Mouse selection broken?

Post by mink » Tue Jan 20, 2015 11:09 am

Hello,

With QCad 3.7.5 Pro Trial I have been able to select graphic entities without problems. Now I bought the Pro version, which was delivered as 3.7.6 Professional. With this version I am unable to pick / select some objects created with 3.7.5. Drawing was saved with Format R27 (2013) DXF.

Any idea what's wrong?

Regards,

Those entities are likely on a locked layer. To check for locked layers:
View > Layer List
Make sure that the lock icon for all layers is gray, not black:

If you cannot solve the problem, please attach or e-mail the drawing file and indicate where the problem occurs.

Thanks for the fast reaction!

However, I do not have locked layers in the drawing. Maybe the following gets a little bit closer to the problem:

I exported the drawing to Bitmap - which only contained parts of the drawing.
Another effect is, that drawing elements disapear when zooming into the drawing.
So my idea was that some boxing information broke.
So I selected all entities by rectangle and moved it around.
Now, everything seems to be ok with the drawing ....
