All Projects

I have been working with a file in 2.2 which I then opened with beta 3. All seemed to be well for a couple of days. Today the application closed itself. When I restarted and tried to load the file it came up duplicated. One tab showed nothing, the other showed my drawing with blue lines and the tab headers (file name) were identical except that the ‘blue line’ tab had an asterisk after the file name indicating that the file had been changed. Highlighting a ‘blue line’ element showed the properties with colour white.

I’m running 64bit Ubuntu 11.04. ‘Blue line’ file attached. Any quick way to change the blue lines to default white?

Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit.
Image imported into drawing in layer ‘pictures’.
Layer ‘pictures’ hidden.

QCAD 3 beta displays the image when zoomed out so that the whole drawing is visible within the working window.
It ‘disappears’ when the zoom is taken in such that the drawing exceeds the window display.

When the layer ‘pictures’ is visible the image behaves as expected, i.e. always visible.

This manifestation happened after I had loaded an existing drawing, made modifications, then used print preview and adjusted the scale to fit the paper.

The file was closed. Upon reopening lines designated as .25mm were unusually thick such that two lines 2mm apart appeared as one solid line. Placing the cursor over the line showed it was comprised of two lines.

Changing the properties of a line to make it thinner did not help with one exception and that was to set the line thickness to default, when the two lines became visible.

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.

When opening a multi layered file, which has been saved in a previous version with some layers turned off, the following happens:

The file is loaded, all layers are shown as switched on.
The view contains only those layers that were switched on when previously saved.

Repeatable

If the file is loaded with all layers turned on, then saved (all within beta3-2)
then upon reopening:-

The file is loaded and the layers are shown with status as saved.
The view is as expected showing just the ‘on’ layers.

If all the layers are then switched on, the view is unchanged.

In File>PDF Export save a file with the same name in the same place as a previously saved pdf file.

Issue 1
Note that there is no alert to indicate that an attempt to overwrite is being made.

Then use the close preview button and navigate to the top panel file menu.

Issue 2
The usual drop down menu does not work. All other drop down menus do work.

Version 3.14.0.0 (3.14.0) 64bit

I have become used to selecting a line or shape, looking at the Property Editor, selecting the layer list and if appropriate changing the layer.

However since at least 3.13.1 The list shown is not wide enough to read the name of the layer although the colour block can be seen.

Using the bold function (button) in the text editor causes transaction fail on new text entries. Emboldening selected text on existing text shows bold in the editor but this does not carry through to drawing or print preview views.
