Revision:
a8039fc
Qt Version:
5.13.2
Architecture:
x86_64
Compiler:
MSVC++ 14.0 (2015)

Flytracker appears to have the same problem, as this report was rejected when I inserted the same characters into the title. Query {SELECT tag_id FROM `flyspray_list_tag` WHERE (project_id=0 OR project_id=?) AND tag_name LIKE ? ORDER BY project_id} with params {1,} Failed! (Illegal mix of collations (utf8_unicode_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8mb4_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation ‘like’)

MacOS Sonoma, 14.1.1. MBP M1. / 3.28.2

When using SV / RO commands and using the checkbox to ‘use the mouse’ for scaling / rotating, then that setting is not retained at the next use. So every time the command is executed, a mouse move to check the box must be performed.

I can not add or remove Points to existing Spline

Printing / PDF export with crop marks enabled fails with Qt 6 packages macOS on M1/M2/M3.

RSpline::getLength crashes in some cases. Bug in OpenDesign libraries OdDbSpline::getDistAtParam.

Hi, I’m new in QCAD.

I need to print some drawings amd the decimal separator is a ‘?’ instead of ‘.’.

Mi versión is QCAD 3.28.2.0, revision a8039fc, Qt version 5.13.2, architecture x86_64, and the OS is Windows 10.

How can I solve this?

Thanks

Using XCODE15, QCAD fails to compile. The error shown:

In file included from include/spatialindex/SpatialIndex.h:251:
include/spatialindex/MovingRegion.h:155:34: error: no template named ‘binary_function’ in namespace ‘std’; did you mean ‘__binary_function’?

Per Apple’s website, binary_function are no longer provided in C++17 and newer

As explained in this forum post.... https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=10520

File > New from template does not show the dialog and shows a spinning wheel instead.

From the looks of it the cursor image data is read at a wider pace as it is stored.
One can distinguish the double cross positioning QCAD cursor but it is shifted.

Exception in CAM simulation when previewing tool position.

When screen-based linetypes are enabled, the zoom box width depends on the zoom level and can get very wide / thin.

Context menu of dimension text label line edit widgets offers a <> entry which does not insert <>.

Label position is only reset on reload / entity regeneration.

Affected tools: Insert Bitmap (keep proportions), Rotate (by mouse), Scale (by mouse).

If nesting preference “Place small parts into holes of other parts” is disabled there may be fewer solutions or no solution if rotations is set to 1.

When using PDF Export I see different lineweight to using dwg2pdf. See Different lineweights PDF Export vs dwg2pdf

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.

The option “true scale” has no effect, projected result does not use true scale.

Clicking “Set to Printer Margins” has no effect.

I’m seeing only a partial hatch in the shape. See here for details.

The last version (3.29.4) present a very important issue.
When we work with a “complicated” file (about >1MB or up see attachment test.dwg) the cursor and selected object not work fine after move some layout windows in Paper_Space: disappear coordinates informations and snap nodes. (see attachment before.png an after.png)
This issue is present in all Qcad version (Linux, Mac-intel, Mac-silicon, Windows).
The last working-fine version is 3.28.2
I’m a enthusiastic Qcad user and I hop that this issue will be fixed early!

Andrew,

It seems that Attribute Definitions are created by default with Invisible = Yes
I can’t control this property on creation.
I can select the newly created Attribute Definition and toggle the flag.

Consequence when not updating this flag for each new Attribute Definition is that inserted Block Attributes disappear on synchronizing.
See attached files.

The default Invisible = Yes setting is not retained on save/reload.
(You will probably discover these flags to be ‘No’ in the attached files)
Synchronizing after a reload has no longer the mentioned consequence.

On inserting a Block Reference based on a Block with Attribute Definitions the Invisible flag of new Block Attributes is always ‘No’.
InsertBlock.js nor InsertBlockItem.js consider the Attribute Definition Invisible flag status when creating and inserting a new RAttributeEntity object.
e.g.: InsertBlock.js L184-L206

IMHO:
- Invisible = Yes on creation is not the best default for new Attribute Definitions.
- Not retaining this flag on save/reload is probably not intended.
- Disregarding the Attribute Definitions Invisible flag on block insertion seems incorrect.

