QCAD Bugtracker

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!

When I try to make a tangential snap of an existing line to a circle by moving one line end to the circle, qcad snaps to a wrong snap point on the circle.

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:

I believe problem can be fixed using plural form strings: https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Plural-forms.html

Whilst using qcad professional today, I have lost hours waiting for the to start working, as it keeps crashing with every command/drawing a line/editing a shape.

Hopefully you can look in to this and advice?

Can you update addSimpleText() as Text.Width is fixed =100

What is the noTextWidth value?

As far as I can detect ...
PrintPreviewImplPro.prototype.addDecorations uses value 1.
CrankWheel.js uses value 1.
ExText.prototype.beginEvent uses value 2.
ExDrawFonts.prototype.beginEvent uses value 1.
Counter.prototype.getOperation uses QCAD.ini or default zero.
TextAlong.prototype.getTextData usses the width of the textData from the dialog.

After Update to RC5 there are NO icons displayed

DWG archive opened by QCAD (15.X/16.X - Linux mint 18.1 and Windows 10) does not show traits that represent project windows, when the same file is opened by the dwg True view they appear, follows archive for evaluation.

The order layers are listed in dropdown boxes is different as how there are presented in the Layer List Widget.
Uniformity can shorten lookup time drastically with a large number of layers / sublayers.

add “update required file” to the context menu shown in the result window

1. copy the actual file to the directory “required”
2. run the test again
3. test result should be “passed” now

Hello,

I’m unsing a two display environment and got all Tools and Widgets placed on the second display.
See qcad1.png

There are two problems:

1.) When I open another application on second display, three toolboxes stay on top, the others are behind new application.
See qcad2.png

2.) When I minimize Qcad only the mainwindow will be minimuzed, all the toolboxes and widgets stay on second display also with problem 1.
See qcad3.png

Whould be great, when this issues will be fixed

Thank you very much
Andreas

P.S.: Hope described well, if not, please drop me a reply...

If I “Trim Both” a pair of lines which already meet, then neither line changes appearance on screen (as expected). However, after saving and reloading the file, both lines are now missing.

To reproduce:

1. Create a new drawing
2. Draw a 10×10 square
3. Save the drawing
4. Close and reopen. The square shows up as expected.
5. Use the Trim Both tool on a pair of lines meeting at one of the corners. No change in the display.
6. Save the drawing
7. Close and reopen. The lines used in step 5. have disappeared.

If one or both of the lines changes length, either lengthened or shortened, then the changed line is preserved.

Build information:

Version: 3.4.2.0 (3.4.2)
Build Date: Oct 25 2013
Qt Version: 4.7.4
Compiler: MSVC++ 10.0 (2010)

Running on Windows 7 64-bit.

I use points in my drawing s often for referencing and construction purposes, I would like to request that in the application settings some options could be added for point styles.
For example:
Style - cross with circle or other styles useful for temporary construction referencing.
The option to set the size either relative to the screen or indeed in absolute units.

Hello,

I am stage manager and I have been using QCAD PRO nearly every day for 2 years now.
But since yesterday it seems that text is not saved within the file : when I reopen a saved file, text doesn’t show up. Do I miss a setting ?
I currently run Mac OS X Mavericks but there haven’t been any issues with this OS for months.

I deleted the app and prefs and tried out with 3.6.0 (which I don’t use because it often quits brutally), and also the free version of 3.6.4
But the issue still the same.

As I use this app for my work, it is very annoying not to be able to use text !
Thanks for your help

May relate to 646.

Control Text is Displayed on Drawing created in ACAD.
The Text is representing /p as a new line when I think it should be ignored.
See QCAD PDF I am unsure what this represents in ACAD. /pxqc;

Add support for scale transforms in SVG import.

Original report:

When importing an SVG created with Inkscape, one of the elements (rectangle) is shifted (mirrored?) to the left.
The example (back.svg) is appended. If you open it with Inkscape, you see the rectangle should be above the “USB” label.

