Andrew,

When selecting a Hatch entity:
For a solid filled Hatch the boundaries total length is given.
With a pattern that returns the summed length of the patterned lines.

I think that the recent performance update for RHatchData::getLength returns something different than intended.

Andrew,

Trace Bitmap requires a selection.
QCAD stalls when the first entity id is not an RImageEntity .

The prevImageEntity.getFileName() in the beginEvent will throw an exception for all but an RImageEntity.

The odds are against us that in a multiple selection an image is the first id.

I think you need to filter on image entities like later in the applyOperation function.

When using SVG export on a drawing with a block defined, the export is incorrect. Arcs are drawn incorrectly and parts of the block are missing. If that block is exploded, the SVG export is correct. Attached is a block on the lower left and the same block on the lower right after explode. Also attached is the resulting SVG file.
This is not always the case. Some blocks are correctly exported to SVG. The upper row is again a block on the left and the same block exploded on the right. It exports properly.

Hi Andrew

I get Extreme Lag When Left Click and Selecting Solid or Pattern Hatch...

The “Any” filter matches no entities.

Select an object, e.g. a block or text. Hit G P to open the object’s properties.

Select the text input for the X coordinate. Add the string +0.1 to the end. Hit enter. The coordinate is increased by 0.1.

Repeat this for the Y coordinate. The coordinate always becomes 1.

Repeat this a second time, for the Y coordinate, without closing the properties dialogue in between edits. The coordinate updates as expected, e.g. 1.1, 1.2, 1.3...

... despite the fact it was successful.

Hi,
Recently I found out that tabs (CAM module) are only visible on layer 0. If I turn this layer off, all tabs will disappear. It is very inconvenient for someone who create a drawing using multiple layers. Im my case, layer 0 contains the frame and the info table only. When the drawing is ready and verified, I add a layer with a copy of the drawing just for g-code generation. I do it in that way because the drawing sometimes has to be modified for cnc purposes. Please correct this problem.

Tested on: QCAD/CAM Pro 3.27.6
PC with Windows 10.

Tested on a Win7 32bit and a Win10 64bit system.

With App.Prefs defaults for new drawings set to mm, mm, metric.
Inserting a ‘CubeCuttingOut’ with the default size 10 into a drawing in inch results in size 0.39370079” what is indeed 10mm.

One would expect it to be sized 10 units of the target drawing.

Recently reported by Husky concerning the QCAD Utilities by MikeJ.

ScriptItems are first created on a new (offline) document.
QCAD will then adapt the size with unit conversion.
Then it will scale, rotate, flip according the ‘Insert Script’ tool options.

This is fully predictable for standard library items where the source is a dxf file with a defined unit and no unit conversion would occur if the library source unit was ‘None’.

I then assume that this can be fixed with setting the new RDocument in InsertScriptItem.prototype.beginEvent its unit to ‘None’.
Not knowing what the intended behavior should be for any other case, source or usage ...

Dear Mr Mustun,

I’ve got a problem similar to issue 2354.

Sometimes I have to create bigger drawings. Therefore I often create a “main drawing” and some “detail drawings”. I usually do the details in “detail drawing” and transfer them to “main drawing” by using “copy with reference” and “paste”. Until a few days ago it worked quite properly, but now it doesn’t anymore.

Today from issue 2354 I’ve learned that qcad doesn´t use windows clipboard. Can you tell me an alternative way to help me, please?

OS: Windows 11 Home
QCAD: Professional 3.27 (.4 ?, purchased July 29th 2022) 64 bit

Sincerely, FW

If the Theme is chosen as Dark, the name of even layers in the Layer List is with white color and the name of background is also white. Please see the attachment.

Many thanks!

In script SaveAs.js on line 104 the sourced filename is correct.
When this is not empty on line 147 the fileDialog should select this file in its own path.
The testing sequence in the topic shows this is not always the case.
I am using the system file dialog.

Firts setting the corresponding folder for the fileDialog seems to fix this:

148 fileDialog.setDirectory(fileInfo.absolutePath());

We have a client complaining that measures are disappearing from DXF file when it is opened in QCad, but remain visible when exporting the same file in JPEG format.
Please see attached files for an example.

