Please attach the DXF file, thanks.

Laco 2021-03-07

Here comes the file.

andrew 2021-03-08

Thanks.

I cannot reproduce the problem here.

When opening the file, the text is "¾èýáíé ôúäò". That is the text string saved in the file. However, if I change the text to "ľščťžýáíé ôúäň", save and reload it stays like that. I've attached that file. Please try to load on your system and post the result. Thanks.

Reinstallation of QCAD did not help. I, however, am not sure how to get new - clean - installation as some settings remained the same after removing the program and restarting the PC. Maybe this is a special case for Slovakian environment.

Yes, could be. Can you post your system info under
Help > About... > System > Locale

Thanks.

Unfortunately, this appears to be an OpenDesign bug in the OpenDesign libraries 4.x. It was fixed in the 20.x version, however, that version contains another bug which cripples splines on load. So it's the choice between two bugs.

Laco 2021-03-12

So what is the next step? Shall we wait for new version of OpenDesign or is there anything to be done from our/my side?

andrew 2021-03-12

You could downgrade to QCAD 3.25.2 which uses OpenDesign 20.x and has the problem with loading certain types of splines instead. Note that these splines are relatively rare and cannot be produced with QCAD itself.

Laco 2021-03-12

OK I can go a step down for the time being. Will this issue be followed/solved in future releases?

andrew 2021-03-13

The spline regression is in their system, but hasn't been fixed so far. Unfortunately, there is no way of telling for us when this will be addressed.

Laco 2021-03-14

I think that the only thing to do is put this on hold, wait for OpenDesign and hope that this issue will be addressed soon.

andrew 2021-04-08

The OpenDesign spline regression has been fixed for OpenDesign version 22.4, so we hope to be able to update OpenDesign soon.

Laco 2021-04-21

Checked with version 3.26.2.0 - issue persists.

andrew 2021-04-21

Note that this will be marked as "fixed" when it is fixed.

Laco 2021-05-27

How can I check this?

Updated to 3.26.3 - same issue with Russian language - test file attached.

Laco 2021-06-03

Seems to be fixed for Slovakian environment in 3.26.3. No changes after saving and reopening the file.

einsfr 2021-06-04

Update 3.26.4 has fixed this for Russian text too.

andrew 2021-06-04

OK, thanks for the feedback.
