QCAD Bugtracker

Hi!

it occorred to me now several times, that I have been working on 2 or more files simultaneously when suddenly on some operations layers from one file showed up in the other file. nothing was pasted when it happened just many files open, or few files with many layers in them. (about 100 layers, but sometimes also only 10 layers)
Today I disabled a single layer in one dxf (A) which caused all layers of the other dxf (B) to show up in the layer list (and the layers that should show up were all gone).

I knew this already from 2 more occurances and tried the best to undo all my changes in (A) before “emergency saving” (A). I closed one of the two dxf files (A), leaving one open (B). Everthing seemed pretty normal again. Then pressing the “hide all layers” button just crashed qcad without any message. That crash on “hide all layers” happened twice today). I can’t reproduce the crash right now, but will add details here when I find something. As far as I remember the bug occured already in qcad 3.17, but I’m now on 3.18.1

thanks :)

Selecting “Draw” and “Insert Bitmap” from the menu shows file dialog “Import Bitmap” for a split second and then crashes completely with segmentation fault.

Running Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS with QCad3 rc2.

Console output:

Conversion of certain files leads to crashes (segmentation fault).

See:
http://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=2501

Opening a file which is (by accident) write only results in QCad crashing. Read only or read/write files are opened without problems.

As write only files do not make much sense, this should not come up too often...

Pendant la création d’un plan le logiciel se bloque, puis une boite de dialogue Windows apparait : “QCAD a cessé de fonctionner”.
Après validation de la fenêtre le logiciel se ferme et toutes les modifications non enregistrées sont perdues.

When creating a plan software hang, then a dialog window appears: “QCad has stopped working”.
After validation of the software window is closed and all unsaved changes are lost.

Rename Courier.cxf font, correct courier in imported QCAD 2 files

Split from  FS#465  by Stefan:

Copy+Paste with paste in a new drawing results in Z=-13.6... which caused the problems of pattern-hatch and select-impossible.

I have 3 DXF files and I want to merge them all into 1 single file, so I copy/paste the first, copy/paste the second but for the last it’s impossible because QCAD paste the wrong copy. More I try and more the result is weird

Would it be possible like in AutoCAD and Draftsight, to copy (from CSV or TXT) into the command line of qcad a table with
vectorpoint to built up a Spline in QCAD ?

Sample:
Spline
10.5,10(LR+CR)
20.8,20.4(LR+CR)

and so on

this text would than paste into the command line, and works like a macro.

Will be very helpful to generate a Spline where the vectorpoint had been calculated with for example “Excel”

- Copy two block references of block “circle” which contains one circle
- Paste into new, empty drawing
- Pasted block “circle” contains two circles

Copy / paste: convert units

- copy: copy drawing unit to clipboard
- paste: convert pasted entities from clipboard unit to drawing unit

1. load the attached file
2. select about 20 lines
3. Ctrl-c
4. Ctrl-v

Entering a coordinate (e.g. 20,20) results in direct distance entry instead (angle from relative zero to mouse pointer, length 20).

Coordinate input broken.

The coordiantes (in the lower left corner) freeze while mouse is moving. Updates as soon as the mouse is stopped.

This slows me down considerably. I have to stop, wait (too see the coordinates), move, stop, wait, move back, stop, wait, move, stop wait... This gotta be a bug?

To have a tool that could convert splines to polylines would be useful, particularly for laser cutting work where a nice steady flow is needed, otherwise you can get an erratic ‘jumpy’ movement when cutting..
Maybe a ‘two’ step procedure;
1.First convert to arc/line segments.
2. Then if needed convert to a continuous polyline.

If you select (line) segments in a visible yet locked layer and choose “convert segments to polyline” (OG), the segments are deleted, but inserting the polyline fails.
So you can easily destroy locked layers by mistake which contradicts the idea of locking layers.

Select a polyline
Right click on it to show context menu
Set new position of start point
Tool stays active and does not properly terminate

Context menu does not show an entry to “Delete Node” for the first node of a polyline.

Using context Menu - Break Out Gap not working

Tools not working from context menu in paper space.

Context Menu suddenly stopped working ?

Yep, tried everything I know of, can’t get it back.

Provide context menu that shows “Change preferences”

1. opens the preference dialog
2. shows the appropriate page

E.g. for

• library browser (to set library sources)
• graphics view (to set colors)
• ruler (to set drawing unit)

Construction lines (’infinite’ lines).

Hi,

Using the Copy and Move command the [ ] Use current layer and attributes’ is confusing.

Perhaps [ ] change copy /moved set to current layers and attributes. is more suitable.

Configurable icon size for top toolbars

Enable / disable individual snaps for use with auto snap.

Complex linetypes not shown in line type choice

Complex blocks: moving with drag and drop shows whole block as preview (slow)

Complex blocks: moving does not update spatial index correctly

Complete loss of data in file doing this:-

Open a file with multi layer content.
Delete a layer (in my case this happened without any ‘are you sure’ checks, a bug in itself?)
Attempt to save the file.
An error message reports disk full or no permission. (disk not full and I logged on as normal)
Close QCAD beta3
Open QCAD beta 3 and attempt to load file. Error message reports no permission or unrecognised format.
Close QCAD beta 3

Open QCAD 2.2 and load file.
File loads ok but has default layer (0) only and no content.
Using Ubuntu ‘Properties’ file is reported as having a size of zero bytes.

I am following the instructions for compiling qcad from source

http://www.qcad.org/en/component/content/article/78-qcad/111-qcad-compilation-from-sources

I am using fedora 24 and qt4

git clone https://github.com/qcad/qcad

cd qcad
qmake-qt4 -r this step ok
make release this step fails

If the order of blocks in a DXF R12 file is:
- block 1
- block 2
And ‘block 1’ references ‘block 2’, the import fails since ‘block 2’ is not defined at the time ‘block 1’ is imported.

A new toolbar that shows the last 5, 10 or so commands buttons used would be useful to do repeated tasks on a lot of drawings.

Hello,

since 3.17.1 (also on 3.17.2.0) it’s impossible to insert “@” in commandline, so it’s impossible to work with relative coordinates in all funktions like rectangle, line etc.
Please do a fast Bugfix, I need that functionality for workflow urgently

Unable to use space bar to focus on command line to type in commands etc as in Version 2. Need to click in the command line first in order to do so - much easier to use press space bar!

Many times, after pressing the space bar to access the command line, accidentally an space character is added at the start of the line. It’s very difficult to see it.

The result is an error like this:

Invalid coordinate or distance ' @20,20'.

The request is for the command line parser to just ignore leading spaces.

Thank you.

@ sign cannot be entered into command line on German keyboards on which Alt-Q has to be pressed to enter @.

This is a Qt/Linux bug which interprets Alt-Q as part of a shortcut starting with Q.

Workaround: change shortcut of Reset tool from QQ to something else, not starting with Q.