Stand-alone QCad version used is 3.26.2.

Version embedded in client application is unknown (awaiting information).

Regards.

If I apply “copy with reference” to any block, the block’s draw order is changed to -2147483648 (-0×80000000).

Ellipse arcs in non-uniformly transformed blocks are exported incorrectly when the “preserve geometry” option is used.

I imported a DXF using the professional version qcad-3.27.6-pro-linux-x86_64 and all text strings have codes prefixed to them like “ql;”. When opening in QCAD qcad-3.25.2-trial-linux-x86_64 the text loads correctly though. Others have confirmed that this seems to be a regression and a non-issue in other viewers: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?p=37667

Here is a file with a single circle and single text number “1” which currently appears as “ql;t0;1”.

Exception when populating scale combo box

Add support for clipping (FPDF_CLIPPATH).

Case:
open “Edit Block in Place”,
select entity or block like you would do to “Add to Working Set”,
don’t add - instead cancel “Edit Block in Place”,
selection color stay on even it is not treated anymore as selected,
to solve that you need to go back into “Edit Block in Place” mode to deselect the entity.

Unicode is inserted instead of symbol from line edit context menus.

The scale property for viewports cannot be edited.

Many thanks Andrew for your input on task  FS#2359 .
However there were two other issues mentioned in the first task that seem to have been overlooked.
Italic text appears and disappears as I zoom in and out and if I try to insert italic text it will not show as italic on screen. Also when I try to insert an ‘ohm’ special character I only get a ‘?’ question mark.
Apologies if I’m doing something silly !!
Regards
Richard

Note that my operating system is Windows 11. Recently updated from 32 bit (3.24.3.0) on old machine to 64bit version (3.27.3) on new computer. Old drawings transferred across to new version. Now bits of text missing. I can overcome bits of text missing by selecting View-Screen based Linetypes but when I print the text has bits missing once again. Some text appears and then disappears as you zoom in and out and selecting View screen based linetypes has no effect. Also I have noticed that the special character Ohm symbol shows as ? on screen. Also not possible to put Italic letters on drawing.

Note: drawing stays “modified” after saving from dialog.

Recursion in move, rotate, mirror, stretch of viewport entity.

Hello,
I’ve quite often the task to transfer changes from one set of drawings to another (similar) set.
My ideal setup would be to open one set in one window and the other set in another window.
Both windows would be aranged side-by-side (larger monitor).
Unfortunately Qcad (I’m using the Pro version) does not allow to be started twice in parallel.
Not even Qcad-trial runs concurrently to Qcad-Pro.

So my request is to be able to run two instances of Qcad-Pro in parallel.

It’s ok if the second instance is in a kind of read-only mode where neither data not tool-settings
can be changed.
It’s also ok if number of concurrent instances is limitted to 2.

Best regards,
Klaus

Drawing inch / imperial

If I add a Viewport imperial scales for that Viewport like 1” = 32’ are not accepted. Accepted are only metric scales like 1/100.

On the current version of QCAD (used on a M1 MacBook Pro) you can set a keyboard shortcut timeout which I have set to 5000, 5seconds is ok to press two keys and press return. However I find this this method of selecting the command line is not consistent, its selection time varies from approx 0.5sec up to 5sec which leads to incorrect command selection.

To get around this at preset I use a mouse click to select the command line which works every time.

An option not to use the keyboard time would be better so the space bar selects command line, return key executes and closes or Esc cancels and closes selection

Hope you can look into this
Regards Paul

Throws me out of QCad consistently:

1. Have a polyline selected.
2. Click partial polyline along selection and click the first point on the polyline.
3. Hit escape key or similar to exit the tool.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new layer with color (e.g.) red.
2. Draw a line.
3. Make the layer invisible.
4. Edit the layer to change its color to (e.g.) green.
5. Make the layer visible.
The line will appear colored red.
If you save, close, and reopen the file, it will now appear green.
