QCAD Bugtracker

command preferences (application preferences) work one time if close, then need to close and open qcad for new preferences.

In QCAD Pro, I found that setting the application preference to disable “Text above dimension line” does not transfer to new drawings.

My setup:
QCAD Professional version: 3.28.1.0
Date: Mar 30 2023
Qt version: 5.8.0
Compiler version: gcc 4.8.1
Build date: Mar 30 2023
Revision: ca7ec144abd203d2a68ca91c0ff0684868ba08a5

OS: Xubuntu 23.04
Kernel: 6.2.0-25-generic
Resolution: 1920×1200 DE: Xfce 4.18
WM: Xfwm4

Demonstration procedure follows:

Fresh install QCAD Pro (no previous config file);

Edit –> Application Preferences

Under “Defaults for New Drawings”, select “Dimension Settings”

Under “Dimension Style”, “Text above dimension line” is enabled by default. Uncheck it, then press Apply button.

Change one or more other settings; for instance “Linear Dimensions” to Decimal, or the Precision. Press Apply button accordingly.

Press OK button to dismiss Application Preferences.

Quit out of QCAD Pro.

Reopen QCAD Pro. Create something that can be dimensioned, and dimension it. Label will appear above the dimension line.

Edit –> Drawing Preferences

Under “Dimension Style”, “Text above dimension line” is checked, contrary to the Application Preference setting. The other preference settings are in effect.

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.

RC1 is lazy in saving appearance to config. I noticed, because it always started with default window size. Maximizing was not carried over, also the panels were consistently reset.

Only when eg. dragging the handle to change cad-toolbar width not from preferences it would write an “appearance” section to the config file.

The appearance section should be written rather sooner than later.

Andrew,

Trace Bitmap requires a selection.
QCAD stalls when the first entity id is not an RImageEntity .

The prevImageEntity.getFileName() in the beginEvent will throw an exception for all but an RImageEntity.

The odds are against us that in a multiple selection an image is the first id.

I think you need to filter on image entities like later in the applyOperation function.

Strange behavior when adding a simple angular dimension between two lines.
Command:dimangular shows in Command window, but there are no prompts displayed to select first line or second line.
If I proceed and select the first , then second, the Dimension Arc Location: prompt appears and the dimension is properly added.

See:
http://www.ribbonsoft.com/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=1734

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.

Angle dimension shows always arrows instead of architectural ticks.

“check for updates” works at boot even though unchecked in application preferences.

When defining block attributes, the default text alignment is center.

I changed this to align left and copied an attribute (ctrl + C) and then pasted (ctrl + V) fourteen times.

As I opened each one up with the editor to change the tag information, I noticed that every copied/pasted attribute definition had changed to align right.

I purposely set the first one back to align left and copy/pasted it a few times. Each paste had the attribute text set to align right again.

OS: Linux Mint 18.3 [64-bit]
QCAD Pro: 3.19.1.0 [64-bit]

Aligned dimensions are not displayed correctly after loading. Definition point and text position are set to NaN.

Hi,

tested with back_plate.dxf (QCAD Tutorial Example)

Drawing is original mm, metric, A4. Printprewiew works, Autofit Drawing to page etc. works as expected!

In Drawing Preferences: Changed settings to inch, imperial, Ansi A
Printpreview works but options like
“Autofit Drawing to page” and “Autofit pages to drawing” are not working as usual ...

Went back to mm etc - everything works again as expected.

I’d try to use my qcad today, but cliking the qcad icon had no use. Opened an terminal window and executed whatever was in the icon properties, and it said segfault. Yesterday it worked. There have been an update inbetween, bash have been updated among others.

I’d have dumped uname -a to an file and enclosed it.

I’d have set the severity to critical, cause I’m not able to start qcad at all.

Please ask for any information you need.

Cincerely, Sigmund

Advanced selection dialog hits a debugger statement on line 1088.

1. Selection- Advanced Selection
2. Change first combo box to “Any”

Tested on CE and Pro. Alfa value on load is always 255 ...

Please refer also to topic:

In previous versions I was able to add a diametric dimension to an arc or circle that is part of a block in the overal drawing.
When I try this now, the pogram resonds “Entity is not an arc or circle” the radius dimension gives the same error.
This is unfortunate, because typically dimensions are on another layer in the overal drawing.

In scripting hatchData.addBoundary can use any shape, but only some actually produce something useful, eg. this fails silently:

"ANSI31"

Shouldn’t an exception be thrown?

The attached file should result in two overlapping circles, it does not, it results in a single ellipse.

The “<circle ... />” directive seems just be ignored in this case, but in other instances I have seen it result in ellipses.

And the “<ellipse ... />” directive should of course result in a circle, when rx and ry are the same.

