The attached screenshot will make clear what the problem is:
“échelle” should be between “cotes” and “platines”, not at the bottom. “e” and “é” must be considered the same letter when ordering alphabetically.

QCad quits when you double-click a text; What’s wrong, QCad or file?

I very much like the new middle mouse button zoom in/out and congratulate Andrew for implementing it so quickly but there’s an annoying delay that is necessary between successive zoom in/out actions. This is easily understood by comparing it to zooming in/out with the +/- keys. With the keyboard you can repeat zooms as quickly as the keyboard repeat rate allows; with the middle mouse button quick zooms are not possible.

RArc::splitAt() works wrong in some cases.
To reproduce execute this script:

            var arc = new RArc(new RVector(0, 0), 100, Math.PI*2, Math.PI/2, true);
            var points = [];
            points.push(arc.getPointAtPercent(1/3));
            var arcs = arc.splitAt(points);
            if (arcs.length == 2) {
                qDebug("OK, arcs count:", arcs.length);
            } else {
                qDebug("FAILED, arcs count:", arcs.length);
            }

            arc.mirror(new RLine(0, 0, 0, 100));

            points = [];
            points.push(arc.getPointAtPercent(1/3));
            arcs = arc.splitAt(points);
            if (arcs.length == 2) {
                qDebug("OK, arcs count:", arcs.length);
            } else {
                qDebug("FAILED, arcs count:", arcs.length);
            }

The first case split in two arcs, but the second splits in one arc only.

I think the reason is the code in RArc::splitAt():

        ...
        if (RMath::getAngleDifference180(a1, a2))*radius()<0.001) {
            continue;
        }
        ...

The RMath::getAngleDifference180() return angle between -pi and pi so absolute value should be used.

Bei der Eingabe von Blockattributen im Eigenschaften Editor werden die deutschen Sonderzeichen nicht richtig wiedergegeben.

When entering block attributes in the Properties Editor, the German special characters are not displayed correctly.

Given: Template with prepared Paper Space Frame/Titleblock scale = 1:1.
Drawing 1:1
First Viewport / scale 1:1 / inserted in Paper Space = everything fine,
Second Viewport / scale 0.02 will scale the Paper respective to the new Viewport scale but the Frame/Titleblock isn’t scaled.

... can’t find Block References if the Block which contains the Block References (Attributes) isn’t selected prior with the mouse.

The Selection Filter will find the Block References regardless which block is chosen in the Block List.

Layer combo box in the property editor is not sorted.

no task description

If I insert a content from the Clipboard to the drawing a new Relative Zero Point isn’t created.
I’m not able to use e.g. a restriction regarding to the last inserted content. QCAD will use the last Relative Zero Point in the drawing even if I already inserted a content.

Screenshot:
Clipboard content = circle

1. First insert

Restriction horizontal

2. Second insert

(I originally described the problem in the forum: https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=5721 )
(The problem was also reproduced by user “Husky” so it not installation specific.)

I have a model where one of the details is as shown in attachment 1

However, when I create a viewport and display the part in the the layout the angular measurement is another. See attachment 2.

In the model it should be noted that the part displayed is a detail copied with a different scale as to Zoom in on a detail in order to put dimensions on it. It was created by copying a part of the model and pasting it back in the model but with 3x zoom.

I have also included the full .dxf file in the hope that it helps you both reproduce and fix this issue

Note: The same problem seems to also produce “ghostlines” in other viewports in the layout which is not present in the model. Removing the angular measurement also removed the ghostline. You can observe the issue by looking at layout2 and you can see a line (dimension layer) going from top right corner of the viewport towards the lower left. This line is not present in the model and appears to be some strange extension to the angular dimension the detail that is just to the top right in the model.

Regarding to an observation by the forum member Horst1803
http://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=92&t=5725

The ruler functionality is compromised by Graphics View / Grid settings.
To show the full Ruler functionality “Automatic scale grid” has to be activated. I think that is not intended behavior.

Case: Appearance / Show rulers = activated

Application Preferences / Graphics View / Grid

on - Automatically scale grid
on - Automatically scale meta grid
off - Solid grid lines
= Rulers visible
= Graduation visible
= Labels visible

off - Automatically scale grid
on - Automatically scale meta grid
off - Solid grid lines

When a file is opened from “File→Open Recent” on QCad Pro it gives a 100% repeatable crash if the file is on a folder synchronized with Google Drive. If the file is opened using “File→Open” instead it works as expected. See attached crash-log.

In 3.21.1, and 3.21.2 a change to a shortcut looses all previous shortcut changes.
This does not become apparent in the current session; a modified shortcut works fine together with all the previous modifications, until you close QCAD.
But-
When you re-open QCAD, the only customised shortcut available is the last one that was changed, every other customised keyboard shortcut has gone back to default.

There is a case that qcad do not detect intersection between a circle/arc and a line. Attached is an example.

Having a multi selection and at least one ‘older’ arc the startpoint indication in red of some entities might disappear.

Entities that suffer from this are:
Other arcs
Polyline
Splines

Only the ‘oldest’ arc in selection will have a startpoit indication.
Multi selection of ‘newer’ entities from the list above will not if an ‘older’ arc is part of the selection.
Deselecting de ‘older’ arcs will reveal the startpoints up to the ‘oldest’ arc.

