Using block library and inserting a block automatic snapping is broken id the block is mirrored.

Attached is one of the blocks causing the error and a screengrab.

Tried this on another machine with 2.6.2 with same bug

Andrew,

Break out Manual (B2) on Arc and open Polyline results
seems to depend on the breakpoint picking order.

A segment is broken out when the picking order is in the entity orientation.
The intended behavior.

That differs when the picking order is opposite the entity orientation.
One would expect that the picking order matters when removing
a segment between the picked points.

Example file included

Noticed while merging code to PolyLineBreakSymbol.js
https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/scripts/Misc/MiscDraw/PolyLineBreakSymbol/PolyLineBreakSymbol.js Line 300-312 orders cut points on distance from start.
Otherwise, the results where inconsistent.

CVH

Sporadically, when I open a file, everything in it has rotated 180 degrees from when I last edited that file.

no Idea ehat this is about, definately a bug.

Ola, Sweden

I was editing a block using the “Edit block in-place” and then (because I was exploring QCad a little) tried the “Purge unused blocks” option. I suspect that the purge removed the block I was editing, since when I now click “Save and close”, I get “Original block not found”. Also when I click “Cancel”, I get “Original block reference data not found”.

Recreating an empty block with the same name fixes this, and “Save and close” seems to work as expected again.

This is probably very much a corner case which is not really important, but I wanted to report it just so it is known.

All linetype patterns are displayed too large.

Block contains a polyline with customized width

Works flawless with 3.25.0

Text font changes when saving and reloading the file.
Original text before saving:

Text after reopening the file:

See also attachments.

It would be nice if we could use the length of a polyline as a search criterion too.

Selection Filter, Property for Polyline, “Length” Comparison: same like Line?

Thanks.

Andrew,
This is bugging me for over a year now.
I filed it as a feature request as it is dismissed twice as a possible bug on the forum.
In both cases the advice is to only use Specific Scale 0 for Leaders.
(... and adapt all other dimensions to that)

I am aware that an arrow head has to fit twice on the first leg of a Leader Entity.

The size is set global in the Drawing Preferences under Dimension Settings: ‘Text Height’.
Under Dimension Settings, there is also a global ‘Size scale factor’.
And every dimension entity has a Specific Property called ‘Scale’ that supersedes this global ‘Size scale factor’.

Proof of concept: Dim size 5 and for any regular dimension.
1) Size scale factor 1, Specific Scale 0 » text height & arrow length = 5 units.
2) Size scale factor 2, Specific Scale 0 » text height & arrow length = 10 units.
3) Size scale factor 2, Specific Scale 1 » text height & arrow length = 5 units.
4) Size scale factor 1, Specific Scale 2 » text height & arrow length = 10 units.
5) Size scale factor 10, Specific Scale 0.5 » text height & arrow length = 2.5 units.
6) Size scale factor 99, Specific Scale 0.1 » text height & arrow length = 0.5 units.
→ Obvious is that the ‘Specific Scale’ supersedes the dimensions ‘Size scale factor’.

Those two last Leader arrows (2.5 & 0.5 long) would definitely fit twice on an 8 units long first Leader leg! And they do perfectly while drawing them.

However, the arrow will be reset when the file is saved & loaded.

For case 5 the first leg has to be (2 times 5×10) 100 units or over so an arrow 2.5 long remains on save (=40 times). In the absurd case 6 that would be (2 times 5×99) 990 units or over for an arrow only 0.5 units long (=1980 times).
Verfied and true.

It seems that on save/load:
The Specific Scale is not taken into consideration while evaluating ‘At least twice’.

Apart from that they render fine when first drew.
And reappear when setting the arrow back on again after load.

CVH

In the file provided one would expect *VARIES* in the property editor under custom properties when selecting 2 or more entities.
The key list is reduced to what keys are common to the multiple selection. (Here 3)
The values displayed are inconsistent depending the selection.

Select All » 3 custom properties of line 3
Select the 3 vertical » 3 custom properties of line 2
Select the first vertical and the diagonal » 3 custom properties of line 1
Select all but the first vertical » 3 custom properties of line 3
And so on ...

