A block with attributes inserted into Model_Space can’t be made completely invisible with the invisible switch (Eye icon) in the block list. It works for entities but not on attributes.

Background color of current layout block (property “ColorSettings/BackgroundColor” of type QColor) is not saved in DXF/DWG.

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.

Andrew,

With 3 co-linear points:
- Arc3P will warn the user that an arc can’t be created (Line 141).
- Circle3P creates a null-circle without issuing a similar warning (Line 149).

The difference sits in ShapeAlgorithms.js
- ShapeAlgorithms.createArcFrom3Points Line 1465 checks if the returned arc isValid.
- ShapeAlgorithms.createCircleFrom3Points Line 1436 checks if the returned circle isNull.

Similar as RArc.cpp at Line 108 RCircle.cpp returns an RCircle() at Line 74 when there is no intersection of the two middle lines.
An RCircle() isn’t a valid circle as such but it is not nothing.

The error from ShapeAlgorithms.js is also treated somewhat different in the pickCoordinate event of Arc3P vs Circle3P.

Qt 6 compiled binaries show wrong default colors in preferences (always black).

Andrew,

Deleting a node of a polyline (OD) followed by Undo (OO) while OD is still in ChoosingNode state and then deleting another node returns a polyline where both nodes are removed.

this.polylineEntity is set once in pickEntity() altered after pickCoordinate() and a clone is returned to the drawing.
The next pickCoordinate() continues with altering this.polylineEntity without retrieving the current form and is thus unaware that the former action might be undone.

The work around to undo a removal is first to terminate (QQ) PolylineDeleteNode then Undo (OO) and then start over with selecting the polyline and indicating nodes.

While adding nodes (OA) we can simply undo the last action and continue adding nodes.

Because the new entity has the same id as the initially one ...
... It should be possible to re-retrieve the actual entity by id in pickCoordinate() or deleteNode().

CVH

I often have an unusual program crash when switching to print preview and back several times.
The first click on print preview shows no reaction. On the second click, ok.
After two or three changes, a program crash suddenly appears after a few seconds.
Even with an empty document.
I work on Win 10 with i7-10700KF (not overclocked), GeForce RTX 2070 super,
EPSON ET-2820 Series (Microsoft IPP Class Driver) and with QCAD 3.28.1.0.
Up to now I have worked with 3.17.xx (without problems) and upgraded to QCAD 3.28.1 yesterday 06/19/2032.
I find the program very good and have always been able to draw my private projects well and efficiently on paper.
But I can’t work with this error.
Thank you in advance for your help

QCAD Pro crashes (or quits; there’s no crash report dialog shown) if I select Help–> Check for QCAD Pro Updates.

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling QCAD, and the configuration file. Doesn’t help.

QCAD Professional version: 3.28.1.0
Date: Mar 30 2023
Qt version: 5.8.0
Compiler version: gcc 4.8.1
Build date: Mar 30 2023
Revision: ca7ec144abd203d2a68ca91c0ff0684868ba08a5

xubuntu 23.04 6.2.0-25-generic

In QCAD Pro, I found that setting the application preference to disable “Text above dimension line” does not transfer to new drawings.

My setup:
QCAD Professional version: 3.28.1.0
Date: Mar 30 2023
Qt version: 5.8.0
Compiler version: gcc 4.8.1
Build date: Mar 30 2023
Revision: ca7ec144abd203d2a68ca91c0ff0684868ba08a5

OS: Xubuntu 23.04
Kernel: 6.2.0-25-generic
Resolution: 1920×1200 DE: Xfce 4.18
WM: Xfwm4

Demonstration procedure follows:

Fresh install QCAD Pro (no previous config file);

Edit –> Application Preferences

Under “Defaults for New Drawings”, select “Dimension Settings”

Under “Dimension Style”, “Text above dimension line” is enabled by default. Uncheck it, then press Apply button.

Change one or more other settings; for instance “Linear Dimensions” to Decimal, or the Precision. Press Apply button accordingly.

Press OK button to dismiss Application Preferences.

Quit out of QCAD Pro.

Reopen QCAD Pro. Create something that can be dimensioned, and dimension it. Label will appear above the dimension line.

Edit –> Drawing Preferences

Under “Dimension Style”, “Text above dimension line” is checked, contrary to the Application Preference setting. The other preference settings are in effect.

-u / -multiplier switch has no effect (option applied to later during initialization of nester).

All I get when I print is an “A1”, which I believe is the drawing size

Some colored lines are exported as black on macOS M1 / Qt 6.

- Create a block reference to block “A” - Duplicate block reference
- Nest both block references

Only one block reference is nested, the other one is not placed.

This tool is also being used outside of the part library browser context by some users.

The rulers/ruler ticks disappeared after updating to 3.28.2.4 for Mac.

Andrew,

In some cases Draw > Ellipse > Inscribed in Quadrilateral (EQ) may return a perfectly healthy result but rotated for 90 degrees.
- Size doesn’t matter.
- Quadrant doesn’t matter.
- Geometrical open or closed base shape doesn’t matter.
- A mirrored base shape usually preforms well.

See attachment with examples.
The incorrect results (red) are rotated 90 degrees around the ellipse center (dotted)
Green is a correct result from a mirrored base shape.

