(Re-)combining polys touching at node with ‘create from selected’ leads to application crash.

Breaking up self-intersecting Polys at segments crossing
can’t be done for the second segment.

Divide:
A new node is inserted and made start and end node.
For the second segment no division occurs or can be made.
Expected is that the segment the nearest to the selecting point is addressed.
Eg. the trim command.

Breakout gap:
- 1 Part fully trimmend of
- Can be undone

Auto trim:
(hint: do file-save first to revert)
- 1 Part fully trimmend of
- Undo will wipe the complete poly

In the file example 1.

Work-arround:
- Divide
- Insert node on the second segment not at the crossing
- Divide at that node
- Move new nodes to crossing

The area of polylines with arcs can be incorrect.
With only line segments it is correct as far as I can check.
See <Poly-line Area.dxf> ; <Poly-arc Area.dxf>

It does not depend on the quadrant their in nor with what point the start point is.
It is related with the oriëntation.
Flipping or mirroring horizontally induce the error.

Modifications like flip, move & copy may induce another error that locks the oriëntation.
It is noticed that the oriëntation property in the editor does not change anymore when reversing.
Although locked the value of the area property switches between good and wrong.

The master poly in question is a part of an arc and a part of an ellipse exploded 1024/full.
These where recombined to one poly with ‘Create from selection’ and are closed.
Closed as per the last vertex does not point to the start point, logically closed I presume.
The purpose is to sum the error surface for the skewing math.
For now I will use my common sence to distinguish what value is the correct one.
Reversing while found faulty is the solution.

Found a strange behaviour with formatted text.

File attached.
‘Draw’-selecting only the yellow text with a little space arround it
- L>R or R>L ⇒ Yellow text not selected.

‘Draw’-selecting only the yellow text with a little space from R>L but crossing the text half way
- Yellow text Selected ⇒ Expected behaviour.

‘Draw’-selecting just including the mentioned little circles.
- Orange L>R or R>L ⇒ Normal texts selected ⇒ Expected behaviour
- Green L>R Yellow not R>L Yellow selected ⇒ Expected behaviour
- Magenta L>R or R>L ⇒ Yellow text not selected ??

I have file /home/test/test.dxf . When i try open file from terminal (qcad test.dxf), i have warning “File not found”. When i write full path (qcad /home/test/test.dxf), the file opens.

Trimming polylines especialy those with a string of small segments should be done at the intersection of those polylines.
Now trimming is done with the seggments that where the nearest when selecting the two polylines.

when editing a block and deleting one of the preferred attributes you need to restart the qcad so that the excluded attribute disappears from aba properties when the block is selected;even after synchronizing block attributes

Scaling without keeping the aspect ratio fails to scale an arc to an ellips when this is part of a polyline.

Discovered while documenting feature request ‘Skewing’

A file with name of 1234.56.78.0001.00 Something blah blah.dxf will not export to bitmap correctly. The save dialog will suggest filename of 1234.56.78.0001.jpg instead, truncating everything after last dot.

This bug existed in older versions too because of incorrect handling of file names. As a result, at some point File.getSaveFileName incorrectly truncates the extension (which is empty at the time) and replaces it with jpg. Appending a null extension fixes this, though obviously it’s not a correct fix.

Here is a temporary workaround in File.js:

File.getInitialSaveAsPath = function(filePath, extension) {
    var ret = "";

    var fi;

    if (isNull(filePath) || filePath.length === 0) {
        var mdiChild = EAction.getMdiChild();
        var fn;
        if (!isNull(mdiChild)) {
            fn = stripDirtyFlag(EAction.getMdiChild().windowTitle)
        }
        else {
            fn = "File";
        }

        fi = new QFileInfo(QDir.homePath());
        ret = fi.absoluteFilePath() + QDir.separator + fn + "." + extension + ".nothing"; // Workaround here
    } else {
        fi = new QFileInfo(filePath);
        ret = fi.path() + QDir.separator + fi.completeBaseName() + "." + extension + ".nothing"; // Workaround here
    }
    return ret;
};

When exporting a drawing under latest version of QCAD, for whatever reason QCAD ignores all line thicknesses and there is no option to fix it. The error is in BitmapExportWorker.js (line 134). It should read:

view.setHairlineMinimumMode(false);

(currently, it uses “true” instead)

Have tried several samples from the web and the result is the same.

Hi,

I have a drawing where I use text with superscript. In this case when I use autozoom, it does not work as I expect. It includes the 0,0 coordinates too. The problem also occures when I export the drawing into svg.

I attached an example, just use the autozoom.

Thanks,
Soma

Create text using “standard” font with color change (e.g. one letter in the middle red).

I am a new qcad pro user and created a simple drawing and saved as DXF R27 and closed the app. I reopen the app and open that DFX and the app crashes. However, I can import it. I suspect (without any evidence) that the text in the dimension of the drawing is the problem. Perhaps this issue is like #1261

Hi Andrew,

When placing a point in a layout it gives an incorrcet display, for example if I place a cross point style I get a rather strange shape in return!

Many thanks

Please add script bindings for Qt 5.9.4, thank you.

Hi Andrew,

Just a little thing I noticed recently.

My default is set to save as DWG and indeed it does, however the auto-save feedback tells me that the file is saved to DXF, although it actually does save to DWG - no big deal but is this correct feedback?

Many thanks

Clive

Deaktivating “for plotting” (German “plottbar”) while editing properties of a layer seems to change nothing. I expected, that in print preview (SVG, PDF) these layers are deaktivatet too.

Deaktivating in these cases make sense as when real plotting.

Thin lines are with sub pixel widths are not visible in exported bitmaps.

Is it possible to create “OVERKILL” command like in AUTOCAD

... if other entities involved.

Testdrawing:
Please use the Auto Trim tool first with visible and then with invisible Block Countertop. The effect can change depending on where you click.

The current startup script fails when called through symbolic link due to string:

DIR=${0%/*}

It is better to change it to:

DIR=$(dirname -- $(readlink -f -- $0))

I found that words which has plural forms are translated in manner where only two forms are possible - like in English language. For example: “Object” and “Objects”. But other languages (for example Polish) very often have more than 2 plural forms.
There are also strings which use only one form (for example: “Reset label position of %1 dimension(s).”) but cardinal number placed in string point on more forms than one.
All these strings looks bad when translated and sometimes even in English. I mark most of them using comments:

http://translate.qcad.org/pl/qcad/translate/#search=plural&sfields=notes

http://translate.qcad.org/pl/qcadpro/translate/#search=plural&sfields=notes

I believe problem can be fixed using plural form strings: https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Plural-forms.html

Print option “Auto fit pages to drawing” broken.

Autofit (-a) has no effect when converting a block or layout block (other than Model_Space).

Error at copy with ref point and paste

Look at the video

for testing
I made a litte drawing, then select all
then make copy with refpoint, set refpoint
then insert it

Result: the copy is mirrored and with factor 1.2 greater then original
