Create block with arc or circle
Insert block with factor 100
Rendering is too coarse

Create block with attribute definition (attribute definition has lowest draw order in block).

Create block reference from block.

Modify > Stretch with area around block reference.

Block reference does not move.

Status change for Visibility is without any effect on Viewports in Paper_Space.

Case:
Entities drawn on a layer in Model_Space. Visibility on/off works.
Situation covered with a Viewport, placed in Paper_Space, Edit content launched for that Paper_Space, Visibility on/off doesn’t works.

It was properly working in previos QCAD versions ...

Using version 3.25.2.4

Add or change text.
Inside the rich tab I try to change the text height.
The program freezes.
Tried with different fonts.

Andrew,
unrelated to any OS or version.

Circles do explode to polylines with two arc segments.
Discussed earlier and very correct because a full circle bulge would be a mathematical limit situation.

When there is no option to ‘Undo’ anymore or when the file was saved & loaded there is no easy way back.

One of the reasons why I isolate circle entities if I might going to use XP as in the file here:
https://qcad.org/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=2155
Even knowing it, I still make more mistakes as I would like.

It would be nice to be able to exclude circle entities from the GUI explosion action XP.
Can be simply implemented in the top of Explode.explodeSelection with an extra preference in AppPrefs, default =true.

On the other hand, the explosions of circles used internally in various methods should remain.

CVH

-origin has no effect, origin is not drawn in export

Path data might contain leading zeroes to indicate an implicit separator:

“1 02” should be equivalent with “1 0 2”, not “1 2”.

Rectangle with Size (RS) doesn’t update the Fill, RoundCorners & Radius settings shared under the [Shape] header in QCAD ini.

Explained as group synchronization while the Polygon methods have more settings in common, although not shared.

In the summary there are more minor issues listed.
All have a bar in the Options Toolbar that disappears after the first is drawn.

I rather would opt for all individual settings ...
... or all grouped.

The zero crossing at 180° turn is fixed.

Found two very minute Line segments where the Width is set zero.
Revision dxf included.

Referring to the grid they are rendered about 0.0002 long.
They are in the order of 5e-15 and less or simply zero long in this case (<1ULP).
Results may vary in length ... and vary after Save/Revert.
Files included: PolyWidthErrLargeArc_v2.csv (a/b)

Not encountered on a Polyline with line segments.

The alpha property is a new feature. Now that we are using it it can be added to tools like the “Property Painter”.

Add alpha property to filter for hatches.

When importing dxf-file or pasting dxf-drawing from other window old content from a previous import is pasted. This seems to be connected to the opened file and can not be replaced, thus making it impossible to add new parts to the drawing. Clipboard Display shows correct part, not the same as what is pasted.

When user activated LIne → Parallel (LP), there’s two input fields - Distance and Number. Keyboard shortcut Alt-N activated Number input field very well, but shortcut Alt-D activate menu Draw instead. So user forced to point Distance input field by mouse.

That’ because conflicting letter D.

Make a letter as shortcut (Distance) will remove problem b’coz no menu or option assigned to Alt-A combination

An option for unidirectional dimensions, in addition to the default aligned dimensions.

Andrew,
This is bugging me for over a year now.
I filed it as a feature request as it is dismissed twice as a possible bug on the forum.
In both cases the advice is to only use Specific Scale 0 for Leaders.
(... and adapt all other dimensions to that)

I am aware that an arrow head has to fit twice on the first leg of a Leader Entity.

The size is set global in the Drawing Preferences under Dimension Settings: ‘Text Height’.
Under Dimension Settings, there is also a global ‘Size scale factor’.
And every dimension entity has a Specific Property called ‘Scale’ that supersedes this global ‘Size scale factor’.

Proof of concept: Dim size 5 and for any regular dimension.
1) Size scale factor 1, Specific Scale 0 » text height & arrow length = 5 units.
2) Size scale factor 2, Specific Scale 0 » text height & arrow length = 10 units.
3) Size scale factor 2, Specific Scale 1 » text height & arrow length = 5 units.
4) Size scale factor 1, Specific Scale 2 » text height & arrow length = 10 units.
5) Size scale factor 10, Specific Scale 0.5 » text height & arrow length = 2.5 units.
6) Size scale factor 99, Specific Scale 0.1 » text height & arrow length = 0.5 units.
→ Obvious is that the ‘Specific Scale’ supersedes the dimensions ‘Size scale factor’.

Those two last Leader arrows (2.5 & 0.5 long) would definitely fit twice on an 8 units long first Leader leg! And they do perfectly while drawing them.

However, the arrow will be reset when the file is saved & loaded.

For case 5 the first leg has to be (2 times 5×10) 100 units or over so an arrow 2.5 long remains on save (=40 times). In the absurd case 6 that would be (2 times 5×99) 990 units or over for an arrow only 0.5 units long (=1980 times).
Verfied and true.

It seems that on save/load:
The Specific Scale is not taken into consideration while evaluating ‘At least twice’.

Apart from that they render fine when first drew.
And reappear when setting the arrow back on again after load.

Regards,
CVH

It would be nice if we could use the length of a polyline as a search criterion too.

Selection Filter, Property for Polyline, “Length” Comparison: same like Line?

Thanks.

Text font changes when saving and reloading the file.

Block contains a polyline with customized width

Works flawless with 3.25.0

I was editing a block using the “Edit block in-place” and then (because I was exploring QCad a little) tried the “Purge unused blocks” option. I suspect that the purge removed the block I was editing, since when I now click “Save and close”, I get “Original block not found”. Also when I click “Cancel”, I get “Original block reference data not found”.

Recreating an empty block with the same name fixes this, and “Save and close” seems to work as expected again.

This is probably very much a corner case which is not really important, but I wanted to report it just so it is known.

Sporadically, when I open a file, everything in it has rotated 180 degrees from when I last edited that file.

no Idea ehat this is about, definately a bug.

Andrew,

Break out Manual (B2) on Arc and open Polyline results
seems to depend on the breakpoint picking order.

A segment is broken out when the picking order is in the entity orientation.
The intended behavior.

That differs when the picking order is opposite the entity orientation.
One would expect that the picking order matters when removing
a segment between the picked points.

Example file included

Noticed while merging code to PolyLineBreakSymbol.js
https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/scripts/Misc/MiscDraw/PolyLineBreakSymbol/PolyLineBreakSymbol.js Line 300-312 orders cut points on distance from start.
Otherwise, the results where inconsistent.

CVH

Circular ellipse arcs are exploded correctly, however, almost circular ellipse arcs are not.

Using block library and inserting a block automatic snapping is broken id the block is mirrored.

Attached is one of the blocks causing the error and a screengrab.

Tried this on another machine with 2.6.2 with same bug

A block selection in Model_Space with the rectangle area selection tool fails because the block reference is located at an unexpected location. If I catch by accident the reference point or do a simple mouse click selection it will work.
