As you see, the width of lines are wrong.
Please follow the red arrow in problem9.png.

If a block is created with entities from different layers and then one of these layers is hidden, the block disappears. I would expect that only that specific entity disappears.

Include file was open when using ‘Edit Block In-place (BB)’ in an other drawing.

‘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

The rulers/ruler ticks disappeared after updating to 3.28.2.4 for Mac.

Hello
the message: The ORDINAL 3906 was not found in the LIBEAY32.dll dynamic-link library. is displayed each time QCAD is opened.
How to fix this problem
thanks in advance

UI and combo boxes are not localized.

There is patch in attachment with fix for ui, but not for combo boxes.

Texts in CAD fonts with characters for which no glyph is defined report a wrong bounding box which always includes the absolute zero point. This makes the spatial index ineffective for drawings containing many such texts (typically complex drawings from international users).

Sorry - can’t give you a proper way to reproduce it .... it just happens.

Dimension Arrows shown with reduced contrast, zoom in/out can trigger it but not always,
text hight jumps from “correct” to way to small to a kind of mixed size display,
DIM preview fails often in size - probably depending on zoom factor ...

Snapshot Version: 3.24.3.4
Edit: Issue occurred first with version: 3.24.3.2

Text: white text shown as white on white in text dialog

See: aeg_koe_1_H0_A.dxf

Switching CAD font creates wrong space to previous text block.

Example:

A\FStandard|c0;B

Space is too large for small texts, too small for large texts (does not scale with text height).

First reported at:
https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=8289

Text: non-breaking spaces (\~) at beginning of line does not indent.

See aeg_koe_1_H0_A.dxf

If I customize the Text height I get redundant Infos for the Contents...

- enter the text A1 and format the “1” as subscript and with a different font size.
When you click OK, it will be something like: AH3.571431;
I have to manually edit it (source tab) to AH3.57143;S^1;

Grundsätzlich finde ich die Optionsauswahl beim erstellen oder editieren eines Textes im “Text Option Window” als sehr Komfortable.

Trotzdem gibt es hier für mich noch einige Ungereimtheiten die ich als Bug bezeichnen würde da es untypische Informationen liefert und verwirrt.

QCad, English, XP, Text Optionen Window:
Im linken Bereich gibt es den sogenannten “Main Font”. Dieser kann aber nicht unter Application/Drawing preferences vorgegeben werden, richtig? Hier würde ich mir wünschen das ich diesen vorgeben kann und es somit ein “Default Font” wäre. Für Bemaßungen benutze ich z.B. eine Vorgabe von 0.137795276 inch (= Deutsche DIN 3.5mm für Texthöhen) und bin Heilfroh das ich dies als Default vorgeben kann ;)

Im rechten Bereich des Text Options Windows kann ich im “Rich Text” Tab den Text formatieren - grundsätzlich eine schöne Sache.
Leider verwirrt mich dieses Fenster immer wieder:
Fallbeispiel:
Text erstellt, individuell formatiert(Textfonts, Höhe, Farbe), positioniert in der aktuelle Zeichnung.
Doppelklicke ich den Text um ihn zu editieren poppt das Optionsfenster auf und der Text ist markiert. Im Text font wird mir gesagt das es der Text Arial ist mit einer Höhe von 1 und schwarz. Da ich aber NICHT Arial verwendet habe und die Texthöhen unterschiedlich sind und alles in rot ist dies eine falsche Information.
Hier hätte ich erwartet: Font = *VARIES*, Höhe = *VARIES*, Farbe = *VARIES*. Klicke ich dann mit der Maus in den Text (Markierung verschwindet, Cursor blinkt im Text) habe ich immer noch die selbe Info - erst ein zweiter Klick spuckt dann die richtige Info aus.

Zurück zum Main Font: Wie nutze ich diesen wenn ich bereits andere Formatierungen verwendet habe - neu eingeben? Gutes Gedächtnis vorausgesetzt Spaß bei Seite: Sollte dies nicht eine Vorgabe sein die “auf Knopfdruck” verwendet werden kann?

Und da ich neugierig bin .... wofür ist die Option “Simple Text”?

Text: empty lines do not cause enough line spacing

Text: alignment: simple text starting with spaces or ending in spaces is not aligned correctly.

How to reproduce the issue:

1. create a dimension
2. in it’s “label” field enter any string with sub/super script, for example: t\Sc^;
3. save and reopen the file
4. the dimension shows correctly the string but its label only the normal text, for example: t

Note that if the button “Use auto measurement” (next to the “label” field) is pressed, the real measurement is showed along with the sub/super script, which now can’t be removed.

Happened somewhere between ab3e02 (works) and 67516a (doesn’t work).

In 67516a (current HEAD), when I attempt to launch the Text tool, the following is printed on stderr:

Warning:  Script Exception:
 "ReferenceError: Can't find variable: RTextBasedData" 
Warning:  "<anonymous>()@/tmp/qcad/scripts/Draw/Text/TextDialog/TextDialog.js:838"          

The Tool options toolbar does appear and it can be interacted with. The Text tool does not appear at all (and text input in the Toolbar can not be placed either).

In ab3e02, the Text tool works as usual.

Hope I got it right this time – several clean builds have been made to double-check results.

Text - Only simple text is possible. Checked or unchecked option “Simple Text” will not change this. Reboot QCAD after changing shows also no effect.

Text with subscripts (e.g. “S\S^3;”) is display incorrectly with the latest version on both Mac OS X and windows 64-bit.

The subscript (”3”) is displayed before the normal text (”S”).

I have been using subscripts to indicate electrical switch types on my blue prints.

