QCAD Bugtracker

Context Menu suddenly stopped working ?

Yep, tried everything I know of, can’t get it back.

I experience long start delays. I’ve trace the problem to the fact that I have autofs automounting my home directories. However, an strace of qcad-bin shows the following:

execve("/opt/ribbonsoft/qcad/qcad-3.12.6/qcad-bin", ["/opt/ribbonsoft/qcad/qcad-3.12.6"...], [/* 87 vars */]) = 0
brk(NULL)                               = 0x1eca000
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fd6194ad000
access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK)      = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/andrew/local/qt/lib/tls/x86_64/libqcadecmaapi.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/home/andrew/local/qt/lib/tls/x86_64", 0x7fff4722f250) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/andrew/local/qt/lib/tls/libqcadecmaapi.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/home/andrew/local/qt/lib/tls", 0x7fff4722f250) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/andrew/local/qt/lib/x86_64/libqcadecmaapi.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/home/andrew/local/qt/lib/x86_64", 0x7fff4722f250) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/andrew/local/qt/lib/libqcadecmaapi.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/home/andrew/local/qt/lib", 0x7fff4722f250) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Since there is no “andrew” user here, I have to wait for automount to timeout which takes about 2m and is rather annoying.

From Context Menu - Move/Copy not working

It seems that when selection is required to use a modify tool, right clicking for context deselects - of course!

Using context Menu - Break Out Gap not working

Exception in View > Add View:

TypeError: Result of expression ‘validator.validate’ [undefined] is not a function.

Affects Qt 5 (QCAD for Windows 64bit and Mac OS X 64bit)

Selection filter should offer choices “By Layer”, “By Block” for “Color” property.

Selection by colour is not working when using Selection Filter tool.

Draw several lines, circles etc. Change colour to Yellow for example and use selection filter to selet ‘Any’ by colour Yellow - it fails for me.

Omitted attributes of line, circle, ellipse, rect should default to 0.

When the currently active layer is locked and some objects from another layer are copied and pasted, they are pasted into the locked layer.

When opening a .dxf file saved by QCAD with a name containing a special characters (tested with diacritics), it fails with the following message:

Cannot open file
'E:/tèst1.dxf'
Import failed.

How to reproduce:
1 - Save a file (content doesn’t matter, it’s the same with an empty file and a file containing data) using the name “tèst1.dxf” 2 - Try to open the file
3 - Error message

What is expected:
The file open.

Note that the problem doesn’t lie in the “save” step: the same file, once renamed to “test1.dxf” opens fine.

I just installed 3.12.5.0 (3.12.5) on a Dell Latitude E7250 (8GB RAM, i7-56000 CPU, 2.6GHz, Win 7 Pro 64 bit OS).

Started working my way through the user manual, tried to save a new file as ‘example’ and QCAD (64 bit Pro) crashed. Tried a few times with Save and Save As, empty files and a simple rectangle and it crashed every time.

Removed and re-installed the 64 bit version - same problem

Downloaded, installed 32 bit version as work around - works fine

Text with subscripts (e.g. “S\S^3;”) is display incorrectly with the latest version on both Mac OS X and windows 64-bit.

The subscript (”3”) is displayed before the normal text (”S”).

I have been using subscripts to indicate electrical switch types on my blue prints.

It appears that superscripts are also being displayed incorrectly.

• Hide action in menu, tool bar and CAD tool bar
• Key code of action is also disabled

This also affects actions which are never added to a menu, tool bar or CAD tool bar (e.g. property editor layer menu).

Texts and dimension labels not exported to SVG if text rendering is set to “Render text as text”

I just compiled from github master 10dd588243cce87eb9a7c901ebd77c70464bcb94, and discovered that the Property Editor does not display the values of the “Linetype Scale” or the “Draw Order” anymore, even though they were properly displayed in version 3.12.1.0. The gui text boxes allow the values to be edited, it seems, but the current values are still not displayed after entering new values.

Tested on Arch Linux, 64 bit.

Points move by a constant offset relative to the rest of the drawing when printing or exporting to PDF.

This is the exact same bug as  FS#1243 , which was reportedly fixed in version 3.9.7 with commit https://github.com/qcad/qcad/commit/9c9d7bbc3fd845b8475ff12a919ad8e86bbaeb1f, but has resurfaced in version 3.12.4 (and possibly earlier versions that I have not tested).

