QCAD Bugtracker

Importing or pasting a drawing which references a non-existing image crashes.

RGraphicsSceneDrawable or type image references deleted, temporary preview document through RImageData which leads to crash when trying to load the image.

Files which don’t contain any entities cannot be loaded (bulk load of spatial index library fails with exception).

Tested on Linux Mint-64
Inserting some exsisting blocks or newly user created blocks makes QCAD quit!
Permissions were checked and also tested by submitting new blocks to new folder...but problem remains.

On file open selection from main menu or on output to PDF Qcad crashes

error:

I/O error : No such file or directory
/usr/share/mime/inode/directory.xml:1: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document

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

Hi,

often I’m in the situation that I have to create an additional Layer mostly based on the settings from an already existing Layer. Just a question of organization. This new Layer has then everything identical except the name and one(?) Attribute. This could be that only the color or the Line weight deviates.

Example:

Existing Layer

Layer name: Lot 47 area existing

Attributes

Color: Red

Lineweight: 0.35

Linetype: Dashed

New Layer

Layer name: Lot 47 area proposal

Attributes

Color: Blue

Lineweight: 0.35

Linetype: Dashed

Unfortunately if done manually it happens in an blink of an eye that the human imperfection (me!) makes a mistake and (e.g.) a “Center (.5x)” finds it way into the Linetype Field instead of a “Center (.2x)” ....

The workaround for a few User is to use in cases like this the Property Editor / General Property and customize single Attributes. In my opinion the first step to lose the control over your own drawing ...

A “Copy Layer” / Copy Layer Attributes” function would speed up this task and eliminate to a minimum the “human imperfection” factor.

I could imagine that a right click (like copy block) on the Layer triggers the “Add Layer” function and the dialog is already prefigured with the Settings of the Source Layer ...... ready for editing.
The new Layer itself is “empty” like any other new Layer.

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”

Kopiere ich Bemaßungen/Leader in die Zwischenablage und möchte diese dann wieder in die Zeichnung einfügen passen die Vorschau Proportionen nicht mit dem eingefügten Ergebnis überein. Eigentlich nur ein Schönheitsfehler aber es erschwert die korrekte Positionierung und die benutzung der Optionen wie skalieren, rotieren etc ...

- 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.

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.

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).

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

I am using fedora 24 and qt4

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

cd qcad
qmake-qt4 -r this step ok

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.