Create new drawing.
Add new layer (Layer 1)
Layer 0 still selected (highlighted) but new entities drawn on Layer 1

Very best

Add layer: new layer should be active one

1. new drawing
2. draw line
3. select it
4. choose “+” in property editor to add a new layer → the layer dialog pops up
5. press cancel
6. move the mouse back into the drawing area

'layer'

The Active Tool tool bar doesn`t stay re-docked in QCAD 3 Final.
Please see topic:

On the current version of QCAD (used on a M1 MacBook Pro) you can set a keyboard shortcut timeout which I have set to 5000, 5seconds is ok to press two keys and press return. However I find this this method of selecting the command line is not consistent, its selection time varies from approx 0.5sec up to 5sec which leads to incorrect command selection.

To get around this at preset I use a mouse click to select the command line which works every time.

An option not to use the keyboard time would be better so the space bar selects command line, return key executes and closes or Esc cancels and closes selection

Hope you can look into this

The Help→About dialog ceased to pop up or otherwise work; instead, there’s this debug message printed to the console:

This also pops up one time at application startup, as far as I can tell, just before the main window starts to get mapped.

I suspect it was a79f70, that’s when setCustomProperty() and friends changed.

ECMAScript engine (garbage collector) crashes on Mac OS X and Linux 64bit if QCAD binary is compiled as a 64bit binary.

I just installed 3.12.5.0 (3.12.5) on a Dell Latitude E7250 (8GB RAM, i7-56000 CPU, 2.6GHz, Win 7 Pro 64 bit OS).

Started working my way through the user manual, tried to save a new file as ‘example’ and QCAD (64 bit Pro) crashed. Tried a few times with Save and Save As, empty files and a simple rectangle and it crashed every time.

Removed and re-installed the 64 bit version - same problem

Downloaded, installed 32 bit version as work around - works fine

Yes, I had the ‘look for upgrades selected’ and ticked in the dialog. I only acknowledged the available update through the forum announcement made!

If you pres the “hatch icon” then the word “hatch” appears in the command window, but. . . nothing happens.

But if you type “hatch” followed by “enter” then finally the Hatch Window pops up.

Windows 7-64

3.1 beta - No reference manual found.

In 3.0.5 using windows 7-64 and windows vista.
After selecting to use any drafting tool - either arc, circle or ellipse, polyline etc. there are problems with defining the second snap point onwards whether using auto snap or any of the snap tools,the info feedback i.e. End or Middle etc... is flickering or none at all.

Test:
1.Center, Point.
2.Define center.
3.Hard to define point, flickering occurs on graphics feedback for label.

I`m guessing this is another Graphic display problem here.

1. load 2 drawings
2. switch both into print preview
3. see attachment
4. scale combo box shows only “1:1”
5. switching drawings does not update options tool bar from drawing but drawing from options tool bar

I am continuing my testing on version 3.0 Final.

I noticed that, with 3.0 Final open, the service “syslogd” (on OSX Leopard PPC) does get CPU consumption up to 100%, making the machine unusable.

This has never happened with the RC2 version.

It’s possible to have a copy of RC2 while they investigated the problem? Unfortunately I have not kept a copy.

There are patches in attachment.

Also, the way the state of radioButtons is saved on Qcad3.conf is rather confusing.

Exemple :
Two radioButtons _cr_i and _cr_x are in the same QWidget.
- check _cr_i
- validate the form with OK
- reopen the form, check _cr_x
- validate the form with OK

the config file reads

[_myPlenum2]
VisibleInMenu=true
...
_cr_i=_cr_i
_cr_x=_cr_x
...

On next form run, even if I select _cr_i, the radiobutton QWidget always takes the value of _cr_x.

Linux Mint -64

(De-)Select Polygon - No Mode buttons/Icons showing

(CU) Convert Drawing Unit (inch, mm etc) to none fails with the message “Warning, Unit “None” selected. Nothing to be done”.
In the same drawing I can change the Drawing Unit below “Drawing preferences/ Drawing Unit” to None without any problems.

Version 2.1:

Managed to use “Snap to grid” as the item was precisely 100mm or 120mm, but had it not been a precise multiple of 10mm there would have been a problem.

Thanks.

Right now the “Select Contour” feature behaves like a “Select each and every connected line”.
I think that was not the intended purpose, so I report this as a bug.

I tested it on a honeycomb structure and instead of selecting just the outer contour it selected also every line inside the structure, which were connected to the contour.

In the latest QCAD Community Edition source code (2.0.5.0-1-community), the wrong action is triggered for the “pa” keycode. Specifically, it triggers the basic draw line command. Here is the relevant code from qcadcmd/src/rs_commands.cpp, in RS_Commands::keycodeToAction:

  } else if (c==tr("li", "line")) {
      ret = RS2::ActionDrawLine;
  } else if (c==tr("pa", "parallel")) {
      ret = RS2::ActionDrawLine;

I believe this should instead be:

  } else if (c==tr("li", "line")) {
      ret = RS2::ActionDrawLine;
  } else if (c==tr("pa", "parallel")) {
      ret = RS2::ActionDrawLineParallel;

temporary solution: changed method to non-line

I tried to hatch an area and the Reference Manual said all entities can be used but it doesn’t works at my example. Did I missed something?

The test drawing shows at the top the goal with exploded polylines. At the bottom I have rectangles (Polylines, drawn with the Rectangle tool) what is unfortunately not working.
