 2311 ECMAScriptBug ReportLow Odd self-intersection point for spline shapes Closed
100%
Task Description

Andrew,

Encountered with snapshot 3.26.4.9
On both a 32bit win7 and a Linux machine.
But probably not related to version nor OS.

The calculated area centroid position for a self-intersecting shape is invalid.
Therefor polylines and splines are checked for their self intersection nature.
Polylines with line segments require a tolerance of 1e-6.
For polylines with arc segments there is no easy to formulate value.
Reverted to something less strict than the arc connect tolerance: 1.1e-3
Refer to: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=8526&p=34056#p33694

RSpline.getSelfIntersectionPoints() has no tolerance value.

Some perfect valid spline shapes fail this test.
Not related to the XP spline approx tolerance preference.
Related to orientation, try the failing shape when reversed in situ.
Related to their position in the plane, see translated examples.

Reproducible with control point splines.
Reproducible when rotating the shape.
Such failing closed splines can be hatched and an area centroid is returned.

Regards,
CVH

 2305 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Invisible XLine under visible XLine may prevent selecti ...Closed
100%
Task Description

To reproduce:

1. File – New
2. Create a new layer (layer 1)
3. Draw an horizontal infinity line
4. Duplicate “layer 1” (layer 1 Copy)
5. Hide “layer 1 Copy” 6. Try to select the line in “layer 1”

What happens: It’s not possible to select the line in the visible layer (layer 1) if the line is present in the duplicated layer (layer 1 Copy) and that layer is either hidden or locked.

Expected: It should be possible to select the line, as the overlapping line in the other layer is hidden/locked .

Andrew,

With an CW ellipse Arc > 180° the GUI method info Arc/Circle/Ellipse (IC) in segment mode throws an exception:
Uncaught exception at :scripts/Information/InfoArcCircleArea/InfoArcCircleArea.js:210: ReferenceError: Can’t find variable: remainSectorArea

Rather a complex way to get the area of an ellipse arc segment.

There: area = majorR * minorR / 2 * (sweep - Math.sin(sweep)).
- where majorR, minorR & sweep can simply be sourced from the ellipse arc shape/entity.
- where the area is signed ... +CCW, -CW

About identical as for an arc segment.

For an (ellipse) arc sector one would only need to add/subtract
the area of triangle |StartP-CenterP-EndP|

 2292 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow Override Dimension Precision for Individual dimensions Closed
100%
1 Task Description

Some drawings, particularly with a lot of angles, results in a very decimal number.

It would be great to have the option to change the precision of individual dimensions when necessary.

Currently, the precision is universal in the drawing.

What I’m currently doing is leave the precision to zero decimal cases and manually inserting decimals when needed, but it results in a dimension with no “Auto” label, that may result in wrong dimensions on the workflow, especially when editing the project. The dimension labeled manually will not change, so it can cause errors.

 2283 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow Add a "Select Similar " command Closed
100%
1 Task Description

As a heavy mechanical drawings user, it would help a lot to have an option to select similar entities while working on QCAD.

In the flow of the work, sometimes I need to make some changes in all similar entities of the drawing.

The Select Similar works selecting all the same items with the same layer on the drawing.

Example:

I have a drawing for other company and I have to make a massive layer changing to my own layers.

I select a line and circles with a box selection, activate the Select Similar command and the QCAD instantly selects all lines and circles(no matter length) with that same layer. I can then change the layer of all of them instantly.

Or if I have a peace with a lot of circles, that aren’t in a block, in one time I want to change the layer or diameter of all circles in a certain part of the drawing.

I select the circle and activate the Select Similar command, the QCAD automatically selects all circles with the same layer and I deselect the circles that I don’t want with a box desselection and change the layers of them, or the diameter via properties.. and etc.

There is a workaround, that would be working with activating or deactivating layers, but the select similar would be a faster shortcut.

Thanks Andrew and team!

Hello, I am not sure if this is a bug or if I use it wrong way. But when I create block with two identical block attributes everything look ok.

Existing drawing:

1. e.g. flange.dxf loads with no fills (solid hatch) for arrows,
2. New dimension are also without arrow fills.
3. This existing drawing has Text above line! Setting Drawing Preferences / Dim to “Horizontal text labels” will alter Text to be Horizontal BUT also open a gap for the text which is a separate setting (Text above dimension Line). Undo doesn’t works on this properly - used multiple times will even change the dim color which wasn’t changed in this operation.

New drawing:

1. Same test scenario - same issue.
2. Dim settings = Horizontal text Labels ticked, Text above dimension Line ticked produces a dim horizontal orientated with a gap instead to put the text above the line

Polyline from segments (OG):

The CommandPrompt and LeftMouseTip both read:

The tool let us pick 4 types of entities:
... A line, an arc, a polyline and also a spline entity.

