XP/32 QCAD 3.0.5

... after picking the first Point a wrong message appears what says:
“Warning: The two points are identical”

Drag and drop requires two clicks with auto snap if grid snap and free snap are disabled for auto snap.
- Edit > Application Preferences > Snap > Auto Snap: disable grid and free
- Drag an entity and try to position it
- First click does nothing, second click positions entity

1. create two new drawings
2. switch to tab 1
3. enable draft mode
4. switch to tab 2

⇒ draft mode button / menu still on (should be off)

truetype fonts are more difficult to use than regular fonts. The do not select easily.

The red and green lines on the attached drawing, created in 3.0 RC3 under WinXP SP3, don’t show as dashed lines. I have verified this under Linux version 3.0RC2. Opening the file in Qcad 2.2.2.0 under WinXP or Linux ver shows dashed lines.

Dots in line patterns are not displayed / printed at extreme coordinates.

Documentation for “Angle Bisector (L, B)” The labels for illustrations of number of bisectors are upside down and reversed.

I use architectural units everyday in QCAD and would appreciate being able to enter feet and inches from the “command line” for convenience and accuracy.

I have been entering “calculations” to arrive at the distance values (i.e. 10*12+6.125 = 10’-6 1/8”), but this method is time consuming and prone to input error.

I would like to see Acad’s architectural distance method implemented in QCAD. This entry method would replace the “calculated” entry with (as an example): 10’6-1/8.

Command Line: Next point: 10’6-1/8
The <’> mark triggers a 12 times multiplier for the proceeding number,
the next number is the whole inches and
the ↔ is a separator that adds the fraction to the whole inches before it.

Thanks for considering this feature request. I’m certain that many QCAD users in the Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical and Construction professions wold appreciate this convenience (especially those moving past Acad).

Block with hatch scaled with factor in X different from factor in Y leads to problems if contour contains arcs (which cannot / are not scaled disproportionally).

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.

Git d0eaf0, Linux/FreeBSD, Qt 4.8

Start up QCAD, *do not pan or change zoom level*. Draw a Ray or an XLine so that it (its extension, in case of Ray) goes through (0,0) and is 45 degrees (ie. draw y = x).

In this case and this case only, the Ray/XLine will be reduced to a line segment exactly between its start- and end points. It seems that this is only a visual artifact: if you pan or zoom now, the segment will be restored to what it’s supposed to be.

If you change zoom/pan back to what it was at startup, the artifact re-manifests itself.

Some flashes indicate that there are some other positions, not just the initial view, that also bring this up (ie. if you pan to a specific position, artifact appears again; it’s probably deterministic, too, but I can’t seem to be able to stop at that exact point while panning so I could count or something).

Blocks disappear (or their content does) after creating again with the same name. In attached file:

1) Created cirle
2) Select circle, BC, select center, name is ‘testblock’ 3) Repeat 2) – circle is now gone

Disable grid snap for auto snapping or otherwise configurable auto snap.

I’ve installed QCAD using this URL “http://www.qcad.org/archives/qcad/qcad-3.12.5-win32-installer.exe“. I run program using superuser account on my PC, and I switch off trial addons (CAM, Pro). Then I restart program, but she lose ability to open *.dxf files :( Message “import error” appears.
I try to rename corresponding *.dll files in ..\plugins directory from *.disabled to *.dll, and ability to open *.dxf files return until addon “Pro” expires. Sorry for my English

A window with a drawing that has unsafed changes gets an asterisk appended to its name in the tab title. When there too many tabs the title gets shortened and the star cannot be seen then.

It was nice, when the star remained visible, after or in front of the ellipses.

Also it was nice, when the “windows” menu would mark files with changes in the same way.

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...

1. drag-n-drop script “DiningTable” to the drawing, place it somewhere
2. right-click to finish the action
3. drag-n-drop script “DiningTable” to the drawing again

Use comma to display dimension labels.

Linear factor of dimensions is reset to drawing default (DIMLFAC) if set to 1, even if drawing default is not 1 on saving.

Dimensions: Inch / Architectural: supporess 0 feet

Context menu of dimension text label line edit widgets offers a <> entry which does not insert <>.

Just installed latest QCAD. Simple drawing. Add a dimension and it shows as per attached image. Have used Qcad on and off for years for doing simple drawings. Not a professional designer. Never had this problem before.

Ubuntu 20.04.1

... impossible to chose a scale in the DIM option bar.

Dimension: no feet displayed in architectural format

(e.g. 79 19/32 instead 72 7 19/32)

See:
http://www.ribbonsoft.com/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=1605

Dimension: moving label when label is beside dimension line not possible with drag and drop.

Application Preferences:
Edit > Application Preferences > Graphics View > Text Rendering: Render text as paths

Drawing Preferences:
Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimensions > Dimension Settings > Label font: Standard (or other CAD font)
Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimensions > Dimension Settings > Label color: By Layer (or fixed color)

If the drawing unit is set to ‘feet’ and the dimension format is ‘architectural’ or ‘engineering’, the drawing unit should be implicitly regarded as inch for the purpose of calculating dimension values. Since QCAD uses the drawing unit, the dimension values are off by a factor of 12 when importing drawings from other products.

Case:
Settings are:
General: Drawing Unit
Drawing Unit: Foot
Paper Unit: Inch
Measurement System: Imperial

Dimension Settings: Architectural

Issue:

I draw a horizontal line 12 units (foot) long,
Use then the Horizontal DIM tool and it will display a measurement of 1’ = false,

I draw a horizontal line of 2 units (foot)long,
Use then the Horizontal DIM tool and it will display a measurement of 2” = false,

I assume the input for the line length is handled from the DIM tool as inch and not as feet.

A nasty bug that I posted some time in the forum that prevents QCAD to read properly the content block associated with dimension.

Here’s what is happening:
- every dimension entity in DXF/DWG is stored with a block representing its contents (or in fact, anything else)
- QCAD ignores that block and instead renders the dimension using the various sizes and properties of the dimension

“” → default label
“.” → no label

• add test for all kind of dimensions
