 999 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Linear Factor doesn't get saved when drawing is closed. Closed
100%
Task Description

I have a dimension layer on a drawing. I make only that layer visible and select all dimensions. Then from the property editor I set the Linear Factor. The dimension values change as expected, and I can print the drawing and have the new dimension values show up as expected. When I save and close the drawing, then re-open it, the dimension Linear Factor does not retain the value I gave it. I saved my drawing in the current R27 DXF format.

 997 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Empty drawing after "transaction failed message" Closed
100%
Task Description

Hello,
I’m still evaluating qcad, and am currently working on some competition drawings.
Positive things first:
The respective drawing (a site plan delivered by the city authorities) containes one big solid hatch that is made of hundreds of closed boundaries. While this brought BricsCAD (my main program) to its knees, qcad handles this file with complete ease, congratulations!

But after some hours of work, I stumbled over a quite nasty bug: I tried to draw a polyline in model space, and got a “transaction failed” message (although the current layer was not locked) and then suddenly all entities in the drawing just disappeared. I checked my block definitions, and they too were empty. I therefore saved the drawing under a new name and closed it. However, there was no sign of qcad becoming unstable - it opened the previous version of the file without problems (I restarted the program nonetheless...).

Attached are the empty file (V1-2_corrupted.dwg), the last intact save before (V1-2.dwg), and logs of the command line as well as of the console.

Running audit in BricsCAD on V1-2.dwg just lists 57 errors like this:
Name: AcDbTextStyleTableRecord(6446)
Value: Last height 0
Validation: Not >0
Default value: Set to 2.5

Hope this can give some hints - if not, don’t waste time on it, I would come back to it should I encounter such a problem again.

 996 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Can't scale controlled "Rich Text" multi Lines ... Closed
100%
Task Description

If I have multi lines with different heights in a Rich Text the scale tool works not at all or the scale factor works different on each lines.

This example is scaled with factor 2. First line works - second line keeps the proportions.

 993 QCAD (main)Bug ReportMedium QCAD fails to load drawing with message: maximum recurs ...Closed
100%
Task Description

Since today, QCAD fails to load my drawings, with the following error message in the console:

Warning: RBlockReferenceData::getBoundingBox: maximum recursion depth reached: block: “Drukknop”

The block in question is the AREI (Belgian standard for symbols in electrical installations) symbol for a “button” light switch.
It’s a small and simple drawing (see attachment).

I’ve added a lot of these buttons in the drawing since the previous version, but there were some already present, and this never caused problems.

My request is that all selected entities stay selected after isometric projection, this would be useful for example if you need to modify the projection further after placing!

Property Editor - Geometry - Custom - Add Custom Property

It would be nice to have in “Application preferences” the possibility to predefine a couple Custom Property Names.
Right now I use the Custom Property function to add a DIN and the Material info to every Block. This project has a lot of DIN parts and I have to type again and again the names DIN ... Material ... DIN ... Material ... DIN ... Material ... DIN ... Material ... DIN ... Material ... you got my point ;-)

If I have predefined Names - I have just to fill out the value :-)

Using the 32-bit linux .tar.gz package on Opensuse 12.3 - KDE4, it opens with a window size larger than the screen (you cannot reach the maximise, minimise icons with the mouse.
Having maximised it with the keyboard, using the mouse on the corners the window can only be stretched in the east-west dimension and remains at a fixed height. I have reverted to 3.4.2 which is fine.

 978 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow "Frequently used" items for text Closed
100%
Task Description

Just floating an idea, recently I’ve had to use the diameter symbol many times in texts. At this moment it’s a chore, as that usually means browser, look for a page with symbol in it, copy, paste.

I wonder if the text entry could have some sort of a box for “frequently used” characters (or even phrases, or whatnot, but I presume a handful special characters that everyone can tailor to their needs would already be a huge plus)? Like, a 3×3 to 5×5 matrix below the Alignment panel or something along these lines.

It would be nice to get a status information after the use of the “Search/Replace” tool.

Something like: “5 matches found and replaced”,

It helps allot to get an Idea what happens in your drawing. Right now the tool window will just disappear and you have no idea about any success.

 973 QCAD (main)Bug ReportMedium Drawing outside zoom limit Closed

Task Description

When a drawing is placed in X,Y coordinates QCAD is unable to zoom to the drawing.

We use X,Y coordinates like X=182,635,000 mm Y=579,005,000 mm for the location of the constructions.

If you use Auto Zoom you get to see a small dot on the screen but as soon as you try to zoom to the drawing QCAD jumps within a certain limit and you can’t get to the drawing.

 971 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Dimension properties: text position not saved Closed
100%
Task Description

When reopening a dxf that had the dimension text aligned differently than the default, the text position has the same X position for vertical dimensions and the same Y position for horizontal dimensions as the dimension line. In other words, changes to the text position are not saved or loaded when reopening a file.

For example:
1) Create the drawing and take a dimension measurement
Dimension Line on (X, Y): (110, 1680)
Text Position changed to (X, Y): (100, 1255)

2) Save file, close it and reopen it
Dimension Line on (X, Y): (110, 1680)
Text Position on (X, Y): (110, 1255)

The text height (in drawing preferences) is set to 15 and page printing scale is 1:5 (if it matters).

QCAD Professional 3.4.2.0 on Ubuntu 13.04. See the attached file for the program specs.

Not really a major bug, but quite irritating none the less. :)

100%
Task Description

Just started using v.3.4.2 under Linux Mint 14. To begin with I could not print my drawing in color. Worked out that this was due to the default printer setting (driver hpcups 3.12.6) which was Draft Grayscale. My drawing printed in color fine when I changed this. I believe that it ought to be possible to set this from within QCAD, but the dialog “Print>[printer]Properties>Advanced” is blank. Has it been disconnected somehow?

100%
1 Task Description

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.

3 Task Description

See drawing: I can’t seem to be able to manually change to the “To” variants – that is, override the decision of the label/arrow placement engine.

The circle in the attachment is a borderline example of when even just in this form I would more like it on the outside. If the drawing is crowded in that area, it would be even more useful to have it the other way around.

It would be nice to have the possibility to control the automatic Text orientation in Block attributes.

Right now I have the feeling that the Text orientation is dependent on the tool what I even use.
Different tools = different outcomes.
