QCAD Bugtracker

Simple text tool does not create simple text but mtext.
When changed to simple in property editor, position does not work

The stretch function does not work at all. I tried it in the old version 2.2.2 where it worked.

Hi Andrew

Using Beta 3 v3 saving files to DXf 2010, DWG 2010, or even 2007 only saves succesfully some times. Most of the time I get a warning dialog stating that “Cannot open file” - no suitable importer found?

Please help

Dimensions: Inch / Architectural: supporess 0 feet

Invastiagte QPainter warnings when running QCAD in -no-gui mode

See forum:
http://www.ribbonsoft.com/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=1653&start=45

Set up fixed grid without any auto scaling or adjusting or meta grid at all.

can’t make a dotted line on a drawing with unit foot.

• drawing unit: foot (length taken from a actual architecture plan)
• layer settings: as shown in the screen shot
• selected line is on layer “dotted”
• line types is shown as continues for almost everything

• show a warning on the QCAD console if someone tries to draw on a locked layer

1. load 2 drawings
2. switch both into print preview
3. see attachment
4. scale combo box shows only “1:1”
5. switching drawings does not update options tool bar from drawing but drawing from options tool bar

• tried different options in print preview (auto scale, auto fit etc.)

1. load attached drawing
2. print preview
3. auto fit pages
4. shows 2 columns (wrong) and 13 rows (correct), see attachment

• Selected entities are exported in the way as they are shown on screen.
• Same applies for highlighted entities.
• See attachment.

• the cells are not shown anymore

• simple drawing: 1 rectangle, 1 circle
• File → Export PDF

→ generates an empty document (or maybe both the lines and the background is white)

Note: After the export ones stays in print preview mode, which is a bit confusing if the command was invoked from the “normal” drawing mode.

If I create a closed polygon that include arcs or parts of circles, they export to SVG as straight lines.

If I explode the polyline, they export fine.

If I create a solid fill, those arcs export fine.

See attached DXF and SVG output.

This may be a duplicate bug, but my previous bug report vanished.

Some tool bars (e.g. ‘Block’ tool bar) contain tools without an icon (empty button).
Not all tools are available in tool bars.

Configure font used for dimensions.

When exporting a drawing to SVG, polygons containing arcs (trimmed circles in this case) are converted to straight lines. If the polygon is exploded first, then it exports correctly. Of course, this isn’t useful if closed polygons are required for the program using the SVG file. Solid hatch fills export correctly. See attached DXF and corresponding SVG export.

Add layer: new layer should be active one

1. When selecting the Scissors function, it deactivates after the cut is done. One can therefore not continuously select lines and cut it at the selected point. Each time the function has to be activated from the start.

1. For some reason on the Window machine, the snap toolbar buttons are doubled for all functions. I therefore have two buttons for each type of snap and cannot access the bottom snaps unless I undoc the toolbar.

For some reason, this is still fine in the Linux Beta 3. Single buttons like always.

Reported by: koosjr

when editing text which contains the degree symbol the proper escape sequence is \U+00B0
Qcad 3Beta3 replaces \U+00B0 with %%[dD]

PDF Export: from file menu

Preference for persistent selections

Text tool: options tool bar with text, angle, text height.

Print preview: auto center / scale

Layer renaming: changing name from lower case to upper case

SvgExporter.js uses PrintPreview to parse the scale string, and therefore depends on the qt GUI part. That should not make maintenance harder to call RMath directly there? Results seem to match from a first look.

The capability of running headless, ie. without GUI, is a very welcome addition to QCAD. I suggest one more improvement:

When an exception occurs in a script (running from autostart) and no-gui was opted for on the command line, QCAD should not try to bring up the debugger ever (regardless of any preferences), but print the message of the exception and possibly a backtrace instead.

Otherwise all errors will produce the same message…

In QCAD 2, line type patterns are scaled according to the print preview drawing scale, also in model space.
This is not the case in QCAD 3 and possibly needs a different solution.

Possible solutions:

• two different LTSCALEs for model space and print preview
• same behavior as QCAD 2

Add license header for all ECMAScript files.

CAD Tool Bar: Back button should go back one menu. Possibly use two buttons, one to go back to the previous tool bar, one to go back to the main tool bar.

This continues a problem that occurred in Qcad 2.2/OpenSuse 11.1:

1. The default paper size is always A4. (minor, but annoying)

2. Here is the serious problem: When I change the paper size to, for example tabloid, in File/Drawing Preferences/Page and in Print/Properties, the print job prints as though it were A4. This occurs unless I first go to Yast or Control Center and (as superuser) change the default page size. Other programs (such as Open Office) don’t require this.

The printer is an HP deskjet 9800, and the problem occurs with either CUPS or hplip printing.

I am using Opensuse 11.3 (I haven’t been able to install successfully opensuse 11.4 on my computer), Qcad

The labels of dimensions in PG exporter are moved half text-height. Thats a bit much, and actually, no such movement looks more true to the display of same in QCAD itself.

Starting qcad Beta 3 with command line argument -always-load-scripts will bring up debugger:

Uncaught exception at /opt/qcad-3.0.0-beta3-prof-linux/scripts/library.js:2: RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded.

Polylines may consist of lines and arcs. The SVG PG exporter writes them as all straight lines. A better mapping than polyline then was path, as is done with arcs now.

A polyline or polygon created from segments always ends up in layer 0, shouldn’t it stay in the same layer as the segments have been?

Switch grid from orthogonal to isometric.

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.

Pendant la réalisation d’un plan le calque 0 s’est verrouillé, impossible de le modifier. En l’enregistrant sous un autre nom le calque 0 est toujours verrouillé.

During the implementation of a plan the layer 0 was locked, impossible to change it. By saving it under another name Layer 0 is always locked.

You removed the button to show and hide grid

I cannot find it and when I turn the grid off and on

Hello. My question is: can I run my script under Linux QCAD using Linux command prompt.
Something like this. Print in terminal: “./qcad myscript.qs” And can the script executing without QCAD GUI? I need to make my drawing by printing specific command in linux command prompt without using GUI. So after script end his work I want to have my drawing at destination directory.

Thank you.

Trying to build a hatch area sometimes results in “invalid hatch area”. It would be nice if QCAD could give a hint why / where the problem occurs (where is “line too long” or “not closed”).

If spline boundary has fit points, hatch is loaded with visible inaccuracy.

Calibrate printer X/Y ratio and possibly scale to allow accurate printing even on inaccurate printers.

When I open a dfx file I have made from AutoCad, QC will open the file fine but then when I try to save it I get a dialog box stating that the drawing was not saved and asks if I have permission or is the disk full. Yes, I have permission and no the disk is not full.
Then when I close the dfx file and try to reopen it the second time, QC will not open the file and a dialog box reads “Cannot open file, please check your access rights, the file format and the file extension”
