 643 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow Zooming mode of operation Closed
100%
Task Description

I just realized, that Zoom-in and Zoom-out (with the mousewheel) works different from graphical editors I know (as soon as drawing is larger than full screen).

Graphical editor (PSP X2 (and other too I think)):
Will make the position of the cursor the center of the drawing area. Thus allowing very fast to reposition the viewable area without changing into a move mode (Hand icon) and without the rulers on the left or down of the drawing area. The reposition is very handsome!
But this solution is only half way practical: If you use the wheel twice to zoom twice in sequence without moving the cursor, it will reposition the image twice - this double reposition is not practical at all, as the second reposition is rather random!

QCAD:
Lets the center unchanged and just zooms-in or Zooms-out.
.

My proposal:
- Zoom-in or Zoom-out around the current position of the cursor
- move this current position to the center of the screen
- move the cursor itself to the center of the screen (thus avoiding to shift the image again with a subsequent zoom-operation

  1. if the user uses a second zoom-op the new center remains mostly fixed. This would allow best of both solutions:
  2. but the user is free to make an other area of the drawing the new center if he actively moves the cursor again.

I think this would be very simple, intuitive and efficient to handle, reducing the need to reposition the drawing manually a lot.

Actually I think earlier version of graphical editors I used worked with were implemented that way.

Caveat:
I’m not an extensive CAD user. Maybe there are special requests for this type of work that are in contradiction to my idea. Maybe it would be practical to activate this type of zooming when used along with <ALT>. Hmmm - no: Allow original QCAD-zooming with <ALT>!

.

By the way:
Mouse right-click seems never assigned in QCAD. In Windows a user usually expects ‘Properties’ to be activated with right-click. But I think with the clever way you implemented this, there is no real need to change this. As the standard is already broken: Why not assign permanently a ‘Move’ (Hand icon) to ‘right-click’...

 1764 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow Zoom in with middle click Closed
100%
1 Task Description

I would suggest adding a feature Inkscape has, which is that a single middle click zooms in. This is not at the detriment of panning, since the mouse/pen (I use a Wacom tablet) doesn’t move. Right now middle click doesn’t do anything so I don’t think it should be a problem.

Another awesome and related Inkscape zooming feature is that Shift+middle click shifts to window zooming. But with the added bonus that you don’t lose the tool you’re in. Try it out on Inkscape if I’m not clear!

Cheers,
JFL

 1022 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow ZeroLengthDetection fails on arc Closed
100%
Task Description

Hi,

it seems zero length detection fails on finding very small arcs.
As in previous 3.0.0 release the script ZeroLengthDetection.js was given, I found that the related line is #65 :

      } else if (isArcEntity(entity)) {
          if (entity.getRadius() <= this.distanceTolerance

should be

      } else if (isArcEntity(entity)) {
          if (entity.getLength() <= this.distanceTolerance

because a big radius with a very small angle will yield a very small arc length ...

Since 3.0.0 or so, the ZeroLengthDetection.js script seems to have been binarized in plugins/libqcadproscripts.so, and is not easily correctible any more ...

 1011 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Y,R Works only some of the time! Closed
100%
Task Description

On a 2011 MacBook Air, the Y,R key combination for deleting layers barely works. It does in fact delete a layer occasionally, and oddly it appears to go in spurts. But it does not consistently work which significantly reduces its usefulness.

While on the matter, the reason to use YR is mostly because there is no bulk way to select a bunch of layers and delete them! This is a real pain if needing to separate layers apart (becomes some CAM programs will only accept one layer per file. We need a way to select a bunch of layers, and just delete the whole lot at one time.

 2064 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow XLines in blocks appear shortened Closed
100%
Task Description

Coming from https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=7148 ...

I create help lines of infinite length inside a block, layer is “helplines”, red, 0,25mm, DOT(2x). Inside the block I can see the lines at any zoom level. Leaving the block editor, the lines are getting shorter when zooming closer. Zooming far away the lines look like infinite length, zooming closer, the lines look like cut shorter, and zooming very close, the lines disappear completely.

As Husky confirmed:

Infinitive lines in blocks are displayed shortened in Model_Space. I would consider that a bug which pertains the QCAD Pro version too.

