Finally we have arcs that work!

For over a month this has been a problem where on 3D projections, arcs are turned into partial ellipses but were being incorrectly drawn. Attempts to diagnose the problem were unproductive - see the forum topic

There a sudden moments that make you realise that perhaps there is an easier way, just like last night. I though of mimicking the previous code that generates SVG directly. Instead of creating an actual ellipse arc, an cubic arc is produced instead - see the Mozilla Docs.For Qt to render SVG it must process this, so that there must be a method for drawing these somewhere. After some searching I found a function available in qsvg/qsvghandler.cpp. This had what I desperately needed and thanks to Opensource is possible.

Literally copy and pasting the relevant code - later will be re factored to be simplified if possible, this morning I got it working and produced the results I was craving!

This accomplishment crowns the ending of my Easter Vacation. I return to University tomorrow.

The couple of bigs tasks remaining are growing smaller. Ideally, I need the drawing to update automatically by itself, but changes don't propagate into non-3d views. Also we need working templates - looked at by Joshua.

The other is re-doing the export code - we get .svg and .pdf free with QGraphicsView, but .dxf.One thing I am going to enquire is an export to librecad. dxf sounds like the devil, so I think promoting an open format would go well.

The remainder should be smaller jobs that other people could get involved with. By then I hope I could get this be ready for testing by mid-summer.