I can not add or remove Points to existing Spline

Printing / PDF export with crop marks enabled fails with Qt 6 packages macOS on M1/M2/M3.

Related topic: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=91&p=43078#p43076

Reason:
LaserBase.js should not only make CamPlungeRate and CamPlungeRate_Label invisible, but also set a default value, such as zero.

RSpline::getLength crashes in some cases. Bug in OpenDesign libraries OdDbSpline::getDistAtParam.

Hi, I’m new in QCAD.

I need to print some drawings amd the decimal separator is a ‘?’ instead of ‘.’.

Mi versión is QCAD 3.28.2.0, revision a8039fc, Qt version 5.13.2, architecture x86_64, and the OS is Windows 10.

How can I solve this?

Thanks

hello. if i use the tool on my own drawing, no problem, but on an element coming from the library, the blue selection square appears, it moves but the chosen shape doesn’t follow. i’ve tested several ways and even by creating a block. cordially

bonjour. si j’utilise l’outil sur mes propre dessin, aucun Souci, mais sur un élément de venant de la bibliothèque, le carre de sélection bleu apparait, ce déplace mais la forme choisi ne suis pas. j’ai teste plusieurs manière et même en créant un bloc. cordialement

Using XCODE15, QCAD fails to compile. The error shown:

In file included from include/spatialindex/SpatialIndex.h:251:
include/spatialindex/MovingRegion.h:155:34: error: no template named ‘binary_function’ in namespace ‘std’; did you mean ‘__binary_function’?

Per Apple’s website, binary_function are no longer provided in C++17 and newer

As explained in this forum post.... https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=10520

File > New from template does not show the dialog and shows a spinning wheel instead.

From the looks of it the cursor image data is read at a wider pace as it is stored.
One can distinguish the double cross positioning QCAD cursor but it is shifted.

If I draw a ‘control points’ spline, it draws fine. If I draw (or open a file with...) ‘fit points’ spline, then that spline type wont’ display. (see attached video)

* If I ‘select all’, then the fit points will display/highlight; however, the spline itself does not display.

Layer groups are not present. See attached screenshot and link.
In screenshot....3.28 is on the left, 3.29 on the right.

Exception in CAM simulation when previewing tool position.

When screen-based linetypes are enabled, the zoom box width depends on the zoom level and can get very wide / thin.

Context menu of dimension text label line edit widgets offers a <> entry which does not insert <>.

Label position is only reset on reload / entity regeneration.

Affected tools: Insert Bitmap (keep proportions), Rotate (by mouse), Scale (by mouse).

If nesting preference “Place small parts into holes of other parts” is disabled there may be fewer solutions or no solution if rotations is set to 1.

When using PDF Export I see different lineweight to using dwg2pdf. See Different lineweights PDF Export vs dwg2pdf

Hi,

tested with back_plate.dxf (QCAD Tutorial Example)

Drawing is original mm, metric, A4. Printprewiew works, Autofit Drawing to page etc. works as expected!

In Drawing Preferences: Changed settings to inch, imperial, Ansi A
Printpreview works but options like
“Autofit Drawing to page” and “Autofit pages to drawing” are not working as usual ...

Went back to mm etc - everything works again as expected.

The option “true scale” has no effect, projected result does not use true scale.

Clicking “Set to Printer Margins” has no effect.

I’m seeing only a partial hatch in the shape. See here for details.

The last version (3.29.4) present a very important issue.
When we work with a “complicated” file (about >1MB or up see attachment test.dwg) the cursor and selected object not work fine after move some layout windows in Paper_Space: disappear coordinates informations and snap nodes. (see attachment before.png an after.png)
This issue is present in all Qcad version (Linux, Mac-intel, Mac-silicon, Windows).
The last working-fine version is 3.28.2
I’m a enthusiastic Qcad user and I hop that this issue will be fixed early!

Andrew,

It seems that Attribute Definitions are created by default with Invisible = Yes
I can’t control this property on creation.
I can select the newly created Attribute Definition and toggle the flag.

Consequence when not updating this flag for each new Attribute Definition is that inserted Block Attributes disappear on synchronizing.
See attached files.

The default Invisible = Yes setting is not retained on save/reload.
(You will probably discover these flags to be ‘No’ in the attached files)
Synchronizing after a reload has no longer the mentioned consequence.

On inserting a Block Reference based on a Block with Attribute Definitions the Invisible flag of new Block Attributes is always ‘No’.
InsertBlock.js nor InsertBlockItem.js consider the Attribute Definition Invisible flag status when creating and inserting a new RAttributeEntity object.
e.g.: InsertBlock.js L184-L206

IMHO:
- Invisible = Yes on creation is not the best default for new Attribute Definitions.
- Not retaining this flag on save/reload is probably not intended.
- Disregarding the Attribute Definitions Invisible flag on block insertion seems incorrect.

Scale value is not loaded from drawing and shown as 1:1 if the scale is stored as a number.

File > Open should not preselect the dxflib filter but All Files.

Caused by changed order of loading plugins.

1) Start with a new fresh drawing
2) draw an object (e.g. Circle)
3) select Layer>Duplicate Layer
4) Proposed name “0 Kopie” is ok, and maybe change color
5) New Layer “0 Kopie” is created but no objects in this copied layer.
6) Select original layer and select Modify>Detection>Detect Duplicates
=⇒ there you find the copy of your layer content twice
