Task Description

Andrew,

When we explode a non-uniform scaled block with arcs, the returned ellipses do not inherent the general properties of the block like other entities do.
They are exploded use the default properties that we can alter in the PEN toolbar for example.

100%
Task Description

There are not a lot of waterjet resources so I went ahead an tried to modify mygcode.js.

The issue is that plunge rate is entered in the tool and that shows up in the toolpath. The water jet wants to see that number to determine how long it holds in place to pierce the work. It needs it to be displayed as a prefix “S” followed by time in seconds and finally a period. I had been just hard coding a 2 second default time as I only cut glass but recently found some circumstance where I need different vaules. It is also more user friendly to get it to work correctly.

 	[// variables: Change Plunge Rate prefix from F to S
   	 //                   			 name,                  ID,                     always, prefix, decimals, options
		this.registerVariable("plungeRate",          "FP",                   true, "S", 0);

It needs to show up in the header as M1407 = [FP] which the water jet uses as a default pierce time after forced stop. In this instance it looks like M1407 = S2. This is working in the code currently.

For each remaining toolpath the Waterjet needs a pierce time.

M3
M8
G [FP].

And this is were it falls apart. I have red lined the gcode in a word document highlighting the first few problem instances. The first instance displays the value for Feed Rate and not Plunge Rate.

<CODE>: SELECT ALL

M3
M8
G4 S240.  Wrong value, should be as above "S2." but instead it grabbed the feed rate value from toolpath 1 "240"

 2454 QCAD (main)Bug ReportMedium inserted jpegs will not 'go to back' properly Closed
100%
Task Description

Hi

Long time no see - so long that I’ve had to reregister. I must be getting a bit better (though I only do pretty basic stuff).

I often have to trace an actual paper drawing, so I scan it in as a jpeg and insert in the usual way. For a while now, this has become difficult to do because however often I send the image to back or bring the polyline to the front, just moving my mouse over the photo (not selecting it) makes the line disappear and I’ve got a bit fed up with trying to work around this (I don’t think it was always like this?)

I’ve attached my current example (there’s only a single image in it at the moment), and thank you in advance for your patience and help.

 2451 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Explode (XP) > Explodes hatches in non-uniform scaled b ...Closed
100%
1 Task Description

Andrew,

Hatches in uniform scaled blocks explode perfect among other entities, even a hatch pattern is scaled.
Hatches in non-uniform scaled blocks are exploded as not scaled.

One could scale the hatch boundaries non-uniform.
For solid hatches the pattern scale doesn’t matter.
For patterned hatches the pattern scale and angle is more problematic.
But why not explode it as is, the pattern is transformed as expected for the non-uniform scaled block reference.

Or one doesn’t transform the pattern at all but then the the non-uniform scaled block reference isn’t displayed correctly.

CVH

100%
1 Task Description

Andrew,

Seems to be a copy/paste but never re-edited kind of mistake.

Quick fix:
https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/scripts/Misc/MiscInformation/InfoCentroids/InfoAreaCentroid/InfoAreaCentroid.js#L1320 line 1320 should read:
return [centerPoint.x, centerPoint.y, centerPoint, radius*radius * Math.PI];

line 1318 was intended to replace the ‘area’ portion of line 1320 literally.
As is, the code in this line makes no sense and line 1318 should be removed.

Still have to investigate if the area of a full 360° arc sector/segment should be signed ...
... and if RS.AngleTolerance is required when comparing.

 2444 QCAD Community EditionBug ReportMedium Entering letters with diacritics on MacOS in the QCAD T ...Closed
100%
Task Description

In order to type a diacritical letter (e.g. with ' (é) or " (ö)), MacOS does not repeat the letter when a key is pressed continuously. Instead a dialog appears which allows the user to select one of the diacritics related to the letter of the key pressed. In QCAD and presumably QT, keeping the key pressed starts typing the letter repeatedly while after the first letter is typed the selector for the diacritical letters appears. So you can still the select e.g. the ü but you have to delete all the u’s that were typed before you were able to release the key.

A stop gap measure is to minimise the ‘key repeat delay’ setting in keyboard preferences so that its easier to stop the repetition in time, but that influences other programs as well.

I suppose this is a QT dependency and hase less to do with QCAD. Still, I wanted to let you know.

Its an ‘acceptable’ nuisance :-)

 2443 QCAD (main)Bug ReportVery Low Modify > ‘Draw Order’ sub-menu missing Closed
100%
1 Task Description

Andrew,

I don’t seem to be able to locate the ‘Draw Order’ sub-menu of the Modify menu.
Reported version 3.27.6 and 3.27.8 (I use them side by side)
Tested on Win7 32 bit and Win10 64 bit.

I am aware that MF & MB were relocated out of the Modify menu.
Two additional PRO tools were added and all four were listed in a sub-menu.
(MO: version 3.21.3; MC: information missing in changelog)

MF, MB, MO and MC are displayed in the Modify Toolbar, in the Modification Tools panel and in the Tool Matrix.
This is even more curious because DrawOrder.init() only initiates DrawOrder.getMenu();
All three DrawOrder.getToolBar() & DrawOrder.getCadToolBarPanel() & DrawOrder.getToolMatrixPanel() are ruled out.

