FS#464 - select not possible in zoom
if drawing is zoomed too much, it is impossible to select a line with a single click (workaround: use area select)

reproducible in current development
release.
"select not possible" does not mean "low severity" to me. Attached you find a screen shot in default view, where every line is selectable as expected. With little zooming (second file) NONE of the displayed lines is selectable by a single click and therefore none of the tools with two lines (e.g. trim) is working. The marked tiny line in the first view is not selectable precisely without zooming.
SelectLine_ZoomedNotPossible.... (9.6 KiB)
Information for potential workaround: Problem is caused by non-zero Z level (i.e. drawing is not 2D).
Thank you for the hint.
How can I check or reset one or all Z-levels? (sorry, couldn't find an answer with google or in FAQ or qcad-how-do-I.)
The drawing is created by someone else with ACad (file starts with AC1018 and shows the string "AutoCAD LT 2004\R9" somewhere inside), so I don't know the Z-levels.
You would have to use a 3D CAD application for that or (if you are comfortable working with a plain text editor) modify a QCAD script as described below to allow Z coordinate editing in QCAD.
Thank you very much, I will try this as soon as possible and post the result.
Confirmed, after changing to Z=0 all lines are selectable even if view is zoomed.
Is there a way to set all Z-coordinates to 0? If I select all?
Choosing "Selection: Line" does not show Z-coordinates (General and in Geometry: length and angle, nothing more).
Choosing "Selection: Block Reference" gives Z-coordinates in position and scale.
The property editor rises another question: why does the selection always change back to "All"?
Thank you very much.
maybe this would be a feature request: reset all Z-coordinates on load to 0?
the received file or the importing of it seems to have other issues, see attached screen shot with "Parse Error"
