I have the german Version of QCAD 3.0.0.
After starting QCAD I load my current work file (an architecture one).
After loading I get two working Areas in QCAD and after a while the complete Software QCAD (only QCAD) is hanging. It is not possible to close the QCAD SW with the task Manager of Windows 7. Only to log out helps to Close or remove the running SW. The attachment Shows a Screen copy. The view is when you see through milky glasses to QCAD.

I bought this SW a few days ago and then this happened. I have spend a lot of time to generate my Project and now this.

Is there any one who knows what the Problem is?
Is that a Problem of thw QCAD SW or can be the problem my current work file (generated with QCAD on my Notebook). Note, Problem happens on my work Station. I have started to work on my Notebook, but i found out that the Screen is to small to work with QCAD. So i moved the SW to my work Station. (Both working with Windows 7) This to get more Details abou the handling and whathappens before.

Would be great to get a quick Response or better a working solution for my Problem. When you need more details please let me know.

Hello!

intensive work in QCAD 3.4.7 pro leads to crash it after 30-40 minutes.

Console output (OS Debian jessie):

Could not allocate register file: 12
./qcad: line 18: 6266 Segmentation fault LD_LIBRARY_PATH=”$DIR” “$binary” -style plastique “$@”

Hi,

I have just updated my Mac OS from 10.9.2 to 10.9.4. QCAD 3.6.2 seems to be working normally under the newest version of Mac OS, but has developed a very specific bug which leads to reproducible crashes when a text object is edited.

Steps to minimally reproduce:
1. Open QCAD
2. Create a text object
3. Place the text object on the canvas
4. double-click the text object and edit its contents
5. click OK to accept changes
6. repeat from step 4 three or four times.

After several attempts to edit a text object, QCAD will crash with EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) in thread 0 (QCoreApplication).
The crash can also be triggered by moving the text object around on the canvas (instead of editing its contents).
The bug does not require anything else (no other objects on the canvas, no particular font, occurs in both new and previously saved documents).

Apart from this bug, QCAD seems to work fine on OS X 10.9. The text editing crash did not occur before the latest OS update. No other applications on my system seem to be having any problems. If this problem can be fixed, I think QCAD will be quite usable on 10.9.

See also related bugs in:
 FS#1091 

Under OS X 10.9.4 I often experiencing a crash with QCad-Pro 3.6.3 when using the mirror tool. It’s repeatable to roughly 90% , just do it a few times and it will crash.

In this report I have included the crash trace from OS X as well as a simple example DXF file (a house gate) which can be used to repeat the crash. Just do a vertical mirroring a few times and the crash will happen.

It usually happens more if you choose “Keep original”

While not quite a showstopper I would consider this something that really needs fixing ASAP as it could mean data loss (which happened to me).

Hi,

I have a nice minimally reproducible bug on QCAD v3.7.4 on Mac OS X 10.9.5 (Mavericks).
QCAD will segfault whenever I take the following steps:

1. Open a new document
2. Create a leader object (D,E) in the default ‘0’ layer. Leave its style and color defined by the layer, as per default.
3. Create a new layer, with a non-default line style or color. The line weight & layer name do not matter.
4. Select the leader object previously create
5. Open the property editor and assign the object to the new layer just created.
Every time, this will cause QCAD to segfault on my machine. The crash report is attached.

Another minimally reproducible path to the same error is to do the following:
1. Open a new document
2. Create a leader object (D,E) in the default ‘0’ layer. Give it a custom color and line style that over-ride the layer defaults.
3. Create a new layer, with a non-default line style or color. The line weight & layer name do not matter.
4. Select the leader object previously created.
5. Open the property editor and assign the object to the new layer just created.
6. Still in the property editor, switch the leader object’s color back to ‘By Layer’.
The same segfault will occur.

It seems that the crash is triggered by the action of changing a leader object’s color (and/or line style) in a manner that requires the object to check the containing layer’s default color and style. You can achieve this by either changing the object’s layer, or switching the color and style from being custom defined to ‘by layer’, as long as the selection requires the line’s appearance to change.

