QCAD Bugtracker

QCAD Professional 3.23.0 is using en_US keyboard layout although I have a Finnish keyboard on Fedora 29. I have not found a way, how to chance the keyboard definition. In Fedora repositories there is QCAD Community Edition 3.22.1, and keyboard definitions there are working OK. Keyboard layout is following Gnu desktop keyboard selection and can be changed on the fly. Wrong keyboard layout makes working very hard, because almost all special keys are in different places, like colon, semicolon, plus, minus, parentheses, slash etc.

The original file is A5.dwg. I’m using QCAD professional 3.23.0. A5.pdf is converted by command line tool dwg2pdf.
I found the drawing problem in it. See the attachment file problem.png.

As you see, I write down 3 bugs in problem.png.

1. bug 1. The position of ‘green 90’ is wrong.
2. bug 2. The line width is too large. You can see dot in A5.dwg, but a line in A5.pdf.
3. bug 3. The ‘green 42’ is missing.

Thank you very much for your help!

Hello, I found a bug.

But the drawings are still too small.

Bug description file: problem10.png

As you see, there are 2 bugs:

1. There are 4 tabs in the original file. But dwg2pdf can only convert one tab to pdf.
2. After converting, the right column drawing is missing.

Relative to https://www.ribbonsoft.com/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=1965

I suggest that if dwg2pdf have an new options that can convert all the blocks to pdf.
Now, I need to know all the block names before converting.

But if I put qcad on server, the computer won’t know how many blocks in the dwg and their names.

For examples:

There are 4 blocks in dwg.block1, block2, block3, block4

Command line: ./dwg2pdf -block-all path

Result: block1.pdf block2.pdf block3.pdf block4.pdf

Hallo Andrew,

I had updated QCAD/CAM to 3.23.0.2 and I am confronted with a major bug in the toolpath generator.

Good afternoon! I have a suggestion.

Relative to https://www.ribbonsoft.com/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=1964

I did not find option -max-lineweight.
Please see the attachment.

Hallo Andrew,

Fiddling with the drill-toolpath error, a solution seems to be to add the drill location as a ‘single point’ in the ‘source’ sublayer. I am using this as a Bug Work Around.

Create polyline from clockwise arc with total angle > 180°.
Export as SVG.
SVG path arc data does not export sweep correctly.

Wrong orientation is returned for polylines with large arcs (>180d).

Replaces  FS#1967 .

Hi Andrew,

Nosing around in the QCAD Reference Manual I noticed a misperception in the Mirror / Flip commands.

Snapshot 3.23.04

Spacing for symbols in layer list way to wide compared to previous versions.

Version 3.23.03 - Husky-2019.10.22-02.png
Version 3.23.04 - Husky-2019.10.22-01.png

Drawing created with a previous QCAD version has issues to be correctly displayed in the current snapshot.
e.g. drawing opened in QCAD 3.23.0 - works flawless.
same drawing opened in QCAD 3.23.4 - has problems to show inserted blocks correctly.

I use gcode ripper for some of my jobs. (see here: https://www.scorchworks.com/Gcoderipper/gcoderipper.html) This is a large python script that I use to wrap flat code around a cylinder for engraving. What I would like to see is a way to run it from my own custom post processor that I wrote for my machine. Maybe some kind of keyword that allows me to specify an arbitrary external command with some parameters. It would be very helpful to me. I create a lot of ad-hock jobs to run.

Thanks,
Chuck Tilbury

With some unit and scale combinations dots rather look like dashes.

Cases:

1. QCAD default start drawing:
Application Preferences, Page Tags enabled,
Load new drawing (Menu/File/New),
Launch Print Preview, Page Tags not displayed on print preview page,
Check Drawing Preferences shows that Page Tags are still enabled, turn it off, turn it on, confirm with OK makes the Page Tags visible on the Print Page.

2. Customized start template drawing - saved as template with enabled Page Tags - same behavior.

Hello
Qcad does not show! DWF-files. it seems, that the File is opened, but thre is nothing displayed on the screen. onl the Rastes is showed, but not the DWf-drawing.

Duplicating layer “0” results in duplicate entities on same layer instead of new layer.

Case:
Infinitive line,
launch Divide (DI),
click infinitive line

An orthogonal preview line should now indicates where the cut will happen when the next point is chosen.
QCAD version 3.23.0.5 displays that indicator below a variable angle to the infinitive line. Regardless what it shows - the cut will happen orthogonal.

Hallo Andrew,

I experienced some odd behaviour when using a final Regenerate All before an Export.

If I insert a bitmap the relative zero point (RZ) isn’t set at all. It will be set at the mouse position in the moment when I terminate the tool.

This leads among other things that I can’t use the Alt key for ortho mode or other tools for restrictions.

If I use accidentally explode on a ray or infinitive line the line will be deleted without a warning.

QCAD 3.23.0.5

1. If I use accidentally explode on a bitmap it will be deleted without a warning.

2. If I select an area with a selection rectangle as preparation for the “Clip to rectangle” tool all bitmaps within the selection are deleted - without a warning.

QCAD 3.23.0.5

- Open a DXF file with CECOLOR (current drawing color) set to 256 (ByLayer).
- Save DXF
- CECOLOR has changed

When I create a simple drawing, I cannot export the gcode until I restart qcad.

general steps to reproduce the issue:
1. open a new drawing
2. Add a letter “D” near the origin in Arial font, about 7mm tall.
3. explode it
4. save the drawing
5. Fill in in the “cam configuration” 6. Select the drawing and generate the tool paths.
7. Hit the “export button” or the menu item.
8. Observe that you see the “camexport” command appears in the command section, but there is no file generated for the gcode.

If you restart qcad, then the gcode will export as expected. Also, it appears to work for more complicated drawings. I had the same issue, when I tried to generate the same thing, but using the string “November 2019” at 5mm height. I am using up to date MX Linux with kernel version 4.19.0. I also observed this behavior under Windows 10 professional.

Hi,

Dimensions texts are not showing in layouts when using a Viewport scale of 1/100.
This issue is present in 3.23.0.6 but not in 3.23.0.

See this thread on the forum for more info and repro file:
https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=6725

Within the nesting preparation:
A left mouse click to add a sheet will always be confirmed with “Sheet added”, regardless of a proper selection or where the left click is done in Model_Space.
