QCAD Bugtracker

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

Just occured recently, I cannot now export SVG files. Qcad crashes. windows 10

Tolerance input field in simplify tool has no effect.

application crashes as soon as I try to save or save as a drawing - Windows 10

Version :
3.12.6.0 (3.12.6)
Internet :
QCAD.org
Date de fabrication :
Jan 28 2016
Révision :

Qt Version :
5.5.1
Architecture :
x86_64
Compiler :
MSVC++ 12.0 (2013)

When I updated to the most latest version of QCAD I now have no library items - all gone!

Application Preferences > Defaults for New Drawings > Drawing Units

Do not save new selected value, It keeps “Inch”.

Could be changed per file in Edit > Drawing Preferences. I normally use Millimeter. I have no tested in command line / automation mode.

Error tested in:
Mac OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan
Mac OX X 10.7.5 Server Lion
Windows 10 (also with QCad fresh install)

Using two monitors where QCAD is on the left monitor with the right monitor being my laptop.
I close QCAD, then disconnect the second external monitor. If I now restart QCAD on just the laptop, it starts in a ‘virtual’ area as if the left monitor was still there. QCAD icon appears in the toolbar but there is no way to move the application back to the main screen.

When “offset whole polyline” is selected and the mouse is moved over a rounded polyline, the preview is not working at least in Window 7/8.
This worked in older versions e.g. 3.6.3.

There is an example appended with an edged inner polyline and a rounded outer one. For the inner one, the offset preview is working as expected, for the rounded one it isn’t. Tested on two different PCs, one Win7 and the other one Win8.

1. Select block to place into drawing
2. Change x-scale to 1/3, observe grayed out y-scale shows (.333)
3. Click chain to unlink x & y scales
4. Change y-scale to 1/2
5. Click chain again to relink x & y scales and y-scale box grays out but 1/2 remains
6. Block is placed using x = 1/3 and y = 1/2 even though the chain shows x & y linked and 1/2 grayed out

Application preference to show / hide scrollbars has no effect (scrollbars always shown).

Support arc length dimenions (undocumented DXF entity ‘ARC_DIMENSION’).
Create arc length dimensions with parallel extension lines for angle < 90, orthogonal extension lines otherwise.
Display arc symbol beside or on top of label text.

Block references to blocks with an origin other than 0,0 are not selectable.

Would it be possible like in AutoCAD and Draftsight, to copy (from CSV or TXT) into the command line of qcad a table with
vectorpoint to built up a Spline in QCAD ?

Sample:
Spline
10.5,10(LR+CR)
20.8,20.4(LR+CR)

and so on

this text would than paste into the command line, and works like a macro.

Will be very helpful to generate a Spline where the vectorpoint had been calculated with for example “Excel”

The very first entity drawn / loaded does not preserve its drawing order when copied / pasted.

Texts (if rendered as text not paths) and images are rendered in the background if they are inside a block.

- Create block with text or bitmap in front of other entities
- Insert block
- Text and bitmaps are rendered behind entities

Hatch boundaries containing arcs with large radii are rendered imprecisely.

Version 3.14.0.0 (3.14.0) 64bit

I have become used to selecting a line or shape, looking at the Property Editor, selecting the layer list and if appropriate changing the layer.

However since at least 3.13.1 The list shown is not wide enough to read the name of the layer although the colour block can be seen.

I have 3 DXF files and I want to merge them all into 1 single file, so I copy/paste the first, copy/paste the second but for the last it’s impossible because QCAD paste the wrong copy. More I try and more the result is weird

In Linux Mint QCAD offers no ‘Dark’ theme, not sure whether this is a bug or not?

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

If the drawing unit is set to ‘feet’ and the dimension format is ‘architectural’ or ‘engineering’, the drawing unit should be implicitly regarded as inch for the purpose of calculating dimension values. Since QCAD uses the drawing unit, the dimension values are off by a factor of 12 when importing drawings from other products.

Hello everybody,

I’m using QCAD 3.14.3 on Ubuntu Linux 64bit wit a two monitor enviroment.
When I place the option toolbar from the top of main window onto the second monitor, it’s impossible to input a distance. The cursor is missing.
Seems that the input-field is only working correct, when the option toolbar is connected to the main-window.

Hope I described the issue understandable, if not, please don’t hesitate to ask me for further descriptions...

Whould be nice to fix this bug...

Best regards

Andreas

Hello everybody,

I’m using QCAD 3.14.3 on Ubuntu Linux 64bit with a two monitor environment.
When I place the commandline-toolbar from the bottom of main window onto the second monitor, it’s impossible activate the commandline by pressing SPACE or CTRL+M. Only when I click into the commandline-toolbar with the mouse-cursor it’s been activated.

Hope I described the issue understandable, if not, please don’t hesitate to ask me for further descriptions...

Whould be nice to fix this bug...

Best regards

Andreas

QCAD3.ini may contain invalid positions for the main application windows, e.g.
[Appearance]
Position.X=-32000
Position.Y=-32000

This leads to an invisible main window after starting QCAD under Windows systems.

Modify > Trim
Choose line as limiting entity
Choose spline as entity to trim
The part of the spline that was clicked should remain but is trimmed instead

Print “Command Line” and as “Add measurement to drawing” works as expected.

Prints under Windows are offset by the default printer margins.

This is caused by QTBUG-5363, https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-5363

It would be great if the user could choose a default template for new drawings.

There exists already a “File → New from Template” feature, where I can choose a template, but in most cases I want my new drawings to be based on my default template.
It would be very convenient if there is an option to set the default template and use it for the “File → New” function.

Library items created from existing drawings should have the same unit as the drawing. Currently, the unit of newly created library items is ‘None’.

Spotted a bug with Polyline > Offset (OQ)

On the attached file (png image, link : http://nikel.ovh/~tukuyomi/oq_bug.png ), the white entity is a polyline (1 line, 1 arc, 1 line).
Using Polyline > Offset (OQ) with a big value (1100 in my case), I expect to get the green polyline.
What I have is the red one (also CPU is maxed for some seconds every time I move the mouse.)
