 axis
- you can set the direction of a view to anything you want. Not really applicable to TD
2184 - Drawing template filenames for ISO7200 are numbered consecutively but corresponding files do not exist
- not an issue in TD. different handling of templates.
2283 - Drawing::FeatureViewPart LineWidth should not be scaled
- line widths are not scaled in TD
2620 - Appears in both V0.16 and daily builds Drawing dxf export not working correctly
- no plans for dxf export in TD at this time
2629 - Merge Drawing_dimensioning into Drawing
- no plans to merge Drawing_dimensioning into TD. Some intention to steal good ideas.
2648 - Changing the template in the Drawing-Workbench is not saved
- works in TD
2384 - Drawing dotted lines are inconsistent
- appears to be OCC hidden line issue. resolved in 7.1
2383 - Drawing lines missing or incorrect
- resolved in OCC 7.1
2427 - hidden lines
- resolved OCC 7.1
Hope this helps.

Couple of questions:
1.
@wandererfan mentioned the above tickets. I've started to resolve some of them as you can see from the
1st post which I'm using to keep track of the work. Am I doing it right? If Drawing is not deprecated yet which issues should stay? Do we need to notate them a certain way to indicate that Drawing will be deprecated and attention is now pointed to TechDraw?

The DXF-related ones could be gathered under one big "DXF support in techdraw" issue. DXF export doesn't exist in TechDraw yet. That would be a cool feature to work on, if anybody interested

I created
issue #2882 (
DXF support in TechDraw) based on this...

Please advise.