It appears that superscripts are also being displayed incorrectly.

Original topic: “ugly text strings in a draught, after Visio 2003 AutoCAD file conversion”

Hello!

I have a Visio2003 mnemonic, and I tried to convert it to AutoCad file format (interchange and other), but this conversion makes ugly any text string in a result draught, like this (look at the attached QCAD.png):

 "\fArial|b0|i1|;Насос шнековый (для откачки осадка)"
 "\fArial|b0|i1|;сборный" 
 ... and so on.

I tried to open result draught in a DraftSight - it works with strings fine, there are no ugly string on the screen.
If I try to open CAD files created by DraftSight in QCAD 3.4.6 - I have an ugly text strings too.

A process of manual corrections of this ugly text strings in QCAD is very very laborious, I think, you need to make a some new instruments to automatic conversion strins like this “\fArial|b0|i1|;сборный...” to strting “сборный...” by checking some postions in your new instruments and clicking “Apply” button.

Thanks.

If text is selected together with an entity or entities, and then scaled, the position of the text relative to the entity is not maintained. The text size does scale correctly.

This means that the (scaled) text has to be moved to the same relative position as before scaling. This does not happen with a couple of other 2D programs I have checked.

Text position of texts in blocks wrong.

Dear Sirs,
I have found that QCad 3 does not properly handle the X and Y coordinates of the texts.
In fact, when I open an existing DXF file (AutoCad 2007÷2010), the texts are placed in different coordinates than the original file.
With version 2.2.2 QCad this problem is less obvious.

Sometimes the text of a dimension (that is in a block - just a suspicion of mine) will not get rotated. I do not know why this.text.getAngle() sometimes returns a wrong value, but there is a simple workaround: always rotate the text with the dimension:

The labels of dimensions in PG exporter are moved half text-height. Thats a bit much, and actually, no such movement looks more true to the display of same in QCAD itself.

Hello,

I am stage manager and I have been using QCAD PRO nearly every day for 2 years now.
But since yesterday it seems that text is not saved within the file : when I reopen a saved file, text doesn’t show up. Do I miss a setting ?
I currently run Mac OS X Mavericks but there haven’t been any issues with this OS for months.

I deleted the app and prefs and tried out with 3.6.0 (which I don’t use because it often quits brutally), and also the free version of 3.6.4
But the issue still the same.

As I use this app for my work, it is very annoying not to be able to use text !
Thanks for your help

Done

- Create text with non-breaking space (\~)
- Edit text
- Text displayed with  
- Click OK
- Text in drawing displayed with  

1. create text, font Arial
2. edit text
3. change only bold / italic flag in text dialog
4. no change in edited text

when editing text which contains the degree symbol the proper escape sequence is \U+00B0
Qcad 3Beta3 replaces \U+00B0 with %%[dD]

1. open text dialog
2. select some characters (for coloring)
3. click on the “color” button → a pop up windows appears showing all colors
4. don’t choose a color, but click somewhere outside the pop up window

'chosenAction'"color"

Remember last used settings (text size, font, ...)

Text dialog: default tab should be ‘Rich Text’

Custom text height cannot be set (enter closes the dialog, tab does not activate the entered text height)

Changing main font in source editing mode reverts changes made to text.

bold / italic check box for main font has no effect

Qcad under linux appears to be suffering a slow memory leak to the point it chomps 1.8GB on my machine and the swap grinds to a halt.

Can you advise what system info you need and I will get.

Stop QCAD, give it 20-30sec to clean up and its back to normal.

Looking over the past 30 min in System Monitor, Startup 0.1GB, 30 mins in, 1.2GB, close all tabs open (3 off) and back to 1.1GB.

May relate to 646.

Control Text is Displayed on Drawing created in ACAD.
The Text is representing /p as a new line when I think it should be ignored.
See QCAD PDF I am unsure what this represents in ACAD. /pxqc;

V3.0.0 Windows 7 64-bit

The control characters, such as bold, italic, superscript/subscript, of a Text are displayed explicitely in the drawing. Thus, one obtains not the required appearence of the characters in the drawing.
This occurs when i use QCAD3 in Windows Vista or in openSuse 12.2 on a 64 bit laptop.
If instead i use QCAD3 in openSuse 12.2 on a 32 bit laptop, then characters are displayed in the required appearance. (However, on this laptop i have the reported difficulty in selecting fonts).
If i change back from the drawing to the text editor, then also the texteditor displays the text together with explicit control characters, and not in the original required form.

I prefer the Breeze Dark color scheme as it find it less stressful on my eyes, however it’s unusable with QCAD where the Command Line prompts and responses are rendered as a very light grey on a white background. I believe the proper fix would be one (or both) of:

• Make the Command Line area background follow the desktop scheme. (It appears that the text already does so, hence the light text, but since the background doesn’t it becomes unusable.)

• Provide a configuration option for the text and/or background color used in the Command Line area.

Screen shots are attached showing both Breeze and Breeze Dark schemes.

Since the new QCAD 3, it is not possible any more to use “enter” in text boxes. The “enter” is always replaced by another symbol, which makes it impossible to have a long text string as a unit - like it always was in QCAD.

Could this please be fixed? It makes text control difficult.

• copy actual drawing to required (Tab “Results” context menu)

All such functions in the api seem to be use the spelling Linetype (with lower-case t) while every function call in the test code does use LineType instead.

Report is for version 3.7.5 as it was the only version I found to download on the qcad.org webpage.
Sourceforge also didn’t seem to have any downloads and while I found a few dxflib clones on GitHub, none seemed official or up-to-date.
But maybe I’m just blind