Scale value is not loaded from drawing and shown as 1:1 if the scale is stored as a number.

1) Start with a new fresh drawing
2) draw an object (e.g. Circle)
3) select Layer>Duplicate Layer
4) Proposed name “0 Kopie” is ok, and maybe change color
5) New Layer “0 Kopie” is created but no objects in this copied layer.
6) Select original layer and select Modify>Detection>Detect Duplicates
=⇒ there you find the copy of your layer content twice

Greetings,
I am a user of Alibre Design. When I export the dxf or dwg from alibre the dimensions are shown outside the sheet models.
I tried with different 2D CADs and only QCad and LibreCad give me this type of error.
Is this something known? Do I need to attach more files to understand the problem?
Thanks for your attention,
Greetings,
Francesco Ricci

Steps to reproduce
1. create entity
2. select entity
3. property editor, change color to a custom color
4. deselect entity
5. select entity
6. in property editor, choose custom color

Andrew,

Usage states:
“Default is to explode everything into points, lines, arcs and circles”

In this Forum Topic 10358 you explain to use an exclusion list:
“dwgexplode is geared towards exploding everything. You’d have to provide a list of all entity types that are acceptable (i.e. don’t need to be exploded)”

Your example list includes the entity type ‘Splines’.
Marking splines entities as acceptable or not contradicts that they are never exploded.

But in the code itself is stated:
“explode texts to splines, arcs, lines”

TTF text is indeed exploded in mostly splines and some arcs or lines if that is appropriate.

All depends on the intended behavior ...

This isn’t a real task. You should close it and start opening some real tasks.

Take over settings from old, already installed QCAD versions, if possible.

Inside the application preference dialog:

• save settings (asks for a name)
• restore settings (picked from a list that contains all so far saved settings and some presets)
• export settings (to a file)
• import settings (from a file)

Export / import could be useful for companies to synchronize settings.

Provide context menu that shows “Change preferences”

1. opens the preference dialog
2. shows the appropriate page

E.g. for

• library browser (to set library sources)
• graphics view (to set colors)
• ruler (to set drawing unit)

OpenSUSE / Ubuntu / Kubuntu: After the first start, the property editor window is (unless the layer list) floated.

A single drawing has an array of options regarding dimension font-size, printout-scale etc. It would be nice to also save Quick SVG Export settings, as can be specified in the Advanced Export Dialogue or in the Application Preferences Dialogue, with each drawing.

It is common practice in MDI apps to use the title of the active tab for the main window. Right now this is always “QCAD”. It would be better if it reflected the name of the drawing in the currently active tab.

When I save a view for print i like that wiew remember the layers open and closed.

This feature could be improved with remember print scale, dimension text size and page size

It would be nice if one could not only change the icon size of the widget panel but also the icon size of the tool bars.

Choose number of copies when using ‘snap with distance to end’.

This might make sense for certain tools only.

Select line tool (Line from two points).
Click once to start line
Click again to end line
Now press escape.
Line linking to mouse remains until mouse moved.
Should disapear when escape is pressed to show that the line has been cancelled.

With Mac OS X 10.5.8 PPC, in the Property Editor the entries are aligned at the bottom and not in the center. The strange is that in your screenshots on the site everything is correct (http://www.qcad.org/img/qcad3_mac.png). Add a picture for the problem.

In the 2.2.2 version was possible to suppress the display keycodes in menus. You can also restore it in version 3?

See attach.

If in the file’s name I’ve “/” (for ex. 2012/02/10) QCAD substite with “:” (2012:02:10). Regard the file’s name in the tab of QCAD.

In the website → http://www.qcad.org/qcad3.html
lacks compatibility with Leopard 10.5.8 PPC. I chose QCAD for this ...

In the Application Preferences (but also in the Drawings Preferences) → Dimension → Default Dimension Settings → Label Format → Linear (and Angular) Dimension → Show Trailing Zeros, the example is wrong if the option is checked.
