It would be nice if we could use the Stretch tool also on blocks.

There are so many possibility’s to build a really good (time-saving) block-list /library with preassembled parts but if I have always to explode / ruin the block to use the stretch tool doesn’t helps the productivity.

hello. if i use the tool on my own drawing, no problem, but on an element coming from the library, the blue selection square appears, it moves but the chosen shape doesn’t follow. i’ve tested several ways and even by creating a block. cordially

bonjour. si j’utilise l’outil sur mes propre dessin, aucun Souci, mais sur un élément de venant de la bibliothèque, le carre de sélection bleu apparait, ce déplace mais la forme choisi ne suis pas. j’ai teste plusieurs manière et même en créant un bloc. cordialement

The stretch function does not work at all. I tried it in the old version 2.2.2 where it worked.

Test case:

In Windows, set up say 2 or 3 new blank drawings.Then close them down one by one and notice the behavior when closing these drawing windows down!

Status change for Visibility is without any effect on Viewports in Paper_Space.

Case:
Entities drawn on a layer in Model_Space. Visibility on/off works.
Situation covered with a Viewport, placed in Paper_Space, Edit content launched for that Paper_Space, Visibility on/off doesn’t works.

It was properly working in previos QCAD versions ...

- Launch QCAD-Pro 3.26.4.13, Status Bar is off by default
- Set menu View > Status Bar on
- The Status Bar is showed but the menu options remains unchecked
- Quit QCAD-Pro
- At launch QCAD-Pro opens with the Status Bar toggled off
- Set View > Status Bar on (or issue GS from command line)
- At the next launch the Status Bar is off

Note: the preference StatusBar in the .ini file has the value “false” when it should be “true”. Changing the value manually to “true” makes the Status Bar appear just for the next launch of QCAD then the preference is reset to “false” by QCAD.

- Deleted the .ini file, same behavior
- Changed user, same behavior
- Tried on MacOS 10.11.6 (El Capitan), same behavior

It could be very useful to have in the status bar area - input fields for typing in X and Y position, Distance and Angle etc...

For example these could be used instead of entering absolute/relative coordinates in the command line.

1.Draw line.
2.Start point - enter in X Field.
3.Next point - enter in Y Field.

This method could also be used for specifying positions when placing other entities.

For me I tend to use a combination of the command line/GUI for most work but I think for those who do not wish to use the command line this could be useful.

Then QCAD exits (does not start). As far as I remember, 3.23.0.2 release was fine.

Having a multi selection and at least one ‘older’ arc the startpoint indication in red of some entities might disappear.

Entities that suffer from this are:
Other arcs
Polyline
Splines

Only the ‘oldest’ arc in selection will have a startpoit indication.
Multi selection of ‘newer’ entities from the list above will not if an ‘older’ arc is part of the selection.
Deselecting de ‘older’ arcs will reveal the startpoints up to the ‘oldest’ arc.

In the file provided entities where drew in order from left to right.
Select all and start deseleting arcs from the left.

The behaviour is affected by changing the draw order property and a save/close/open.
In the second file the rightmost arc was set to draw order 7, the same as the 4th was.
After save/close/open it is renumbered to 8 and the behaviour is different as in the firts file.

Hi,

If you open an old qcad drawing thats DXF and edit text, the popup window shows “Main Font” as empty.

If you do not set the font and complete the edit, it will change the font from the standard to what looks like an Arial font.

If you set the font as “standard” during the edit, each time in future you open the editor it does at least have standard selected.

Ie if no font is specified in drawing, should it not select “standard”?

Using the move and scale tools, QCad sometimes (reason unknown so far) crashes in RC4 (never seen that in RC2).

Would it be possible to use the Split command on Ellipse or on Spline curve?

Now it works on lines, arcs and circles only.......

Break up spline at given point, break out segment, etc.

Set up a spline with control points let’s say of the order 3.
Clone it 3 times with some offset in x&y.
Edit the degree property and set 1ste to 1, 2nd to 2, aso
Draw select partially from right to left.
Those of the order 1 and 4 aren’t selected.

Closed splines (Control points) are saved as “not closed” with a new knot (when DXF is closed and re-opened).
Is this behavious intended ?

Imported splines which typically represent lines, circles or arcs (explicit knot vector given) are sometimes wrongly identified as invalid by the OpenNURBS library.
This results in splines that are loaded and displayed correctly but are not selectable.

Hi guys,

I’m trying to create an spline to a complex library component, but it seems splines are not working properly. I would appreciate some help. These are minimum scripts to demonstrate the problem:

Example 1:

include("scripts/simple.js");

function TesteSpline() {
}

TesteSpline.init = function(formWidget) {
    if (!isNull(formWidget)) {
        TesteSpline.widgets = getWidgets(formWidget);
    }
};

TesteSpline.generate = function(documentInterface, file) {
    return TesteSpline.criarCorpo(documentInterface);
};

TesteSpline.generatePreview = function(documentInterface, iconSize) {
};

TesteSpline.criarCorpo = function(documentInterface) {

    addSpline([[0,0],[20,30],[100,100],[110,120]], false); // it doesn't work :-(
    addLine(0,0, 100,100);  // it works!!!

