FiberQ v1.2.0 released — free QGIS plugin for fiber network design, now with undo, auto-increment IDs, and quick toolbar
Hey everyone, just released v1.2 of FiberQ — an open-source QGIS plugin for designing FTTH/GPON/FTTx networks.
This release is all about cutting down repetitive clicks. If you've ever placed 50 manholes one by one and had to retype the ID each time, this one's for you.
**What's new in v1.2:**
- **Manhole ID Auto-Increment** — type "MH 001", check auto-increment, and each click places the next number. Handles zero-padding and skips existing IDs.
- **Undo System** — FiberQ now has its own undo/redo (Ctrl+Shift+Z / Y) that actually works across all plugin layers. QGIS's built-in Ctrl+Z doesn't always play nice with plugin-created features, so we built our own stack.
- **Repeat Last Command** — double-tap Space to re-activate the last tool you used. Status bar shows what will repeat. Manhole repeat even skips the dialog and continues the ID counter.
- **Quick Toolbar** — a second compact toolbar with the 10 most-used tools (poles, manholes, routes, cables, ODF, OTB, TO, slack, undo). Optional keyboard shortcuts (P, M, R, A, U, O, T, S) you can turn on in settings.
Fully backward compatible with v1.0/v1.1 projects. Works on QGIS 3.22 through 3.40+.
In this tutorial we’ll design a full technical duct network in FiberQ inside QGIS — starting from civil infrastructure like routes and manholes, then adding ducts and transition ducts, placing joint closures, assigning devices like splitters, laying underground cables with slack, and finally generating an optical schematic view and a BOM report.
FiberQ v1.1 is ready for official update (around February 1st)
This update is mainly an internal upgrade focused on maintainability, stability, and backward compatibility with few new features in this version.
What I changed so far:
1. Refactored the monolithic plugin file (main_plugin.py) into a modular architecture (separate managers for cables, routes, pipes, drawings, slacks, etc.)
2. Extracted UI components, dialogs, and map tools into dedicated modules
3. Added consistent logging
4. Renamed 467 identifiers from Serbian to English (layers, fields, UI labels) while keeping old projects working
5. Bug fixes (9 issues closed):
Cable labels showing wrong length
Slack tools issues
Cable type display
Image/drawing linking
Optical schematic view pan issues
Various translation/alias problems
Next week I’m starting to add new features on top of this cleaner base, and after that the new v1.1 will be avalible for update in QGIS Repo.
If you want to follow what new features will be added, detail report what and how i changed the FiberQ v1.1 you can follow that on GitHub:

Hi everyone,
Today I will upload a new tutorial for FiberQ.
Title:
FiberQ Designer (QGIS) — Technical Duct Network Design: Manholes, Ducts, Cables, Splices, Schematic & BOM
In this tutorial we’ll design a full technical duct network in FiberQ inside QGIS — starting from civil infrastructure like routes and manholes, then adding ducts and transition ducts, placing joint closures, assigning devices like splitters, laying underground cables with slack, and finally generating an optical schematic view and a BOM report.

FiberQ Roadmap Update — v1.1 & v1.2 (and what’s coming in v1.3+)
I’m sharing the official roadmap for FiberQ v1.1 and v1.2 — focused on making fiber network design in QGIS faster, cleaner, and more scalable.
- FiberQ v1.1 — Core Platform + UX Upgrade
This release is all about structure, speed, and daily workflow improvements:
1. Refactor: split main_plugin.py into smaller, maintainable modules
2. Codebase cleanup: translate comments/classes/methods from Serbian → English
3. Attach devices to any element (splitters, routers, etc.)
4. One main “Elements” layer + sublayers (ODF, TB, OTB, JC, etc.) + catalog
5. FTTH cable auto-offsets (consistent spacing for multiple cables on the same route)
6. Quick / Floating Toolbar for faster placement of key tools & elements
7. Layer priority / ordering: keep projects readable by auto-sorting layers like:
Poles/Manholes → Elements → Routes → Cables → Pipes → Slacks → Objects → Areas
- FiberQ v1.2 — Network Logic + Fiber Visibility
Next version will focus on “what’s inside the cables” and how fibers connect end-to-end:
1. Fiber Splicing Manager
2. Optical Fiber Diagram / Schematic generator & viewer (for connected fiber paths)
- v1.3+ (Later)
There are more ideas on the table (e.g., building mode / riser workflows, deeper validation, etc.), but they’ll be considered after v1.1 and v1.2 are delivered.
FiberQ is open-source and community-driven — feedback and suggestions are always welcome.
