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
cd /Applications
- Change into the QCAD-Pro application bundle:
cd QCAD-Pro.app/Contents/Resources
- Launch the command line tool, for example:
./dwg2maptiles -o ~/Desktop/flange ./examples/flange.dxf
- Or launch QCAD:
./qcad