Hi!
I created a document at home with QCAD and added text in Russian language. The OS is OpenSuse 42.1. Now I need to edit the document at work on Windows 7 and I can’t open the document because an error appear!
I think this happend because Linux version of QCAD has put text to the document in UTF-8 in style of: 04_\U+00CD\U+00EE\U+00EC\U+00E5\U+00F0\U+00D3\U+00F7\U+00E0\U+00F1\U+00F2\U+00EA\U+00E0
but in Windows 7 codepage is Windows-1251. So I need to change QCAD to anothe software to exclude this issue because I can’t to work. QCAD error looks like: Can’t open the file.....import error!
I supposed that common software ensured me from different errors and troubles, but actually not!

Can you solve the problem?

 1716 TranslationBug ReportLow Wrong plural forms in translations Closed
100%
1 Task Description

I found that words which has plural forms are translated in manner where only two forms are possible - like in English language. For example: “Object” and “Objects”. But other languages (for example Polish) very often have more than 2 plural forms.
There are also strings which use only one form (for example: “Reset label position of %1 dimension(s).”) but cardinal number placed in string point on more forms than one.
All these strings looks bad when translated and sometimes even in English. I mark most of them using comments:

 886 BookBug ReportLow Wrong coordinates in the Orthographic Projections hands ...Closed

Task Description

I have the book dating about a year back, with the following metadata (no other version information in there):

Producer:       FPDF 1.7
CreationDate:   Fri Aug 24 15:10:36 2012

I believe there is a slight error in the Orthographic Projections hands-on (it may not be there in current versions of the book, but since my download timeframe is long over, I can not check that – should that be the case, sorry for the noise).

On page 219, step 1 of the exercise (drawing the front view), it is said

Set the first corner of the rectangle at the origin of the drawing (1)
and the other corner at 30,20 (2).

On pages 225-226, steps 7 and 8, drawing a 45-degree auxiliary line for the right-side view, it is said

Set the position of the line at the origin of the drawing (coordinate 0/0).

0/0 is the “bottom left” corner of the top view. The correct coordinates for the auxiliary line’s position are 0/30, the “bottom left” corner of the front view.

(I had not realized the bug tracker had a Book category as well – hence this is a duplicate of an e-mail report I have sent to info@.)

I only noticed today (perhaps they were available earlier?) that there are 64 bit binaries for windows; I suppose these are true 64 bit.

Yet, the installer prompts me to put them into “Programs (x86)”, where all the 32bit software lives, I guess - this seems to be a pure convention though, the application runs just fine.

Maybe the reason is, that the 32bit version was installed before; Maybe it should change? Maybe it should stay, so that there are not two?

100%
Task Description

This problem experienced since the first beta in both Win and Linux versions.

When a function (like a line) was selected for use and one press ESC twive to get back tot he main menu, it sort of does not cancel that last function. If one wouls now press on another function (like edit or circle) QCAD goes back to the line function.

the only way to rectify this is to press Esc many times. Sometimes the process needs to be repeated more than once.

I could not yet devise a sure fire way of reproducing this, but it does seems to happen as soon as the drawing gets bigger. I could not make it work with a clean page.

Although not crippling, it does break the elegance of drawing seamlessly and is a bit frustrating..

That said, I find QCAD 3.0.0 now significanlty faster than the Betas when loading and zooming in and out.

 1892 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow weird/inconsistent text-alignment Closed
100%
Task Description

I guess I’ve discovered a bug:

Text elements align the same no matter if “base” or “bottom” alignment is chosen. The text is “shifting” (in both cases) when the characteristic “contains glyphs that cross the base line” is changed. Same shifting also occurs with text aligned “top” with having no glyphs reaching the top-line.
I assume this isn’t the intended behaviour ...

For demonstration I attached a file where I’ve put lines (to align with) and three sample texts “as” (only “center”-glyphs), “aps” (glyph crossing base-line) and “this” (glyphs reaching top-line), each aligned with all vertical alignment-options (1-top, 2-midlle , 3-base , 4-bottom).

Hope fixing this dosen’t take too much effort.

Volker
