Block contains a polyline with customized width

Works flawless with 3.25.0

- Create clockwise arc
- Convert to polyline
- Assign segment end width > 0

Example shows the effect on a ring (Menu → Draw → Ring)

If I create a closed polygon that include arcs or parts of circles, they export to SVG as straight lines.

If I explode the polyline, they export fine.

If I create a solid fill, those arcs export fine.

See attached DXF and SVG output.

This may be a duplicate bug, but my previous bug report vanished.

I have a dwg file and find the performance very poor when trying to move an entity. QCAD3 beta 3 appears incapable of performing the necessary calculations for the “Auto Snap” when trying to select the reference point (the mouse pointer does not track the path). If Auto Snap is turned off there is no performance issue.

I can provide a problem file (via email) but am unable to upload it to the internet as it is a proprietary drawing.

Offsetting a Spline, after exploding and converting to a polyline produces a poor result!

1. Version 2.2 - no problems for using polyline Tools > offset for splines - after exploding them and creating a polyline from the segments! The results were acceptable!

2. Version 3 RC3 or 2 (Ubuntu) - the resultant offset of the Spline was unacceptable in Version 3 RC2/3 and only 50% of the offset was created!

Qcad3 have the feature to print in 3 ways: color, grey and black.

The missing feature is select some layers to preserve the original color in the black mode of print.

I have the Library browser set up per instructions from website. The following is about as good an explanation as I can come up with for now.

When I open the program the software keeps trying to update the library index at start-up regardless of whether “Update search index on start-up” is checked or unchecked (this happens when there are items installed into the library and show up in the browser window). However, if I have no library components installed and open the program the software does not try to update the index and immediately opens the main program window (when the index at start-up is unchecked). I can use the manual method to update the index at that time. However after doing that, same thing happens. When I close out and restart the program again the software will want to update the index before the main window opens up (with the index at start-up unchecked).

I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it again to no avail. It still does the same thing. Therefore I have to wait around 30 sec to 1 minute to wait for and update of the index depending on what I have in the library browser at any one time. Most times I open the program I don’t need index updating as there are no new items to add to the library.

formatValue returns “0” instead of “+0” for negative values that round up to 0 with the configured decimals.

as read in http://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=2957,
I want to edit my preferences, but it does not save from one session to the other.

I meet the same problem state here,
http://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=2269&p=7287&hilit=preferences+save#p7287 but the solution two have one change at the time does not work for me.
octal permits are:
120 -rwxrwxrwx@ 1 dr staff

should I change the group ?

In ini file at line 78, it points to a java script:
scripts/Pro/Edit/AppPreferences/ShortcutPreferences,
where is that stored ?

When opening a new tab, previous tab is renamed by the new opened file.

Hi,

if I use the “Print current view” tool for a Landscape format - everything works just nicely!
If I use it for a Portrait print - the scale is way of.

For this example I used a rectangle as reference. The details what I’m looking for are captured with same sized red rectangles. The Paper orientation was changed before I used the Print command. To have the maximum view I select the rectangle and used “Zoom to selection” - then Print to current view.

Portrait, scale way of:
Husky-2017.09.25-03.png

Portrait, manual adjusted - it should look close to this one:
Husky-2017.09.25-04.png

I attache for testing the dxf too.

1. print preview
2. button “print...” → dialog doesn’t open, no crash, no warnings

last console output:

Debug:    Print.prototype.printPage: rect:  QRectF(-40.0395,-149.529 168.2x237.8) 

I compile git/trunk on FreeBSD, and the print dialog does not come up.

I tried the obvious fix in scripts/File/Print/Print.js:

  if (RS.getSystemId()==="osx" || RS.getSystemId()==="linux" || RS.getSystemId()==="freebsd") {

But that didn’t work.

Maybe the test is better if reversed ?

  if (RS.getSystemId()==="win") {
      // slot 'dummy' is never called:
      Print.printDialog.open(this, "dummy");
  } else {
      Print.printDialog.exec();
  }

(PS: This should be “Operating System = FreeBSD” but that’s not in the pull-down menu)

Just started using v.3.4.2 under Linux Mint 14. To begin with I could not print my drawing in color. Worked out that this was due to the default printer setting (driver hpcups 3.12.6) which was Draft Grayscale. My drawing printed in color fine when I changed this. I believe that it ought to be possible to set this from within QCAD, but the dialog “Print>[printer]Properties>Advanced” is blank. Has it been disconnected somehow?

Print option “Auto fit pages to drawing” broken.

The Print Page Borders option does not switch to lay-out blocks

Windows 7 - 64

Via - edit>drawing preferences or Application preferences>print page set up, it seems to make no difference setting the page orientation to either “Portrait” or “landscape” because when you go to print preview the set up you previously set doesn`t overide and set the orientation “set buttons” in print preview, so you have to manually set the orientation for the page you want to print from here (in print preview) regardless of the previously “preferenced” set up.

Print preview not fitting paper.
Have not found away to correct even after deleting ~/.config/QCAD/QCAD3.ini

... in dependence to the used Units.

I have notice this behavior a couple times before but wasn’t sure what is the trigger for that. Now I figured out one (I’m sure there are more) scenario which shows the effect:

New drawing,
Drawing preferences;
Drawing Units:
Meter,
Meter,
Metric,

Printing Page:
ISO A4

Print Preview:

Auto fit drawing to page - fails to calculate the scale,
Auto fit pages to drawing - fails also ...

Counter test:
same drawing - change Paper Unit to mm,
Reset Paper size to A4 ...

... and it works flawless

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.

Print preview marks drawing as modified

1. File → New
2. File → Print Preview
3. File → Close

The print preview (options tool bar) is still opened, can’t be closed and stays forever there, even if a new file is opened.

Hi Andrew

When I Print or save as PDF the paper settings don’t seem to be working....
The output file does not match..

Frozen window in print preview.

To exit only possible with the Windows Task Manager!

Not sure: Bug or feature request. However - it’s right now confusing

It would be nice if the scale format list would respond to the “Measurement System (for line types and hatch patterns)” setting.

If my setting is Metric:

1:1

1:2

1:5 etc etc

If my settings is imperial:

1”=1”

1”=2”

1”=4” etc etc

- Draw a rectangle, say 100 x 100 (I use mm unit, but does it matter?)
1
- Turn on print preview
- Turn off print preview
- OK
2
- Turn on print preview
- Set scale 1/10
- Lines are thicker now, this is good
- Turn off print previw
- Lines stay thick in model view, should that be so?
3
- Set layer 0 to use dash as line-style
- Turn on print preview
- Looks OK
- Set scale 1/10
- Dashes hardly visible, looks almost like a continuous line

In the end of 2,3 a way to reset line width display in model view is to cancel scaling in print preview, ie. turn on print preview, set scale 1:1. I suppose this is a regression since TP1: model view always is unscaled.

The line-width scaling is quite accurate now: Draw two lines 10 mm apart. Set line-width 0.5mm. Set scale 1:20 and the lines exactly touch.

Print preview settings are not saved if one change the drawing without closing the preview

1. create 2 new drawings
2. switch both to print preview
3. set the scale in the actual drawing to 1:5
4. switch to the other drawing
5. switch back
6. the scale is still 1:1

Centers based on size of entire drawing including invisible layers.
Should only center based on visible layers.

Print preview: auto center / scale

page tags / page IDs never shown

when changing the window focus, the paper in the print preview disappears and doesn’t come back anymore

Add the possibility of printing a part of the drawing. This is vital on large building plans.
