 2546 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow After unit change "Autofit drawing to page" - fails Closed

Task Description

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.

2527QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowOption to mirrow viewports in paperspaceAssigned
0%
3 Task Description

Hi,
In paperspace I can scale and rotate etc. a viewport but I can’t mirrow it for to me unknown reasons.
After reading and testing this user request I agree that it would make sence to have such an option. The solution from Andrew to accomplish that task with blocks / edit block in place is already a nice solution but to me it feels like paperspace would be the correct place with less action to manage. The user can still design the drawing as usal in modelspace without thinking about the “special treatment” for the block which is used for the mirrowed presentation.

As we know it is easy to copy our own hatches (.pat) to QCAD but unfortunately with every QCAD update I’ve to move those files to a new location.

Task Description

Please see the reported issue below:
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=8994&p=35889#p35889

The library items is designed only with hatches. Inserted within the Library Browser will lead to a wildly displaced reference point position. The then in the drawing available block inserted again from the Block List will show the original correct reference.

On the other hand - Library Items designed with common entities like circle, line etc. behave in both cases normal as expected.

Regarding to forum post:
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=8982&p=35836#p35836

dwg loaded in 3.27.1 frees QCAD (no response) and a Win10 PC. Same drawing loaded in 3.26.0 causes no problems. It looks to me that two hatches (handle 198b6, 198ba) are the culprits.
Drawing saved without those hatches opens without any problem in 3.27.1.

2301QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowRotate preview on/offAssigned
0%
1 Task Description

Hi,

I believe prior QCAD version 3.22.0.0 there was no rotating preview. The rotating preview shows the outcome regarding to the chosen center point. I know that it is also common for move/copy. However, for me it is very confusing and difficult to chose the correct center point for a rotation if I’m constantly been distracted by the most of the time overlapping preview of my selection. This said if the drawing is very detailed I have to zoom in extremely to be able to snap to the right entity. That wouldn’t be necessary without the preview. Additional rotate a large drawing selections will compromise the performance - CPU is going like crazy.

It would be nice to have an option to turn this preview on/off.

 2280 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Dimension arrows not filled Closed
100%
Task Description

Version QCAD 3.26.4.7 / Windows x86_64

Existing drawing:

1. e.g. flange.dxf loads with no fills (solid hatch) for arrows,
2. New dimension are also without arrow fills.
3. This existing drawing has Text above line! Setting Drawing Preferences / Dim to “Horizontal text labels” will alter Text to be Horizontal BUT also open a gap for the text which is a separate setting (Text above dimension Line). Undo doesn’t works on this properly - used multiple times will even change the dim color which wasn’t changed in this operation.

New drawing:

1. Same test scenario - same issue.
2. Dim settings = Horizontal text Labels ticked, Text above dimension Line ticked produces a dim horizontal orientated with a gap instead to put the text above the line

Task Description

In Print Preview the movable display of the printing area (white) is displayed to small which makes a multi page arrangement very difficult. You want not notice the wrong size when you print only one page but 10 pages vertical in a row will show the effect clearly. I checked a metric (mm) and an imperial (inch) unit. The deviation in Imperial is clearer than in Metric.

 2232 QCAD/CAMBug ReportLow Nesting fails when parts fit plus minus null on sheets Closed
100%
Task Description

Just lost a detailed report (token?)- now a short version!

Nesting fails when parts fit plus minus null on sheets. My parts should fit regarding to the measurements on a sheet multiple times. The nesting tool can’t find a solution.

Options are:
Quantity multiplier: 0
Rotation: 4
Sheet margin: 0
Margin: 0
Tolerance: 0

If I modify the parts and make them slightly smaller then a nesting is done as expected. Did I miss something?