If the picked entity is not one of these 4 types we get the warning message:
“Entity is not a line, arc or polyline.”

The tool prepends/appends 4 types of entities:
line, arc and polyline entities and also spline entities approximated by arcs.

Wouldn’t it be more appropriate if the tool mention all 4 types?

e.g.
StatusTip:
“Create polyline from existing, connected lines, arcs, polylines and splines”

CommandPrompt, LeftMouseTip:
“Choose line or arc segment or polyline or spline”

Task Description

I noticed a bug while editing blocks in place. When I opt to edit in place, most of the surrounding blocks fade out properly, but some don’t. Although I can’t edit them, as they are not faded, It can be tricky to identify what is in the current block or not while editing a bigger assembly.

Another suggestion is to add a keyboard shortcut command to the “save and close”.

Otherwise, this is a fantastic feature that really enabled me to buy the QCAD and start using it professionally. In place editings are a key feature for my projects and drawings.

Thanks in advance.

IMG 1 shows my drawing

IMG 2 shows a block being edited “not in place”

IMG 3 shows a surrouding block being edited “not it place”

Tested fresh installs on several computers, including Windows 10, 7, XP. 32 Bit and 64 Bit OS and QCAD/CAM.
After removing “EnableHierarchicalLayers” or setting “true” QCAD/CAM starts up normally.

So user without knowledge of finding/editing .ini-file will lock himself out by disabling “Application Preferences > Widgets > Layer List > Enable Hierarchical Layers”

 2263 QCAD (main)Bug ReportVery Low dwg2svg -min-lineweight option parsing broken Closed
100%
Task Description

The parsing for the -min-lineweight option of dwg2svg is broken, only -w or the undocumented -minlineweight options work.

This is due to a typo in the Dwg2Svg.js script around line 225:

      properties["minLineweight"] = getArgument(args, "-w", "-min-lineweight");
      if (isNull(properties["minlineweight"])) {
          properties["minLineweight"] = getArgument(args, "-w", "-minlineweight");
      }

This should be:

      properties["minLineweight"] = getArgument(args, "-w", "-min-lineweight");
      if (isNull(properties["minLineweight"])) {
          properties["minLineweight"] = getArgument(args, "-w", "-minlineweight");
      }

Note the case minlineweight vs minLineweight.

This has the consequence that the value parsed form -min-lineweight is always replaced with the value from -minlineweight, which is usually undefined.

Since the short option -w is parsed in both cases, it is not affected from the bug.

Andrew,

Seen in al previous versions that I know of.
To recreate and merely as an example:
With:
- A polyline entity on a layer ‘polyline’ (notLocked - notFrozen - Visible)
- A hidden layer ‘exploded’ (notLocked - notFrozen - notVisible)

- Select the polyline .. DP .. XP » duplicated polyline explosion in selection.
- Set the selection its layer to ‘exploded’ by a double click in the Layer List or by Property Editor.
- Hide layer ‘polyline’ by toggling its visibility.
- Unhide layer ‘exploded’ by toggling its visibility.

The explosion is still in a dark red color.
Workaround: TA & TN

100%
Task Description

Andrew,

With an RPolyline shape.
That is trimmed by RPolyline.trimEndPoint(cutPoint1, RVector.invalid, false);
And what is turned into a null-shape having only one single vertex.
Getting the end orientation of such a shape lead to an Application Crach.

RPolyline.getDirection1(); Doesn’t fail and returns 0.0rad.
RPolyline.getDirection2(); Fails critical.

I would have expected 0.0rad or ‘undefined’ for both.

One can circumvent that with simply testing the nature of the RPolyline before getting the end direction, and this each time required.

Regards,
CVH

Task Description

In Print Preview the movable display of the printing area (white) is displayed to small which makes a multi page arrangement very difficult. You want not notice the wrong size when you print only one page but 10 pages vertical in a row will show the effect clearly. I checked a metric (mm) and an imperial (inch) unit. The deviation in Imperial is clearer than in Metric.

 2245 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Bold fonted text appears regular sized - v 3.26.2 Closed
100%
Task Description

Text that has been applied to a drawing with the ‘bold’ attribute sometimes appears as regular, un-bolded, text. When increasing the viewing magnification one will see the text adopt the bold attribute, but at smaller sizes the text appears without the bold. This can be confusing causing the draftsman to double-check whether the text had the bold attribute.

Current version: 3.26.2

Previous version: 3.22.1 (note: in this version, bolded text appeared bold at all viewing magnifications.)

Andrew,

Besides that Misc .. Information .. ‘Store Positions’ - stores the startpoint of each polyline
- or stores all nodes of each polyline (With: InfoStorePositions/PolylineNodes = true)
Refering to https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=6300

I somethimes require the midpoints of the line and arc segments as spline controlpoints
+ the start and the endpoint when geometrical open.

Could that be made an undocumented preference too?