Any thoughts? My machine’s crash report is attached.

Hello,

This is my first real bug report so please advise how i could provide more useful information.

I am not certain if the severity is correct.

The bug: segfault when creating a spline with a dashed linetype or opening a file containing one.

The bug isn’t present with the dwg extension installed

Steps to reproduce:
1. create drawing
2. create spline
3. set linetype to dashed
4. crash

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new drawing and fill it with some contents that’s easy to distinguish, for example text “DRAWING 1”.
2. Save it as dr1.dxf
3. Close it
4. Open dr1.dxf
5. Edit it, for example change text from “DRAWING 1” to “DRAWING 2” 6. Save changed file as dr2.dxf
7. Close it
8. Open dr1.dxf (it should have content “DRAWING 1”)
9. Open dr2.dxf (it should have content “DRAWING 2”)
10. Close tab dr1.dxf
10.1 Qcad will ask you to save changes.
10.2 Press “Yes” –> nothing happens, dialog doesn’t disappear.
10.3 Press “Discard” –> dialog disappears, tab gets closed
10.4 Tab that has content of file dr2.dxf (”DRAWING 2”) remains open but gets title “dr1.dxf” (!)
11. Close tab
12. Press “Yes” in dialog that asks to save changes

Results:
1. Open dr1.dxf
2. Open dr2.dxf
As you can see, both files have equal contents (”DRAWING 2”)

Expected results:

1. Files have their own contents.
2. Dialogs asking to save files disappear when checking “Yes”, “Cancel” or “Discard” 3. Tabs don’t change titles and associated file names when other tabs are closed.

Just installed (31 jan 2015) on Win 7 64 bit. Two bugs are immediately apparent...

 bug 1 : Network drives are not listed in the file open or import dialogs - no way to access files stored on networked drives. (This is not a windows configuration error- all my other apps work perfevtly ok.)

 bug 2 : After about 5 minutes of initial exploration immediately after installation a window pops up... Trial Expired: The trial add-on CAM is no longer active (restart required).

Note: I do have neither of these problems on Windows XP (32 bit) which I installed yesterday

- Select line
- Modify > Explode

After the first time I have saved a file from QCAD to the USB stick, the USB stick becomes read only.

Highly inconvenient as one then needs to copy over the data and format it again.

- Create new empty drawing
- Make layer 0 invisible or lock it
- Dimension > Leader
- Set start point

Create spline through point P.
Create zero length line at P.
Snap to P → crash.

When scrolling quickly, the entire canvas flashes white (some kind of video buffer issue?). This includes the rulers, but excludes the scroll bars and the corner fillet at the top-left between the two rulers. Frequency of flicker is linked to speed too - the more you scroll the fast the flicker.

I’ve marked the severity high - obviously this is not a functional problem, but the strobe effect is causing headaches and may have negative affects for people with illnesses triggered by flashing light. Even with the background set to white, the flashing is still severe - when the background is set to black, it’s unbearable.

Using a Mac Pro (10.10.3) with AMD FirePro D300 2048 MB graphics and dual displays. Happens on either of the displays. Was using an August 2013 build with the issue - just upgraded to latest build and have same issue. Didn’t experience this on previous/older Mac Pro (running 10.8), so suspect it’s an issue with hardware or OS version?

Hi,

In ‘Application preferences, Draw, Text’ fonts can be selected.

There is a mixing up between fonts (the appearance of characters on screen) and code tables (what digital code is used for each character).

‘ISO8859-11’ is the 8 bit Thai (!) code table and not a font
‘Unicode’ is the 16 bit code table and not a font.

For downward comptability QCAD should use default font Standard (ISO3098) with code table ISO8859-1 (US-ASCII Latin-1).

Missing file Qt5XmlPatterns.dll in Windows 64bit release.

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

Opens an Autocad .dwg file happily (Pro version x64). Allows you to make changes, when you go to save (or save as), you get the “Invalid symbol table name”.

It should figure this out when file is opened and squawk immediately.

