Choose number of copies when using ‘snap with distance to end’.

This might make sense for certain tools only.

I consider this a bug or at least poor software design.

When I edit the drawing preferences and change the arrow size (under the Dimensions tab), the arrows of my dimensions change as expected, but those of the leaders to not change.

No drawing preference exists to adjust the leaders separately, and scaling a leader does not scale its arrow. I currently must delete my leaders and redraw them completely to change the arrow size. Very inconvenient.

P.S. I’m using QCad 2.0.5.0-Free-1 (Community Edition) and didn’t see that version in your list. Does it have another name?

Dear Andrew,

When I open a dxf file created by QCad2 in QCad3 I see extra reference points to the right when selecting the text. I assume that these reference points have no function. Refer to attached dxf file.

Opening a 4 MB dwg file results in no-response for about five minutes. Opening the same file with DraftSight takes less than five seconds.

It would be nice if one could not only change the icon size of the widget panel but also the icon size of the tool bars.

Starting qcad 3 beta 2 under xubuntu 10.04, there are several warnings and debug messages. The “mutex lock failed” seems to be worth reported.

I cannot print directly from the program: clicking “printprewiu” ,appears icon “print”,clicking it opens the printer installed window, but then it not print anything. greetings

When I open a saved document, the “Line Spacing Factor” it return to 1.

Tried several times, same result.

Scripts that are included through the ECMAScript include function are read with a default constructed QTextStream. UTF-8 should be forced.

If a simple polygon is drawn and a rectangle created within it; the whole then selected and hatch applied; hatching works as expected. The hatching is within the polygon but not within the rectangle.

If the rectangle is made into a block, then hatching does not work at all when the block is included in the selection. If the block is not selected and the polygon is, then all within the polygon is hatched, including the block.

When opening a new tab, previous tab is renamed by the new opened file.

Tested on Ubuntu Natty amd64

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.

TODO:

• Ask user to enter block attribute values when inserting block

• Support for multiline attributes
• Control order of attributes (as shown to user in property editor, when inserting blocks)

DONE:

• Defining new block attribute definitions (constructing block attribute definition entities)
• Editing block attribute definitions (property editor)

There is one important ACAD feature that I would really like to see supported in QCAD3 and that is “Layouts”

Looking at the block lists, it seems to me that it can’t be too much extra work to support it, since the model space and different paper spaces are already shown there - and one can edit it.

QCAD draws infinitely easier than ACAD and drawing layouts is a primary feature of ACAD. With this in QCAD I can hardly see why anyone that does 2D work would need ACAD at all.

Hide layer / block should deselect entities on it

Perpendicular (orthogonal to entity) snap onto closest entity.

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.

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.

After I open the second file, the tab name of the first file is changed to the name of second file. After that I see two tabs with the same names but with two different files.

Bug or Performance Issue? I’m not sure but it regularly trips me up and is counter intuitive.

In the right hand window generally if you scroll in the pane the list of items moves up and down as expected. E.g. Layer List and Block List.

However in Property Editor there are drop down list boxes and scrolling in the Property Editor pane dangerously scrolls elements within any drop down list that the mouse pointer happens to alight upon. This can lead to inadvertently changing properties.

I propose that a drop down list should not scroll until the list is opened. Scrolling in the Property Editor pane should scroll the Property Editor contents.

It was nice to specify the default Format for saving files. 2010 is too young for distribution to unknown users, better use 2004 or so...

One can draw in print preview. If one does, QCAD starts acting confused, the model view gets restored with a fullbright white background.

Maybe best is to just disable all drawing and measuring in print preview?

When many tabs are open, the name of contained drawing is not fully shown. One way that some mdi applications do, is to append the name of the active tab to the top window title, which is also useful in other ways. At least a tool tip with the full name of the file on the tab top was nice.

Various issues for grid info, property editor, dimensions, etc.

Select → Contour (T, C) and click into empty space, will cause an exception, REntityPointer being a null pointer (0×0) and not false, undefined or something like that.

Snap defaults to auto. Auto snap gets slow in areas where there are many places it can snap to.
