2498QCAD (main)Bug ReportLowLight/dark mode UI colours depend on OS theme when QCAD...Assigned
0%
1 Task Description

On macOS 14.1 and QCAD 3.28.2, the state of the OS (light or dark theme) affects some of the QCAD colour palette for the life of the session. So far I’ve noticed the problem with the keyboard shortcuts in tooltips and text in the command line output, but there may be other instances of the problem.

To reproduce:

1. Set the OS to light mode.

2. Start QCAD. Note the keyboard shortcuts in the tooltips are optimised for a light palette.

3. With QCAD still running, switch the OS to dark mode.

4. Note that while most of the QCAD interface switches to a dark mode palette, the keyboard shortcuts in the tooltips do not.

A similar behaviour is observed when starting from dark mode and switching to light mode.

I hope that makes sense. See attached screenshots for examples.

2533QCAD (main)Bug ReportLowSurveyor's units never seem to display when selected as...Assigned
0%
Task Description

I've tried several times to try to see what the "surveyor's units" option of the Angular Dimensions format in the UI preferences will display as, but all it ever seems to do is cause the angle measurement to become blank. No angles are displayed whenever this mode is selected.

Indeed, I cannot figure out what the setting actually does besides causing angles to never be displayed.

Is there a way to make this setting do something meaningful or is it just broken?

I found an old forum thread from 2016 about this same issue and it sounds like the same things is still happening since then.

I'm not a surveyor so I have no actual practical use for these units that I can yet see, but I just figured I'd add an report to the bug tracker here in case any developers aren't aware that the bug still seems to exist.

Does the setting do anything besides changing the displayed units in the status bar?

2538QCAD (main)Bug ReportVery LowWeight 2.11 French translation typoAssigned
0%
1 Task Description

Andrew,

When switched to French I detected a typo in the drop down box for Lineweight.

Weight 2.11mm is listed as 1.58mm {2.11m?}
https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/ts/qcadcore_fr.ts#L1228-L1229
Also see attached image file.


May I ask why only ISO types have a comma instead of a point in French.
The use of a comma is uncommon in the Property Editor even when that is the native decimal separator.
I also detect an extra space between the value and ‘mm’ and that only for the ISO types.

This only occurs in:
https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/ts/qcadcore_fr.ts https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/ts/qcadcore_pl.ts https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/ts/qcadcore_pt.ts


Probably not OS or QCAD version related.

Upon activating the Polygonal Area Tool either by clicking on the toolbar or by the IR keyboard shortcut the tool will persistently draw a polygon without clicking anything. This happens with the mouse and the trackpad on the MacBook Pro. This was happening in 3.29.3, and then after I upgraded to 3.29.4. The MacOS version is 14.1 Sonoma.

2547QCAD (main)Bug ReportVery LowBlock > Purge Unused Blocks > Removes _DatumFilled bloc...Assigned
0%
1 Task Description

Andrew,

The _DatumFilled Block used by Datum entities (DT) is considered as not used and is purged by Purge Unused Blocks (BP).
There is no block association for these special types of arrowheads in QCAD.

After purging the Datums are not immediately updated but the special arrowheads will eventually disappear. Adding new Datums will not fix that.

Not problematic because the _DatumFilled Block is re-created on save/reload when Datum entities exists. Datums are updated.

Probably not OS or version related.
Related forum topic: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=10694

Best solution would be to support different types of arrowheads and all related:

2556QCAD (main)Bug ReportLowWin11 Printing Orientation Issue: Landscape >>PortraitAssigned
0%
Task Description

Andrew,

Related topic: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=10649

Already two different users report that Landscape is printed cropped in portrait format, both Win11. The behavior change occurred recently.
Although the second user (rdtsc) reports the same behavior for latest Mabox Linux (Manjaro, Arch.)

Can not replicate that on Win7 32 bit nor on Win10 64 bit, both are no longer or not updated OS. For one, I have no orientation setting displayed in my printer dialog.

It seems not to be related to the QCAD version:
Reported for:
- Win11 QCAD Pro 3.29
- Win11 QCAD-CAM 3.27.8.0

2391QCAD Community EditionBug ReportLowFix Dark Theme for LinuxAssigned
0%
Task Description

The dark theme for Linux is broken:

- Some icons have dark background (expected) and black foreground color (that should be replaced by white of very light gray)
- Some icons have light background (not cohesive with the theme).
- The command history shows dark blue font on dark gray background.
- The grid’s ruler shows black font over dark background for the numbers.
- The icons folder is missing in the GitHub repository, but other themes have that folder.
- The general icons (open, save, and so on) are not dark theme friendly. A better approach for maybe all the themes would be to use something like the breeze icons pack for LibreOffice, and it will have the added benefit of making the app look more modern.

The icons issue is the biggest problem. They should probably replace the black color for white or very light gray. Even the red accent color is not ideal for dark themes, is not the main issue.

Attached is an image that show the problems and another that shows LibreOffice with the Dark Breeze theme for reference.

2405QCAD Community EditionBug ReportLowDimension scaling not workingAssigned
0%
Task Description

I’m using QCAD Community Edition 3.27.7 on Windows 11.

When I started my drawing, I was able to change the size scale factor of (existing) dimensions using “Edit/Drawing Preferences/Dimension/Dimension Settings/Size scale factor”. However, suddenly this feature stopped working and now I cannot switch the dimension scale factor any longer.

I used this feature to be able to adapt the scale factor of the dimensions when printing in different scales.
I.e. all my drawings are in “original” size but when it comes to printing, I print some parts in scale 1:2 (in which case I used to set the size scale factor of the dimensions to 2) and some parts in scale 1:10 (in which case I used to set the scale factor of the dimensions to 10). Using this procedure, the dimensions have the same size (font size, arrow size, gaps etc.) on both drawings.

I have attached the drawing, that shows the described issues.

Hi Andrew,

Still working with and on CAM HPGL for the HP7580 pen plotter.

I have added a penplotter test drawing, that might be used for testing en callibrating plotter and pens. You may add it to the Examples-directory.

QCAD has a lot of trouble creating toolpaths and exports. Much too often it shuts itself down, or gets stalled. Why? I am not sure.

2558QCAD/CAMBug ReportLowOffset trajectory path issue with circular Lead In/OutAssigned
0%
Task Description

Andrew,

Please refer to related forum topic:
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=10724#p44206

An eighth circle with radius 8 Lead In/Out relates to nothing in the actual exported cutter trajectory.
Nor does it with the edge being cut.

Proper examples and a comparison with ‘Extension’ type Lead In/Out included.
Conclusion: IMHO connecting the cutter trajectory and edge being cut is wrong.

It looks a lot like turning on Cutter Compensation (G41/42) while the motion is circular.
But that is uncommon because most controllers can not cope with this motion.
One can increase the offset gradually along a straight pre-entry segment for turning on G41/42 but not along a circular path.
Also see snippet:
- Pre-entry C→B turning on G41
- Circular Lead In B→A