Would be extremely useful to get some additional error details that might allow one to diagnose and fix the problem. i.e. “Invalid symbol table name: _” with the name of the offender.

I tried removing unused blocks, no joy.

When trying to select the innermost square (created as a polygon) - Qcad immediately crashes.

Selection can be either a box select or by clicking on the polygon.

This happened with the latest (3v15.5.0) QCAD/CAM Pro on Linux
I have not attempted to verify problem on windows.

QCAD crashes when you perform the following operations:

1. Create Polyline with just one segment.  
2. Delete the node with DELETE NODE(S) command.  
3. Press ESC several times.
(-> QCAD crashes..)

The main menu bar does not allow any selections, there is not even an underscored shortcut character shown.

Hi Andrew,

I am trying to ‘HP pen plotter’ a test file, created by AutoCAD 10.

Saving the in QCAD loaded file goes fine. However, the tool table is empty now.

Trying to make a new tool 1 Errors it exists already but does not show up in the tool table.

What do I miss?

Import of a block from a file from file - import or its related icon does not place anything on the drawing or add it to the block list.
When you open the command, the import drawing dialog appears as well as the options tool bar. Whether save as block is checked or not, nothing happens and the options tool bar closes when a file name has been selected and open is clicked on the import drawing dialog.

Dragging and dropping a file on the main screen still works

Hello, I found a bug.

See the problem2.png.

Original file: 004.dwg.
After converting pdf by dwg2pdf. The file is 004.pdf. I can’t find any drawings. I scale the pdf reader to 6400%.
But the drawings are still too small.

This is my using command: .\dwg2pdf.bat -f -a -recompute-dim -ltscale=1 path

Relative to https://www.ribbonsoft.com/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=1965

I suggest that if dwg2pdf have an new options that can convert all the blocks to pdf.
Now, I need to know all the block names before converting.

But if I put qcad on server, the computer won’t know how many blocks in the dwg and their names.

For examples:

There are 4 blocks in dwg.block1, block2, block3, block4

Command line: ./dwg2pdf -block-all path

Result: block1.pdf block2.pdf block3.pdf block4.pdf

Good afternoon! I have a suggestion.

Relative to https://www.ribbonsoft.com/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=1964

I did not find option -max-lineweight.

Include file was open when using ‘Edit Block In-place (BB)’ in an other drawing.
Happend on 5/1/2021 just before 2:56 am
https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?&t=7945#p31055

‘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

CVH

Recursion in move, rotate, mirror, stretch of viewport entity.

If I draw a ‘control points’ spline, it draws fine. If I draw (or open a file with...) ‘fit points’ spline, then that spline type wont’ display. (see attached video)

* If I ‘select all’, then the fit points will display/highlight; however, the spline itself does not display.

Post all kind of layout issues for the book “CAD Instruction” here, e.g. overlapping text.

when changing the window focus, the paper in the print preview disappears and doesn’t come back anymore

Move cursor near spline, e.g. when drawing line with auto snap active.

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

Changing the unit of a drawing can make QCAD hangs

• Mile: QCAD hangs in endless loop
• Nanometer, Microinch: view turns white, at some levels of zoom, it turns gray
• Foot, Yard: GraphicsView grid too small meshed

Autosave

Make interval configurable
Enable / disable
Path (?)

• draw → line → snap coordinate
• draw → line → snap polar coordinate

'setButton'"Set"

problem: the option tool bar isn’t show at all

• a script would be great actually. then we can generate different drawings with different units / scales / paper settings
• OdWriteEx from OpenDesign creates something similar: a bunch of rectangles, each with a text label and an entity inside, e.g. “Aligned Dimension” and below a rectangle with an aligned dimension inside

• the example drawings should contain:
  • an instance of every supported entity type (line, arc, circle, all dimensions, block insert, text, hatch, solid fill, ...)
  • lines in all available widths
  • lines in all available types
  • lines in all available (fixed) colors and some custom colors

• script should be able to generate example drawings for different:
  • units
  • drawing scales
  • paper sizes
  • paper settings (background color, multi page settings, etc.)