DrawOrder.getCadToolBarPanel() lists WJ as shortcut QKeySequence but that will bring up the Projections Tool Panel.

In the QCAD Reference Manual (menu Help > Reference Manual) the ‘Draw Order’ icon list is only the Modifying Tools icon.
For all four the tools the manual list up: Menu: Modify > Draw Order > ...

Under App.Prefs. > General > Tool Settings MF and MB are listed but not in a sub-menu like for example “Detection“.
Seemingly under Modify but they remain visible when Modify is collapsed.
MC and MO are listed lower than Help when this is collapsed.

I thought I understood how to implement menus and tools.
All this makes me doubt whether I had understood it in its entirety.
Could you elaborate in a few words why the menu fails but the Toolbar and Panels work even when these are excluded ...

 2424 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow File/Folder selection dialogs are broken under KDE Closed
100%
Task Description

I run KDE Plasma (KWin window manager) on Gentoo Linux.

I have tested with several different builds of QCAD 3.27.8:

If I use Open, Save As, and anything else that selects a file or a folder, the dialog does not show any contents, and the terminal prints an error:

Warning:  couldn't create slave: "Unknown protocol 'file'."

Some of the dialogs behave better by deselecting:
Application Prefs > File: Open/Save > File Dialog > Use system file dialog

So, looking through the code, I noticed that there is already KDE-specific handling to avoid using the system dialog, but it has probably been broken since switching to QT5, because Q_WS_X11 (and all other Q_WS_* global macros) no longer exist with QT5+.

I’ve attached a patch that fixes the usage of that macro. With that patch, in my portage-built Community Edition build, I no longer have to deselect “Use system file dialog”.

But, there are at least two places that do not respect the DontUseNativeDialogs setting:

  • Application Prefs > File > Templates > Template Folders > Add
  • Application Prefs > Widgets > Library Browser > Library Sources > Add...

I found the scripts source for the Library Browser PreferencesPage.ui, but I couldn’t find the same for the Templates selection, probably because that is a Pro-only feature (right?).

For the LibraryBrowser, here is the appropriate sections of code:

So, somehow this line needs to change to use the DontUseNativeDialogs setting, but I’m not sure how to do that (I don’t have much experience with QT development).

var dir = QFileDialog.getExistingDirectory(this, fileDlgTitle);

Assuming that Template Folders preference also uses the DirectoryList widget, fixing this should fix that pref pane as well.

 2419 dwg2csvBug ReportLow dwg2csv quote handling Closed
100%
1 Task Description

When a text string contains a double quote(”) character, the value is not quoted.
If the text string contains a comma, the value is quoted (using double quotes).

When a text string starts with a double quote, it is unclear which of the above two states is correct, making for difficult parsing. (Excel seems to assume the second state when possible)

It would make parsing much easier if the output csv followed the format provided in rfc4180, namely that

If fields are not enclosed with double quotes, then double quotes may not appear inside the fields

If double-quotes are used to enclose fields, then a double-quote appearing inside a field must be escaped by preceding it with another double quote

For a proper measurement with IP I need to use Autosnap etc. but that means I have to switch from Coordinate snap to an other snap with no way to return to use the d1 variable.

 2412 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Request for option Closed
100%
Task Description

For what I use QCad for it would be extremely helpful - and likely quite simple to implement - to have an option to display values (e.g. measurements of position and length) in inches only instead of feet and inches. I suppose if I were working in metric units the same idea would apply to centimetres only instead of metres + centimetres. Consider you have a line segment whose x-position is 3’ 11 17/32” and you need to move it by 2’ 7 13/64”. The math would just be a lot simpler if the “feet” measure were in inches - so 47 17/32” and 31 13/64”.

100%
1 Task Description

Andrew,

In “Loop not closed at point 120.079/259.997.” we can not use the coordinate as such.
With my preferences I would need 120,079;259,997 as a valid coordinate to enter in the command line.
I do this ‘translation’ in between in Notepad.

Not that personally my boundaries are frequently off ;-)

Reported by <OttoZ> in:
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=89&p=38836#p38829
‘Die Koordinaten lassen sich nicht kopieren, sonst könnte man zur Fehlstelle springen.’

In all cases the “/” is not a valid Cartesian coordinate separator.
The dot at the end of the sentence is also not so common in QCAD.

CVH

1 Task Description

Andrew,

When selecting a Hatch entity:
For a solid filled Hatch the boundaries total length is given.
With a pattern that returns the summed length of the patterned lines.

I think that the recent performance update for RHatchData::getLength returns something different than intended.

 2407 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow App stalling for Trace Bitmap with no image in selectio ...Closed
100%
Task Description

Andrew,

Trace Bitmap requires a selection.
QCAD stalls when the first entity id is not an RImageEntity .

The prevImageEntity.getFileName() in the beginEvent will throw an exception for all but an RImageEntity.

The odds are against us that in a multiple selection an image is the first id.

I think you need to filter on image entities like later in the applyOperation function.

Regards,
CVH
