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

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.

QCAD Pro, Deutsche Benutzeroberfläche:

Kommando Zeilen Mitteilung:
[13:35:12] Automatisches Speichern in: C:\Users\......xxx.dxf...
[13:35:12] Autosave abgeschlossen.

Englische und Deutsche Benutzeroberfläche:
Die angezeigten 3 Punkte nach dem xxx.dxf sind überflüssig da die Zeile nach dem dxf definitive endet.

Hatch of full circle (loaded from DXF) does not export to SVG.

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.

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

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

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.

Snapshot 3.23.04

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

Hi Andrew,

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

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

Replaces  FS#1967 .

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

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.

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,

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

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

Original file: Connected King Room.dwg

Converted file: Connected King Room.pdf

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.

Morning, I found a bug.

Original file: 南博湾3-702户型.dwg

Converted file: 南博湾3-702户型.pdf

Bug description file: problem9.png

Command line: .\dwg2pdf.bat -f -a -recompute-dim -ltscale=1 path

As you see, the width of lines are wrong.

Hallo Andrew

Confronted with a bug in font Standard glyph ”s” (small S),

As you see. I use dwg2pdf to export the block named “布局1”. There are too many drawings missing.

Good afternoon, I found a bug.

Source file: B5.dwg.

Command line: .\dwg2pdf.bat -f -a -recompute-dim -ltscale=1 -font-substitution Standard GBK path

After I used the command, the message “Warning: standard font not found” occured. And B5.pdf is not found.
Convert is fail.

Bug Description file: problem3.png

As you see, all the Chinese fonts are drawed as ???

Hello, I found a bug.

See the problem2.png.

Original file: 004.dwg.
After converting pdf by dwg2pdf. The file is 004.pdf. I can’t find any drawings. I scale the pdf reader to 6400%.
But the drawings are still too small.

This is my using command: .\dwg2pdf.bat -f -a -recompute-dim -ltscale=1 path

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!

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.

QCAD Pro fails to write R10, R9, R2.6, R2.5 dwg files. Younger types and dxf work as expected.
Tested the issue back to QCAD 3.18 - no version is able to save those file types.

When using D2 on the vertical line (orange line in the attached example) a small zero length line is left over. This doesn’t happen if the vertical orangle line were a finite, line with two distinct endpoints.

Then QCAD exits (does not start). As far as I remember, 3.23.0.2 release was fine.

The option “Cut inner paths before outer paths” is ignored, causing trouble when outer paths are cut first.

Attached is a link to the script files and gcode examples.

Closed splines (Control points) are saved as “not closed” with a new knot (when DXF is closed and re-opened).
Is this behavious intended ?

3.23.02 Block toggle switch for visibility fails.
3.23.0 Block toggle switch for visibility works.

QCAD 3.23.0.2
File / New from Template fails in different situation like immediately after launching the tool, sometimes after changing directories in the dialog like from imperial to metric etc..
QCAD tries for ever (wait cursor) or even quits QCAD. It’s not a clear pattern ...