In the file provided entities where drew in order from left to right.
Select all and start deseleting arcs from the left.

The behaviour is affected by changing the draw order property and a save/close/open.
In the second file the rightmost arc was set to draw order 7, the same as the 4th was.
After save/close/open it is renumbered to 8 and the behaviour is different as in the firts file.

Hello
the message: The ORDINAL 3906 was not found in the LIBEAY32.dll dynamic-link library. is displayed each time QCAD is opened.
How to fix this problem
thanks in advance
cordially**

Property Editor / Size adjustment for Polygon rectangle accepts no changes for Width and Height. Was perfect working till 3.21.2

Drawing with more than 4 Layout Blocks (Layout1, Layout2 etc),

Add Viewport, choose rectangle for viewport, Dialog pops up to choose a Layout Block,
I choose Layout4 - the Viewport is placed on Layout2,

next new Viewport - placed on Layout3 - the Viewport will be placed again on Layout2 ...

Please see:

http://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=5929&p=22098#p22098

If option “Preserve geometry” is activated, texts are exported at a wrong height if the drawing unit is not the same as the SVG output unit.

Most of the Chinese items cannot be shown correctly. But when I check the qm files, the translation are there and the contents are correct.

I’m using the Pro version 3.21.3.0

See QTBUG-69955 which affects QCAD on Mojave:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-69955

1) Open the attached dxf file
2) Right click on “vne_vent_odvod_ec_3f” block in Block list and select Copy block
3) Choose name
4) Insert reference of this Copy block to the modelspace
5) Save the file
6) Close and reopen the file

RESULT: Attributes of block references included in the original block are missing in the copied block.
Immediately after insertion of the copied block I can see in the property editor, that block reference attributes are not “conected” to the block reference, but they are still visible. They disappear when the file is reopen.

Alternative way I use to copy this kind of blocks without error: Open block I want to copy, Select all entities, reference copy of them, paste to modelspace, select them in modelspace and choose create block.

In a the modelspace I have a block reference of a block(parent), which includes block references (with attributes) of another blocks(child). Than I select this parent block reference and choose Explode. The result is, that the child block references have visible attributes, but they are not connected to the block reference anymore (I can not see them in property editor when the child block is selected). Than when I choose synchronize attributes, new attributes with default values will appear.
I am not sure it his is a bug or expected behavior of the Explode feature.

If it is not a bug, I would like to have new Extract feature, which would copy the content of the selected block reference and immediately insert it exactly to the same place (attributes would be still connected to child references) Extracted block reference would be than removed. Optionally, it could delete the block definition if it is not used anymore in the drawing (but there is already Block Purge feature which will do this).

- Create block with attributes
- Create block reference
- Select block reference
→ Property editor does not show attributes

Hi,

when I export a dxf draw to svg the text objects shows in a bit different place.

QCAD version is 3.21.3.14

Drawing preferences have no effect on point type when printed or in print-preview for block reference points.
Notice in “print output”, the “Dot” (Block reference point) is displayed (drawing preferences are ignored).

See attached photos.

Seems to have been introduced in 854baacb, it seems.

when printing only a white page is generated. Also when pdf generation, a corrupted file is generated. I enclose my dwg file.
Also It takes more than 20 seconds for most of the task, like selecting, zoom in or out, and I own a 16Gb RAM and i7 8Gen processor....
It sucks...

QCAD seems either to mishandle or ignore svg group transformations altogether.

Importing the attached file into QCAD renders the largest polygon (polygon18) to be rotated and misplaced. This is shown in actual.png. The expected result (original Inkscape renedering) is shown in expected.png.

Looking at the code of the original drawing it can be observed there is a transformation applied to the group which polygon18 is in:

 <g
   style="stroke-width:0.35433099;stroke-miterlimit:4;stroke-dasharray:none"
   id="g20"
   transform="rotate(-90,316.66796,298.95141)" >
   <path
      inkscape:connector-curvature="0"
      id="polygon18"
      d="..." />

Removing the ‘transform’ attribute produces virtually identical (erroneous) rendering in Inkscape as well.

Hi. This is a layers confusion..

I have layers:

0
v Layer 1
Layer 1a
v Layer 2
Layer 2a

I select (highlight) “Layer 1a” add an entity on “Layer 1a”
I select (highlight) “Layer 2a” add an entity on “Layer 2a”

I then collapse “Layer 2” and then collapse “Layer1” - in that order:

0
> Layer 1
> Layer 2

No layers shown highlighted.

I immediately add a 3rd entity.

I then open “Layer 2” and see that “Layer 2a” is still highlighted.

I then hide “Layer 1”

That third entity that I added is now hidden (as is the first entity that I added in “Layer 1a”) and properties show it is part of “Layer 1”, not “Layer 2a”. Seems like the third entity is added to the top layer that was last collapsed.

Even happens if I collapse “Layer 2” and then immediately expand it. Add an entity and that entity is placed in “Layer 2” even though “Layer 2a” is still highlighted.

I hope this makes sense. Not a huge issue, just a strange UI peculiarity.

Best regards
Hugh
3.21.3.19 and 3.21.3 Windows 10 as updated as possible

Add option to line input context menu to enter a distance from the drawing, measured from two points.
Perhaps existing measuring tools can be re-used to feedback values into line edits to avoid duplication.
