[SOLVED] Disappearing Yellow Snap Indications (Circle and Text) After Setting Up Layout / Viewport
I have been enjoying using QCAD Professional (currently 3.29.3.0, Windows 10)!
However, I am having a (small) issue with the yellow Snap indications (circle and text) disappearing, after setting up a Layout (*Paper Space), and Viewport, and upon returning to the Model (*Model Space). Back in the Model, Snaps appear to work, but the yellow Snap indications (circle and text) indicating what you will Snap to are no longer available. Of course Snaps are turned ON, and set to Snap > Auto (SA). Closing and reopening the drawing remedies the situation, as does quitting and restarting the software.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
Steps to Replicate (executed in the attached Drawing):
- Drawing Unit, Paper Unit, and Measurement System: Meter, Millimeter, and Metric, respectively.
- Create Geometry in Model(*Model_Space): Big Rectangle containing a Small Square with Diagonals.
- Switch to Layout1(*Paper_Space).
- Click Drawing Preferences icon:
Printing > Page
Page Orientation: Portrait
Paper Size: ISO A4
Viewport Scale: 1:1
Show Paper Borders: Checked
Point Size (mm): 0.5
- Click Single Page icon.
- Add Viewport (Draw > Viewport > Add Viewport (VT)):
Select Extents of the Big Rectangle (click Upper Left then click Lower Right)
Select Scale: 1:1000
Place Viewport within the Layout / Page (click within the Layout / Page)
- Switch to Model(*Model Space).
- Use any Tool to see that the yellow Snap indications (circle and text) are no longer available, for example, Info > Distance Point to Point (IP) to measure width of Small Square.

Hi,
As if this.setCrosshairCursor(); is missing or not executed for some unknown reason.
https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/maste ... ePP.js#L54
Although that I don't know of commits to the QCAD code between 3.29.3.0 and 3.29.4 that may be related to this.
It can't be this semicolon: https://github.com/qcad/qcad/commit/9f6 ... 6bfb7844d5
Can't replicate it in an older version but I want to remark or trial something different.
You switch to the Layout Block 'Layout' what will turn on Print Preview mode with options ... To set paper options ...
... All fine but you don't switch back to add a Viewport ... QCAD does that automatically.
One can omit step 3 (Switch to Layout1) and prepare the paper directly in Drawing Preferences (Up to step 11).
Step 3 is then Add Viewport (VT) while you are in Model Space.
Now QCAD will or switch to a single Layout or ask to choose a Layout when there are more than one.
Basically a trial the other way around.
Does the Snap Indications work if you return to Model Space?
Next question: Does Escape or QQ reset the standard behavior?
Regards,
CVH

Hello,
I can confirm this is still an issue with version 3.29.4.0 on Ubuntu 22.04.4. The only way I found to recover is to close and reopen the file or restart QCAD.

I believe this is the same issue I am having. It has been fixed in the next release. See https://ribbonsoft.com/rsforum/viewtop ... 5a916f890e

Hi CVH, thanks for your reply and for everyone else's, and please excuse my delay! Thank you also for providing another way of doing things, which I have tested, unfortunately with the same results -- upon returning to Model Space the Snap Indicators never return, nor do they return after repeatedly pressing ESC or issuing the QQ command. Best regards!

Hi Husky, just installed the most recent QCAD Professional Version 3.29.4.0 (3.29.4) for Windows 10 (64-bit) and the issue persists. Not a big deal, just an annoyance having to close and reopen the drawing to remedy the situation, or to quit and restart the software, whenever I run into the issue. Best Regards!

Thanks, that looks surprisingly similar to what I am experiencing! Looking forward for the fix, and the next release. Best Regards!

I am pleased to confirm this issue has been solved in QCAD Professional 3.29.6 (3.29.6.0, Windows 10, x86_64). Thank you for the great support, and best regards!