To replicate the bug, create a simple drawing with points and lines then print or export to PDF, and notice that the points have moved relative to the lines or have disappeared off of the page entirely.

Tested with Arch Linux, 64 bit; QCAD version 3.12.4 using the prebuilt binaries supplied from the qcad.org download site.

Hi !
i have find another strangeware about points.. if you set a different point style in program options, on the display the style is correct, but when you try to print or export the drawing, the points are printed as default “point” (little black circle).

Hi !
im’ trying the 3.12.4.0 base version, on linux mint x64 and i have found a problem in printing/exporting..

To replicate the bug:
Try to draw a simple form, for ex a circle, and draw a center of this circle using POINT function.

Now if you make a print preview, then CENTER the circle in the page and try to export to pdf or print, the circle and the POINT (center) are ofsetted !!

i have try to make the same operation with 3.9.5 and i have no problem !!!

Selection Filter “Any” “Color” “= (is)” “<Color>” does not work.

Qcad version is 3.12.4.1 Win64 on Windows 10

When you draw a line to a circle the offered snap points (orthogonal, tangential ...) are ok.
But if you change a line by moving an end- or startpoint qcad gives you snap points corresponding to the opposite endpoint of the line.

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.

1. Click line tools button
2. Click button to draw lines with 2 points
3. Draw line
4. Right click
5. Click back button in CAD tool bar
6. Click Circle tools button

Circle tools not shown

Missing file Qt5XmlPatterns.dll in Windows 64bit release.

When you change the content of a block attribute the changed content is placed on the active layer not on the original layer of the attribute.

Attributes are not fixed on their layer. When changing the content of an attribute the content is automatically placed on the active layer not on the attribute layer.
It would be much better if changing an attribute would not result in a change of the assigned layer.
For an example look also on www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=3870

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?

In the head of the new task form there is a “search for existing…” link to ribbonsoft.com even though I am browsing flyspray on qcad.org; maybe this can be made a relative link?

If I try to draw a circle between two little circles with a radius (e.g.) of 3000 the tool shows me only two possibility’s - but there are much more. If I make a counter test with the tool “2 Tangents with Point” all possibility’s are correct shown.

first pic “2 Tangents with Point” correct,

second pic “2 Tangents + Radius” incorrect,

“Autotrim” ignores status on invisible and/or blocked layer and will still trim along invisible entities.

Hi,

Using the Copy and Move command the [ ] Use current layer and attributes’ is confusing.

Perhaps [ ] change copy /moved set to current layers and attributes. is more suitable.

Hi,

In ‘Application preferences, Draw, Text’ fonts can be selected.

There is a mixing up between fonts (the appearance of characters on screen) and code tables (what digital code is used for each character).

‘ISO8859-11’ is the 8 bit Thai (!) code table and not a font
‘Unicode’ is the 16 bit code table and not a font.

For downward comptability QCAD should use default font Standard (ISO3098) with code table ISO8859-1 (US-ASCII Latin-1).

I did noticed a bug in the lib: Indeed, the handle numbers that DL_Dxf is parsing are in most case incorrect.
I believe this is due to the way then handle number is parsed in DL_Dxf::processDXFGroups.
The handle is parsed by calling the function getIntValue, which itself calls the function toInt to convert the handle from std::string to int by calling the function std::strtol(handle, NULL, 10).
However, the handle numbers in a dxf file are stored as hexadecimal.
I wrote a quick and easy fix to this issue, just tell me if you are interested!

QFileDialog should use the DontUseCustomDirectoryIcons flag; not much may be lost, performance should increase orders of magnitude for most – https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/54983/

It is not possible to draw ellipse aligned to bounding box.
Please see constructed red “EP” and green “El” compared to white circle,

Only getter that’s missing it in dl_attributes.h

it’s not true !!!!!!

My request it’s not implemented !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Many strings are untranslated and potentially needs to review all code.

Circles and arcs with dash patterns are not rendered properly if View > Screen-based linetypes is activated.

- Draw boundary (e.g. rectangle)
- Create block from boundary
- Select block reference
- Draw > Hatch