};

Example 2:

include("scripts/library.js");

function TesteSpline() {
}

TesteSpline.init = function(formWidget) {
    if (!isNull(formWidget)) {
        TesteSpline.widgets = getWidgets(formWidget);
    }
};

TesteSpline.generate = function(documentInterface, file) {
    return TesteSpline.criarCorpo(documentInterface);
};

TesteSpline.generatePreview = function(documentInterface, iconSize) {
};

TesteSpline.criarCorpo = function(documentInterface) {
    var addOperation = new RAddObjectsOperation(false);
    var doc = documentInterface.getDocument()
    // Spline
    var cavaData = new RSplineData();
    cavaData.appendFitPoint(new RVector(0,0));
    cavaData.appendFitPoint(new RVector(10,10));
    cavaData.appendFitPoint(new RVector(30,30));
    cavaData.isClosed = false;
  
    // It doesn't work
    var cava = new RSplineEntity(doc,cavaData);
    addOperation.addObject(cava);

    // it works
    var textData = new RTextData(new RVector(2,10),new RVector(2,10),0.4,0.4,0,0,0,0,1,"Hello","Arial",false,false,0,false);
    addOperation.addObject(new RTextEntity(doc,textData));

    return addOperation;
};

1. Draw Spline from fit points
2. Mirror spline
3. Save as DXF/DWG
4. Load into 3rd party application
5. spline shape changed

Reconstructing the mirrored spline from scratch maybe used as a workaround.

I can not add or remove Points to existing Spline

After saving an open designed Spline QCad will open it the next time as a closed spline.
Trying to fix this in the Property Manager using “Closed Periodic yes/no” leads to an open but broken spline.

Pic 1 = designed
Pic 2 = saved/opened from HD
Pic 3 = Try to fix this with the Property Manager

Splines produced by Illustrator are not correctly imported or displayed.

See:
http://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2344

While editing a spline with fit points, I accidentally moved a fit point on top of another fit point, which locked up the software (grayed out, not responding). I had to ctl / alt / del and end task to resolve.

I can’t find any documentation (Reference Manual / Book) about the possibility to change the “corner” transition shape for Spline’s (Control Points) with multiple mouse clicks.
1, 2 or 3 clicks = smooth to sharp corner.

In the feedback info for 3 Tangents (CT3) there is a spelling error!

‘tree’ instead of Three is used.

Many thanks Andrew for your input on task  FS#2359 .
However there were two other issues mentioned in the first task that seem to have been overlooked.
Italic text appears and disappears as I zoom in and out and if I try to insert italic text it will not show as italic on screen. Also when I try to insert an ‘ohm’ special character I only get a ‘?’ question mark.
Apologies if I’m doing something silly !!
Regards
Richard

Hi,
First of all, thanks for this wonderful product !

My issue : when I modify (at file level) some parameters like the number of decimals in cotations, or the linethikness of a calc, these modifications are lost after saving and reopening the dxf. It comes back to the default values. It is not the case for the colors for instance.

At your disposal for other informations.

It may be useful to implement the fade function in solid hatches, as present in the image options

Split from  FS#465  by Stefan:

After more testing, it seems that a solid triangle causes trouble, perhaps correlated to Z-coordinates and the property editor.

Attached you find a dxf example file with only 7 objects. Three noticable cases:
- Selecting all and change Selection in the property editor to “Solid” flips to “No Selection” although objects selected.
- Selecting all and change Selection in the property editor to “Line” shows “Length” and “Angle” in Geometry with “*VARIES*” values although only one line is selected.
- Selecting all but the solid object (6 objects selected now), everything works as expected, in particular Selection “Line” shows valid values (and Z-coordinate 0).

I hope this helps, please give instructions how to help if necessary.

Windows 7 -64
snapshot 3.0.3 - tool input fields showing ' Expression is empty ' , even after inputting values.

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

Intersections between polylines and XLines (infinite lines, contruction lines) cannot be found in some situations.

• Create block with text entity in it
• Insert block reference
• Snap tools snap to endpoints, centers, etc. of text entity shapes

Snap to reference points does not work for arc entities as one would expect.
The four points on the arc at angles 0,90,180,270 should be reference points (like for circles).

Wenn ich versuche einen Block zu verschieben mit dem Ziel “Intersection manual” wird nicht die im Block ausgewählte Linie benutzt sondern alle im Block befindlichen Linien die eine “Intersection manual” ermöglichen würden.

Auch die visuelle Auswahlerleichterung einer Linie (Farbe ändert sich beim drüberfahren mit der Maus) wird im Block nicht unterstützt :(