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)

CSVcomma/semicolon
Offset;50;50
Point;39,789355;-0,815325;+[Custom;Reference:101];
Point;38,49526;4,014304;+[Custom;Reference:102;Line:56]

The two points, and only those two points, are casted with custom properties
QCAD|Reference|101
QCAD|Reference|102 & QCAD|Line|56

Added: The dxf file
Added: The csv file (change to the comma/semicolon style)

An option for unidirectional dimensions, in addition to the default aligned dimensions.

When user activated LIne → Parallel (LP), there’s two input fields - Distance and Number. Keyboard shortcut Alt-N activated Number input field very well, but shortcut Alt-D activate menu Draw instead. So user forced to point Distance input field by mouse.

That’ because conflicting letter D.

Make a letter as shortcut (Distance) will remove problem b’coz no menu or option assigned to Alt-A combination

I added a link to a short video showing the issue.

In that case I set the `X Scale` property to `0.5`. When reopening the file after saving it, that property turned back to `1`. Other values (e.g. `2`) give the same result.

When importing dxf-file or pasting dxf-drawing from other window old content from a previous import is pasted. This seems to be connected to the opened file and can not be replaced, thus making it impossible to add new parts to the drawing. Clipboard Display shows correct part, not the same as what is pasted.

Include file was open when using ‘Edit Block In-place (BB)’ in an other drawing.
Happend on 5/1/2021 just before 2:56 am
https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?&t=7945#p31055

‘Edit Block In-place (BB)’ is never used in this drawing.
There was never a Block in this file.
I might have switched focus.

Re-installed QCAD a dozen times meanwhile.
Wiped all what remained of QCAD twice.
Cleaned up the windows registry twice.
Lastly left out all kinds of my custom scripts.
Simply a bare install with the msi file.

How to replicate:
- Start QCAD in normal mode
- Load included file
- Set App.Prefs .. Startup .. Restore open files
- Close QCAD
- Start QCAD in debugger mode
(-rescan -enable-script-debugger -always-load-scripts)

Boot fails.
Every successive trial.

When booting in normal mode I see the BB options toolbar blink shortly.

3 Screengrabs in DebuggerModeError.zip in the same topic.
The blink I can’t catch.

I can Boot with no file to retore on open in debugger mode and load the file.
I have several of those files, all were open that day at 2:56 am

In the Application Preferences>Draw>Text dialog, when first opened, the Uncheck all and Check all buttons are not disabled if the Show font preview in font controls check box is checked. If you click on the Use reduced selection of fonts check box twice the buttons become disabled.

Add alpha property to filter for hatches.

The alpha property is a new feature. Now that we are using it it can be added to tools like the “Property Painter”.

The zero crossing at 180° turn is fixed.

Found two very minute Line segments where the Width is set zero.
Revision dxf included.

Referring to the grid they are rendered about 0.0002 long.
They are in the order of 5e-15 and less or simply zero long in this case (<1ULP).
Results may vary in length ... and vary after Save/Revert.
Files included: PolyWidthErrLargeArc_v2.csv (a/b)

Not encountered on a Polyline with line segments.

Englisch:
A text that ends with a line break is displayed incorrectly.

I think the \P should be passed to the program to create the line break. Unfortunately it is taken over directly into the text.

See attachment

Deutsch:
Textbox erzeugt falschen Umbruch

Ein Text der mit einen Zeilenumbruch endet, wird falsch dargestellt.

Ich denke mal das \P sollte an das Programm weitergegeben werden um den Zeilenumbruch zu erzeugen. Leider wird es direkt in den Text mit übernommen.

Rectangle with Size (RS) doesn’t update the Fill, RoundCorners & Radius settings shared under the [Shape] header in QCAD ini.

Explained as group synchronization while the Polygon methods have more settings in common, although not shared.

In the summary there are more minor issues listed.
All have a bar in the Options Toolbar that disappears after the first is drawn.

I rather would opt for all individual settings ...
... or all grouped.

Path data might contain leading zeroes to indicate an implicit separator:

“1 02” should be equivalent with “1 0 2”, not “1 2”.
