QCAD Bugtracker

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.

Drawing Unit: Inch
Label Format: Architectural and Engineering

Note: Info tool calculation is correct.

I’m trying to print a large cad drawing at 1:1 scale. However, when I go into preview to select tile button, it doesn’t exit. First image is my screeen capture, the 2nd is from the online tutorial regarding printing and the button that is missing.

Circles in mirrored blocks are not exported or exported with negative radius (not shown in SVG).

If I edit a DIM regarding the fixed Extension Line Length it will fail if it has to be extended to meet the new length. Even it has failed - the Property Editor will provide from now on the new length as the “correct” value for the Extension Line Length.

Example drawing: Try to adjust the Extension Line Length to 50 ...

It seems to be an accuracy problem.
The original hatch boundaries are defined from 732 single entities.
These interconnect with an accuracy better then 1e-10 except for a gap of 0.000814 in two places.

Creating a Hatch of these entities with TA-HA is rather slow but succesfull.
After Save-Close-Open the Hatch may look different or may even be missing (=Null).

Suspected is that:
The recreation off the Hatch on load uses some other accuracy setting.
The outer boundary is not found and only some inner ones are considered as outer.

But that explains not why it looks fine after initial creation.
Nor that the outcome of a retry may vary.

A hatch might move instead of being stretched if the hatch is partially inside the stretch area but the visible hatch pattern does not intersect with the stretch area or only contains points.

The new QCAD feature “dimension label color” will change the label color at existing drawings to “Custom”.
In my opinion it should be by default “by Layer” until the user decide to change the color by him/herself.

QCadPro - MacOS Mojave (10.14.6)

Version: 3.24.3.0 (3.24.3)

Compiler: Clang 10.0.0

In the attached .dxf file is a simple drawing (a wooden deck). In the layout space (of A3 size) there are two viewports (one of the frames and one with the decking).

In the left viewport a spurious enlarged part of the block “stolpe” (eng. column) has appeared in the exported PDF (not visible in either the layout nor the model space). See attached .PDF where it is clearly visible.

So it seems that the interaction of blocks with viewport triggers a bug.

Create dimension with fixed extension line length.
Set scale to 2.
Save / Load or Reload.

→ Extension line length no longer fixed.

See the steps to reproduce in the attached drawing.

QCadPro (snapshot, but can be reproduced with 3.24.3 as well)

OS: MacOS 10.14.6
Version: 3.24.3.8 (3.24.3.8)
Build Date: Jun 3 2020
Revision: 828df3a
Qt Version: 5.13.2
Architecture: x86_64
Compiler: Clang 10.0.0

To reproduce:
1. Add some text to a drawing
2. Double click on the text to open the text-edit dialogue
3. Select all text, change font, press OK

Expected behavior: The font has been updated

Actual behavior: The font seems to visually change in the edit box but as soon as you press OK to close the dialogue the text on the drawing is not changed. Viewing the text with the font information (via properties) it can be seen that the embedded font information has not been updated.

Workaround:
- Select text and edit the properties

Case:

Drawing unit = inch,

Dimension Label Format set to Engineering or Architectural,

- Create hatch with pattern “ANSI31” (or other).
- Move cursor along boundary with auto snap
- Auto snap finds intersections between hatch pattern and boundary or other entities close to the hatch boundary

I can’t print from Q-cad in Win 10 latest update. Q-cad says it has sent it to the printer but does not print.
To make it work I print to a PDF file then send it to the printer. I was able to print prior to the update.

I have checked and rechecked the settings in Q-cad as well as my Firewall and printer. All other programs print ok.

I tried printing from my Win 7 computer and all works fine.

Please advise.

Trim, or round do not work between the green line and the magenta arc. The line properties do not report the length correctly.

Info - distance reports the distance between the end point of the magenta arc and the start point of the red arc as .1534. the Property editor reports the green line length as .257.

If the length of the green line is edited to .5 inches then trim and round work properly, and the green line length is reported properly. The other line/arc intersections have been edited in this manner.

Double hyphens in text entities lead to double hyphens in SVG comments which is not valid.

The property editor offers for an Angular Dimension the option to make a fixed extension (yes/no) but the input field for a length is missing.

Take any random drawing (as far as I can tell), select (at least) one object, then export to PDF. The “highlight attribute” (for lack of a better word) of the object will unexpectedly be exported.

When exporting a drawing into PDF and printing externally the correct linetype is shown by printing from the
Model_Space. Printing from Paper_Space the linetype is always continous.

I didn’t notice this problem before 3.25.2 but I’m noticing that the rectangle tool defaults to selecting a solid fill. I haven’t found a means to change this default setting. The Polyline tickbox behaves as expected (remembers your last choice).

Windows / Linux

Upgraded from 3.24.3 to 3.25.2 on lubuntu 18.04
QCAD/CAM hangs during startup, but managed to get it running by renaming libqcadgles3d.so to libqcadgles3d.so.orig.
Don’t understand why 3.24.3 still works ok without having to do this.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks.

Hi,

I have purchased QCAD Pro (3.25.2), the minimum the software can save is R18 when i set at Application Preferences - File - Open/Save.

When i make my drawing and wanted to save to R15, there is notification,

The file format version you are using is not recommended: “R15 [2000/LT2000]
DXF drawing [OpenDesign] (*.dxf)”.
Custom properties will not be saved.
All black entities and layers will be saved as white.
All custom colors will be adjusted to the nearest fixed color. Proceed?

I need to save to R15 as my cutting software can only detect R15 drawing at max.

When i save to R15,

My drawing will have 1 line that become a huge circle, making my machine cannot cut as per drawn by me.

Can you help me in solving this R15 issue on QCAD 3.25.2 so that it can save to R15 properly.

Crop marks in Paper_Space are only printed if a Viewport covers the crop mark position.

A solid fill hatch works as expected in the attached file and prints OK, but after saving the file and reopening, the hatch has disappeared.

XLine entities are not split up correctly into rays and a line at the rectangular edge.

Case: Tested with the example drawing provided below:
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=7776

If I select every single entity piece by piece with the mouse pointer the total length is correct.
If I select everything in once with a rectangular or a polyline selection the total length is incorrect.

Under Linux the quantity is not correctly interpreted.

Good night,

I have attached three print screen. One showing the print preview mode, one showing the normal drawing mode and the last one showing the
result pdf (that looks like the print preview draw).

Thank you for your great work on this project.

Create block with attribute definition (attribute definition has lowest draw order in block).

Create block reference from block.

Modify > Stretch with area around block reference.

Block reference does not move.