My impression is that the sign of the X coordinate is swapped for some reason. At least if I mirror it
using two points on the Y axis, it seems to appear where it should be.

Apart from this, also the dimensions are wrong after import. In the original SVG, the outer shape is 144.3mm wide.
This is also visible in the header of the SVG:

 width="144.300mm"
 height="53.800mm"

However, after importing to QCad, the width is measured as 40.7247. This is a puzzling factor of 3.5433 which doesn’t look
like metric/imperial conversion issue but like a complete misinterpretation of the sizes/units used in the SVG.

The attached file should result in two overlapping circles, it does not, it results in a single ellipse.

The “<circle ... />” directive seems just be ignored in this case, but in other instances I have seen it result in ellipses.

And the “<ellipse ... />” directive should of course result in a circle, when rx and ry are the same.

That would ease this task:

Hi guys,

I’m trying to create an spline to a complex library component, but it seems splines are not working properly. I would appreciate some help. These are minimum scripts to demonstrate the problem:

Example 1:

include("scripts/simple.js");

function TesteSpline() {
}

TesteSpline.init = function(formWidget) {
    if (!isNull(formWidget)) {
        TesteSpline.widgets = getWidgets(formWidget);
    }
};

TesteSpline.generate = function(documentInterface, file) {
    return TesteSpline.criarCorpo(documentInterface);
};

TesteSpline.generatePreview = function(documentInterface, iconSize) {
};

TesteSpline.criarCorpo = function(documentInterface) {

    addSpline([[0,0],[20,30],[100,100],[110,120]], false); // it doesn't work :-(
    addLine(0,0, 100,100);  // it works!!!

};

Example 2:

include("scripts/library.js");

function TesteSpline() {
}

TesteSpline.init = function(formWidget) {
    if (!isNull(formWidget)) {
        TesteSpline.widgets = getWidgets(formWidget);
    }
};

TesteSpline.generate = function(documentInterface, file) {
    return TesteSpline.criarCorpo(documentInterface);
};

TesteSpline.generatePreview = function(documentInterface, iconSize) {
};

TesteSpline.criarCorpo = function(documentInterface) {
    var addOperation = new RAddObjectsOperation(false);
    var doc = documentInterface.getDocument()
    // Spline
    var cavaData = new RSplineData();
    cavaData.appendFitPoint(new RVector(0,0));
    cavaData.appendFitPoint(new RVector(10,10));
    cavaData.appendFitPoint(new RVector(30,30));
    cavaData.isClosed = false;
  
    // It doesn't work
    var cava = new RSplineEntity(doc,cavaData);
    addOperation.addObject(cava);

    // it works
    var textData = new RTextData(new RVector(2,10),new RVector(2,10),0.4,0.4,0,0,0,0,1,"Hello","Arial",false,false,0,false);
    addOperation.addObject(new RTextEntity(doc,textData));

    return addOperation;
};

The Snap “Reference” is perfect working on circles.

I would be nice to have this function also on Arc’s.
There are many necessities to attach a Horizontal or Vertical line on an arc or an “ex circle” (circle after a cut,)rounds etc. in a professional drawing.

The current startup script fails when called through symbolic link due to string:

DIR=${0%/*}

It is better to change it to:

DIR=$(dirname -- $(readlink -f -- $0))

Andrew,

simple_modify.js
function paste()
10 * \param docDestination RDocument to paste into (or undefined for current document)

A) This should be a document interface of the type RDocumentInterface.
B) The function uses the parameter diDestination and not docDestination

I have a straight polyline with several segments and want to remove some nodes. So I choose “Delete Node(s)”. Then I am asked to select the polyline. When done I can start clicking on the nodes I want to remove - IF ONLY I could see them.

Request: Would be nice if you could make the nodes of the selected polyline visible. Or don’t ask again for selecting a polyline if it was already selected before the tool was chosen.

Currently the workaround is to first select the polyline (which shows the nodes), then choose the tool, then AGAIN select the polyline and then start clicking on the nodes.
