Command Line Tools under macOS

[andrew]

Under Mac OS X, applications are bundled into so called Application Bundles. In the case of QCAD Professional, the application bundle is called "QCAD-Pro.app".

The command line tools of QCAD are located inside the application bundle under "Contents/Resources".

If you have installed QCAD Professional into your application folder, you can start the QCAD command line tools or start QCAD from the command line as follows:

- Open the Terminal application
- Change into the /Application folder

Code: Select all

cd /Applications

- Change into the QCAD-Pro application bundle:

Code: Select all

cd QCAD-Pro.app/Contents/Resources

- Launch the command line tool, for example:

Code: Select all

./dwg2maptiles -o ~/Desktop/flange ./examples/flange.dxf

- Or launch QCAD:

Code: Select all

./qcad
