Task Description

In the “Drawing a Shape Using Absolute Polar Coordinates” hands-on, step 3, there are two toolbar pictures, each with a caption. The pictures don’t match the captions; ie. the pictures should be swapped.

 886 BookBug ReportLow Wrong coordinates in the Orthographic Projections hands ...Closed
100%
Task Description

I have the book dating about a year back, with the following metadata (no other version information in there):

Producer:       FPDF 1.7
CreationDate:   Fri Aug 24 15:10:36 2012

I believe there is a slight error in the Orthographic Projections hands-on (it may not be there in current versions of the book, but since my download timeframe is long over, I can not check that – should that be the case, sorry for the noise).

On page 219, step 1 of the exercise (drawing the front view), it is said

Set the first corner of the rectangle at the origin of the drawing (1)
and the other corner at 30,20 (2).

On pages 225-226, steps 7 and 8, drawing a 45-degree auxiliary line for the right-side view, it is said

Set the position of the line at the origin of the drawing (coordinate 0/0).

0/0 is the “bottom left” corner of the top view. The correct coordinates for the auxiliary line’s position are 0/30, the “bottom left” corner of the front view.

(I had not realized the bug tracker had a Book category as well – hence this is a duplicate of an e-mail report I have sent to info@.)

100%
Task Description

QCAD Professional
Win installer 32 bit
Version: 3.25.2.13 (3.25.2.13)
Internet: QCAD.org
Build Date: Feb 12 2021
Revision: cad2d36
Qt Version: 5.13.2
Architecture: i386
Compiler: Unknown

Andrew,
While enhancing DrawFromCSV: Forum Link.
I had a peek at the new command line tool: dwg2csv

I would never come up with 115 columns.
That wouldn’t be efficient to generate entities from.
Although this way it is very complete and one could use specific lists to filter.
One downside is that the ‘-list’ switch return is far too vast for the windows command line.



Remarked that:
Only the first alphabetically custom property is listed under:
QCAD:Line & QCAD:Reference (columns 114-115).
And that the last encountered is persistent for all entities that follows.

Maybe this originates from a multiple entity selection ...
... what also retains the last encountered custom properties in the property editor.
Should I add a seperate task for that?



Also had an exception thrown:
Debug: dropped global XDATA (no res buf): “ViewportCenter”.
Discarted that as this very basic test drawing hasn’t even a Viewport.

Regards,
CVH

Added: Snippet from DrawFromCSV code (merely a test case)

 1889 DocumentationBug ReportLow Autosave fails for QCAD original cxf font location Closed
100%
Task Description

Now I try the third time to post this .... :-( .... deleted by “wrong token”???????
However ...

Regarding to the online tutorial:

quote:
Opening a CXF Font for Editing

To load an existing CXF font file in QCAD to view and edit its glyphs, simply use the menu File > Open and choose the format filter “CXF Font Files (*.cxf)”. Then choose the font file you want to open. The fonts that come with QCAD are stored in directory “fonts” of your QCAD installation.

quote end

Editing the cxf font in the original QCAD font folder will lead to a error message triggered by the Autosave function:

File access error: “C:/Program Files/qcad-3.22.1-pro-win64/fonts\~~Husky_test_font.dxf”. Access is denied.
[15:34:58] Autosave failed: C:\Program Files\qcad-3.22.1-pro-win64\fonts\~Husky_test_font.dxf

Note: Windows will not save anything in a system folder and the process is terminated by windows.

Solution: Move the cxf font for editing from the QCAD folder to a unprotected folder like Documents/drawings.
After editing is done move it back to the QCAD font folder.

 1040 DocumentationBug ReportLow Break out Manual on Circle/Ellipse does not respect Rem ...Closed
100%
Task Description

3.4.7 trial as well as community Git 9d3979

  • Draw a circle
  • B2
  • Make sure “Remove segment” is ticked
  • Select circle, then select two points to break out in between

Expected:

  • Segment gets removed (not really, but read on)

Actual:

  • Segment does not get removed, but circle is indeed broken into two arcs

Same for an ellipse.

I can see that by selecting two points on a closed circular shape it’s nigh impossible to tell which segment the user actually wants to remove :)

The documentation doesn’t mention this corner case. For clarity, a note detailing this effect a bit should be added to the docs.

On a slightly related note, I do not see why the feature couldn’t work on Polyline objects as well (with the same corner case restriction if it’s a closed polyline).

Very useful feature btw, thanks for it.

I just downloaded QCAD and bought the doc that goes with it. Lo and behold, I find that I cannot search the doc in Preview (Acrorbat Reader too!)! So I paid extra for doc that might be argued should come with a product (although its hard to complain about the price) and then I cannot even search it electronically?

Task Description

Layer ‘0’ has some special function. E.g. it can not be deleted, it will contain the data of undeleted layers.

I recommend adding some explanations: Explain the function of Layer ‘0’ as third paragraph in chapter 12 of the manual. Further it should be recommended to never use this layer for drawing.

By the way: I consider this to be better than no layer undelete. BUT: is there really not way for a true layer undelete...

1888dwg2bmpFeature RequestLowAdd support to disable hatch rendering on "dwg2bmp"Assigned
0%
1 Task Description

Hi!

A friendly request to add an option to disable hatch rendering on “dwg2bmp” conversions.

Depending on the nature of the conversion and the density of the hatch, this may render unintelligible images (see attachments). The option could look like “-t, -nohatch” to indicate hatches should be hidden before rendering. This could potentially become an option too for “dwg2svg” or “dwg2pdf.”

Amazing product, thank you so much!

1887dwg2bmpFeature RequestLowAdd "-max-lineweight" option for dwg2bmpAssigned
0%
2 Task Description

Hi there,

A friendly request to add the option to set a maximum lineweight for raster conversions via dwg2bmp.

Depending on the LW configuration of the CAD file, rasterization operations sometimes yield terrible results (see attachment). This would also mirror the similar “-min-lineweight” options available on “dwg2svg” and “dwg2pdf” (although not on “dwg2bmp”).

 2419 dwg2csvBug ReportLow dwg2csv quote handling Closed
100%
1 Task Description

When a text string contains a double quote(”) character, the value is not quoted.
If the text string contains a comma, the value is quoted (using double quotes).

When a text string starts with a double quote, it is unclear which of the above two states is correct, making for difficult parsing. (Excel seems to assume the second state when possible)

It would make parsing much easier if the output csv followed the format provided in rfc4180, namely that

If fields are not enclosed with double quotes, then double quotes may not appear inside the fields
(2.5)
If double-quotes are used to enclose fields, then a double-quote appearing inside a field must be escaped by preceding it with another double quote
