QCAD Bugtracker

Occurs when breaking out segment from closed polyline with more than two intersecting entities.

This also affects the hatch from segments tool when used with closed polylines.

Example:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qcad/qcad/master/scripts/Modify/BreakOut/Tests/data/closed_polyline.dxf

Line tangent to ellipse with start point on the minor axis of the ellipse produces wrong result.

- Draw ellipse
- Fill ellipse (solid or hatch)
- Rotate ellipse and filling
- Undo

→ Angle of ellipse shaped fill is not undone.

Other hatch boundary elements that break or cannot be undone:
- splines from fit points
- arcs (when only one point is moved, e.g. stretch)
- circles (when radius changes, e.g. scale, position changes)
- ellipses (when major point changes)

dxflib strips leading / trailing spaces from text when importing DXF files.

Add a command line switch to dwg2pdf to export a given block instead of “*Model_Space”.

Auto detect page orientation based on width / height of document.

Use comma to display dimension labels.

Port CXF font editor to QCAD 3.
- Load CXF fonts (load glyphs into blocks)
- Save back to CXF format

Assigning custom properties to entities and possibly layers and other objects.

Create a new block from a selection
Enter the name of an existing block
Overwrite warning
Overwrite block

Create spline through point P.
Create zero length line at P.
Snap to P → crash.

- Copy two block references of block “circle” which contains one circle
- Paste into new, empty drawing
- Pasted block “circle” contains two circles

TODO:

• Ask user to enter block attribute values when inserting block
• If attribute definition changes (tag changes), update attributes accordingly (note that other CAD systems don’t do this)
• Support for multiline attributes
• Control order of attributes (as shown to user in property editor, when inserting blocks)

DONE:

• Defining new block attribute definitions (constructing block attribute definition entities)
• Editing block attribute definitions (property editor)
• Synchronize attributes based on attribute definitions (position, angle, size, ...)
• Loading block attribute definitions from DXF / DWG
• Saving block attribute definitions to DXF / DWG
• Loading block attributes from DXF / DWG
• Saving block attributes to DXF / DWG

Related commands: DDATTE, ATTEDIT, ATTDEF

Deleted (undone) block attributes are stored to DXF/DWG.

Apply a font name replacement table to a drawing. E.g. change font ‘romanc’ to ‘Arial’, etc.

Support arc length dimenions (undocumented DXF entity ‘ARC_DIMENSION’).
Create arc length dimensions with parallel extension lines for angle < 90, orthogonal extension lines otherwise.
Display arc symbol beside or on top of label text.

Required for extreme units such as Nanometers or Kilometers. See also FS#20

- Select one single point
- Zoom to selection

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

Zero length lines are not shown in QCAD. For best compatibility these should be shown as dots.

If text style has a text width (x scale) that is not 1, the property x scale from the text style is applied to all texts of that style.

• does work for drawing and marking with the left button on the drawing area
• does work for zooming in and out with the middle-button wheel
• does work for calling up context menus with the right button on the menu bar and the layer list window
• does not work with the left button for actually clicking any menu item (Edit, View, ..) nor action icon on the top nor the left (e.g., draw lines, measure, zoom, undo, save, ..) nor the layer window (e.g., toggle visible, lock layer) nor the property editor.
