 2546 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow After unit change "Autofit drawing to page" - fails Closed
100%
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.

 2545 QCAD (main)SuggestionVery Low Confusing re-use of the same icon for two purposes: pen ...Closed
100%
Task Description

See attached.

In the “layer list” header qcad uses a pencil icon for “edit layer”.
But the exact same symbol means something different just below.
In the layer list the pencil seems to mean “current layer”, and it not clickable,
though the eye icon next door is.

In short: it’s confusing that clicking the pencil in the layer list does not, say, edit the layer.

1 Task Description

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.

CVH

 2488 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow Not saved/loaded custom properties when the title is no ...Closed
100%
1 Task Description

Andrew,

Discovered in writing a custom tool:
hatchEntity.setCustomProperty(”MijnEPB”, “Ruimte”, roomData.numberText);
Works perfectly and I can retrieve the room numbers of all semi-automatically placed hatches in this instance of QCAD.

But I can not store and reload this file with these custom properties to use them in a new QCAD session.
I then assume the title must be ‘QCAD’.
Then I wonder how QCAD handles custom properties by other CAD applications.
Are they also removed on loading/writing?

QCAD doesn’t list these custom properties in the Property Editor.
Here hidden was fine unless they are not stored with the document.

Is it even possible to store them in the drawing file?
Why is the title a required variable when it can’t differ from ‘QCAD’?
Would it be possible to list them up in the Property Editor because I know they are filtered on title ‘QCAD’.

For now I revert to:
hatchEntity.setCustomProperty(”QCAD”, “EPB-Ruimte”, roomData.numberText);
Similar as the CAM tool that uses ‘Cam....’ for all keys.

CVH

 2487 QCAD (main)SuggestionVery Low Dutch translations typos Closed
100%
1 Task Description

Andrew,

For the dutch translations:

- The tooltip for the close icon of a tab is “Close tab”

“Sluit tab”.

- When the drawing was changed the confirmation dialog second option is “Discard”

“Verwerpen” or “Niet opslaan”.
... Reading several discussions the latter is the better translation.

- Found in the Drawing Prefs and also used in the App.Prefs (DIMLUNIT):
> Bewerken
.> Tekeningsvoorkeuren
..> Bemating
...> Bematingsvoorkeuren
....> Tekstformaat
.....> Liniaire bemating

This must be “Lineaire bemating”

100%
Task Description

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.

 2481 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Program crash with print preview Closed
100%
Task Description

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

 2479 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Draw > Polyline > Delete Node(s): inconsistencies when  ...Closed
100%
1 Task Description

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().

Regards,
CVH

 2476 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Draw > Circle > Circle3P: Creates null-circle with co-l ...Closed
100%
Task Description

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.

CVH
