Task Description
Andrew,
Changing orientation of a polyline with RV or by changing it in the Property Editor clears the global width value.
Single line pieces as polyline default to CCW. Still the global width is cleared when trying to set them CW.
I didn’t update since 3.27.0 but reading this topic I suppose it still is valid. Related: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=9362

Task Description
Andrew,
Not OS or Version depending.
We can’t filter on some specific properties of polylines.
Handy would be: - Global Width - Orientation
Specific: - Polyline Pattern But I don’t really search for them ... For some post-op I just need them all to be set to ‘No’. - # of vertices Filtering the complex from the more simple ones. - Including Bulges or not To seperate polylines with arc segments form others. There some operations that don’t really work with bulging. - Z values and/or global Z This would make sense for some but filtering on Z is not common under QCAD as it is 2D.

2415 | QCAD (main) | Bug Report | Very Low | Issues with OffsetBothSides | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
Andrew,
I can’t find any documentation concerning OffsetBothSides under Misc .. Modify. It is not listed in the QCAD features nor in the changelog.
There was a Feature Request FS#1130 for this, I think you might want to close that as being implemented.
The tool asks for a Line, Arc, Circle, Ellipse, Spline or Polyline. It also seems to act on shapes that can be exploded to such entities like Text, Dimension and Hatch entities.
There may be many ‘Result loop not closed’ or ‘No offsets possible’ warnings when hovering over entities on a drawing. The preview may be partially, one or two sided and even two sided partially and closed with semi-circles.
I only successfully created a dual offset for open Splines, open or logically open Polylines. All other attempts result in a single offset at the indicated side.
There are the usual exceptions for Polylines with arc-segments but that is related to small arc segments and being tangentially connected. Only tested it on a Win7 platform. I don’t suspect that version 3.27.8 includes a fix for that ...

When we use Lengthen/Shorten (LE) with a positive amount the result is clearly visible when indicating a side of an entity. With a negative amount there is seemingly no preview. It is generated and shown but one can not distinguish it especially with solid lines.
Adding an orthogonal auxiliary preview shape some N pixels long would do the trick.

A Leader entity is stored similar as a polyline. I think it would not be difficult to reverse the basic polyline and update the dimension shape accordingly.

Task Description
Andrew,
Most probably not related to OS or QCAD version.
When hatching an area with Hatch from Segments (HS) there might be false positive warnings on open loops. It seems that this is related to the orientation of the indicated segments and the order of selection. The real problematic position is not always the first that is reported. Loop count is increased even if it is a single loop.
Included a basic test drawing to replicate these. Further details to replicate the issue are in the file.

Task Description
Currently, the model space can display lineweights at scale 1:1 It’s very convenient when drawing small objects that will be printed at scale 1:1 : it makes it easy to anticipate the final aspect of the printed drawing. But this feature is unusable for architects or users who draw large objects.
Therefore, it would be very useful to have a factor to multiply lineweight display in model space. For example : if i know my drawing will probably be printed at scale 1:50, i set the value of the lineweight factor to 50. Then every line would be displayed 50x thicker in model space.

In the included screen grab below, left is when drawn cubic, closed periodic, from 4 points. Right is when the file is re-loaded.
It is hard to select the incorrect shape when pointing near it ... Probably it is referring to the correct internal shape. After drawing it explodes to a Null length polyline with 2 identical vertices.
I can’t include the error in a file as it reverts on re-load.

Referring to this forum post: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=10152
With radii 1341.35667735 and 26 the relative tolerance is 0.00683678 and exceeds the former used fixed tolerance of 1e-4.
These arcs will then be considered to be tangent and the intersection point is 0.31024 units to the left of where we expect it.
Implemented: https://github.com/qcad/qcad/commit/77ae3e4518cc34f178779d2d2c724adcf80c229d#diff-dcc4e31eaeaed5a047f65dbce4ddda4bcd4d604e9e1005ee8481ded273768449

I had already expressed my reserves on the relative tolerance but that was already a better solution for small arcs: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=8775&p=34907#p34907
We could limit the tolerance by: A- The smallest of the fixed and the relative. B- A relative tolerance based on R2 there circle 1 is forced to be the larger one.
This will never account for the position in the plane. At a certain point the tolerance will be less than the accuracy/certainty of the values.

I also see a misconception of the term ‘precision’. Numbers precision is the amount of significant digits disregarding the position of the decimal point. 12 decimal digits is about the largest precision for numbers with 5 integer digits.

When switched to French I detected a typo in the drop down box for Lineweight.
Weight 2.11mm is listed as 1.58mm {2.11m?} https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/ts/qcadcore_fr.ts#L1228-L1229 Also see attached image file.
May I ask why only ISO types have a comma instead of a point in French. The use of a comma is uncommon in the Property Editor even when that is the native decimal separator. I also detect an extra space between the value and ‘mm’ and that only for the ISO types.
This only occurs in: https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/ts/qcadcore_fr.ts https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/ts/qcadcore_pl.ts https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/ts/qcadcore_pt.ts

1 |
Task Description
Andrew,
When we alter about any property of a Hatch entity it seems to be recreated with a newer/higher handle. This doesn’t influence the drawing order in direct. But already changing the drawing order of a Hatch it is recreated as a new entity.
It starts to matters in drawing order when there are multiple entities with the same drawing order and that after save/reload. Entities with the same drawing order then receive a new drawing order based on the original but sequentially increasing based on handle.
Because a Hatch is recreated with a newer/higher handle each time a property changes it will thus always end up above the others with the same order even when the original was created earlier.
This is more pronounced when copying/pasting entities from a source to a target drawing. The original Hatch drawing order is retained but it will always be above existent entities with the same drawing order in the target drawing after save/reload.
Most other entities are probably just updated in situ. It is unsure to me at this point if merely updating a Hatch is even possible. And perhaps this is related to the addObject ForceNew flag what is false by default.

Andrew,
One Microinch is equivalent to 25.4 nanometers and I don’t consider that to be metric.
RUnit.isMetric(this.getDocument().getUnit()) returns true for RS.Microinch or value 8.
https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/src/core/RUnit.cpp#L145-L155 Returns false for: RS::Inch ; RS::Foot ; RS::Mile ; RS::Mil ; RS::Yard ... and true for all the rest.
Also see last note in: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=9506&p=38295
Not to be confused with RDocument::isMetric() because that returns the measurement system unless that is RS::UnknownMeasurement what is rather impossible with drawings created by QCAD.

Andrew,
The _DatumFilled Block used by Datum entities (DT) is considered as not used and is purged by Purge Unused Blocks (BP). There is no block association for these special types of arrowheads in QCAD.
After purging the Datums are not immediately updated but the special arrowheads will eventually disappear. Adding new Datums will not fix that.
Not problematic because the _DatumFilled Block is re-created on save/reload when Datum entities exists. Datums are updated.
Probably not OS or version related. Related forum topic: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=10694

A tool which actually removes line segments from a polyline, leaving gaps, could indeed be useful to some users.
I think of a straight polyline with several segments. Then I remove some segments. I end up with a polyline with “holes” in it. Now I could stretch that polyline and all the remaining segments and holes stretch proportionally. Could be handy some times.
