QCAD Bugtracker

The attached file is not saving font preference.
All fonts on the online layer are reported as the standard font. If I highlight one or all of the text entities and change the font to something like Yu gothic light, the property page reports yu gothic light and the screen reflects the changed font.
If I save, close and reload, the fonts for all text is again “standard”.

So then I try to enter new text via the “A” draw text command icon. I select “Broadway.ttf” as the main font in the text entry dialog.
One word “Broadway” is entered as the text. it appears on the upper left of the screen as expected and the font name is Broadway in the property editor. If I look at the dxf file source there is a whole bunch of text styles.
I save and close the file, and then open it again. Now the word Broadway has changed to font name “standard” in the property editor and is very definitely not the Broadway.ttf font.

I am not the originator of the file, I am just trying to change the font. If I start a new file and enter new text the font saves just fine, so I am thinking it is a setting somewhere, but I am unable to find it.

We (me and my customers) use these files for engraving so exact font is critical.

The attached drawing shows two large concentric circles when viewed in QCAD but the inner circle is missing when viewed in other CAD programmes. This cost $50 in rework as my laser cutting was not cut correctly!

After I remove the .dll files from the pro trial version, right click stop working on Windows 10.
I went a little further to try identifying which of the 5 files specifically causes right click to stop working, and I found that it is qcadproscripts.dll. The presence or absence of the other 4 dll files that make up the pro version has no influence on this behavior.

The result of the tool CT2 depends on the position where the circle is constructed.

QCAD 3.23.0.2
File / New from Template fails in different situation like immediately after launching the tool, sometimes after changing directories in the dialog like from imperial to metric etc..
QCAD tries for ever (wait cursor) or even quits QCAD. It’s not a clear pattern ...

3.23.0.2 doesn’t works
3.23.0 works

Reported on Ubuntu 19.4, Win10

3.23.02 Block toggle switch for visibility fails.
3.23.0 Block toggle switch for visibility works.

Closed splines (Control points) are saved as “not closed” with a new knot (when DXF is closed and re-opened).
Is this behavious intended ?

The option “Cut inner paths before outer paths” is ignored, causing trouble when outer paths are cut first.

When using D2 on the vertical line (orange line in the attached example) a small zero length line is left over. This doesn’t happen if the vertical orangle line were a finite, line with two distinct endpoints.

QCAD Pro fails to write R10, R9, R2.6, R2.5 dwg files. Younger types and dxf work as expected.
Tested the issue back to QCAD 3.18 - no version is able to save those file types.

The original file is A5.dwg. I’m using QCAD professional 3.23.0. A5.pdf is converted by command line tool dwg2pdf.
I found the drawing problem in it. See the attachment file problem.png.

As you see, I write down 3 bugs in problem.png.

1. bug 1. The position of ‘green 90’ is wrong.
2. bug 2. The line width is too large. You can see dot in A5.dwg, but a line in A5.pdf.
3. bug 3. The ‘green 42’ is missing.

Thank you very much for your help!

Drawing created with a previous QCAD version has issues to be correctly displayed in the current snapshot.

same drawing opened in QCAD 3.23.4 - has problems to show inserted blocks correctly.

I use gcode ripper for some of my jobs. (see here: https://www.scorchworks.com/Gcoderipper/gcoderipper.html) This is a large python script that I use to wrap flat code around a cylinder for engraving. What I would like to see is a way to run it from my own custom post processor that I wrote for my machine. Maybe some kind of keyword that allows me to specify an arbitrary external command with some parameters. It would be very helpful to me. I create a lot of ad-hock jobs to run.

Thanks,
Chuck Tilbury

With some unit and scale combinations dots rather look like dashes.
https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=6685#p25325

Cases:

1. QCAD default start drawing:
Application Preferences, Page Tags enabled,
Load new drawing (Menu/File/New),
Launch Print Preview, Page Tags not displayed on print preview page,
Check Drawing Preferences shows that Page Tags are still enabled, turn it off, turn it on, confirm with OK makes the Page Tags visible on the Print Page.

2. Customized start template drawing - saved as template with enabled Page Tags - same behavior.

Hello
Qcad does not show! DWF-files. it seems, that the File is opened, but thre is nothing displayed on the screen. onl the Rastes is showed, but not the DWf-drawing.

Duplicating layer “0” results in duplicate entities on same layer instead of new layer.

Case:
Infinitive line,
launch Divide (DI),
click infinitive line

An orthogonal preview line should now indicates where the cut will happen when the next point is chosen.
QCAD version 3.23.0.5 displays that indicator below a variable angle to the infinitive line. Regardless what it shows - the cut will happen orthogonal.

Hallo Andrew,

I experienced some odd behaviour when using a final Regenerate All before an Export.

If I insert a bitmap the relative zero point (RZ) isn’t set at all. It will be set at the mouse position in the moment when I terminate the tool.

This leads among other things that I can’t use the Alt key for ortho mode or other tools for restrictions.

If I use accidentally explode on a ray or infinitive line the line will be deleted without a warning.

QCAD 3.23.0.5

1. If I use accidentally explode on a bitmap it will be deleted without a warning.

2. If I select an area with a selection rectangle as preparation for the “Clip to rectangle” tool all bitmaps within the selection are deleted - without a warning.

QCAD 3.23.0.5

- Open a DXF file with CECOLOR (current drawing color) set to 256 (ByLayer).
- Save DXF
- CECOLOR has changed

When I create a simple drawing, I cannot export the gcode until I restart qcad.

general steps to reproduce the issue:
1. open a new drawing
2. Add a letter “D” near the origin in Arial font, about 7mm tall.
3. explode it
4. save the drawing
5. Fill in in the “cam configuration” 6. Select the drawing and generate the tool paths.
7. Hit the “export button” or the menu item.
8. Observe that you see the “camexport” command appears in the command section, but there is no file generated for the gcode.

If you restart qcad, then the gcode will export as expected. Also, it appears to work for more complicated drawings. I had the same issue, when I tried to generate the same thing, but using the string “November 2019” at 5mm height. I am using up to date MX Linux with kernel version 4.19.0. I also observed this behavior under Windows 10 professional.

Hi,

Dimensions texts are not showing in layouts when using a Viewport scale of 1/100.
This issue is present in 3.23.0.6 but not in 3.23.0.

See this thread on the forum for more info and repro file:
https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=6725

Within the nesting preparation:
A left mouse click to add a sheet will always be confirmed with “Sheet added”, regardless of a proper selection or where the left click is done in Model_Space.

Description for the CAM Nesting alignment:

Quote:
Alignment: Parts are arranged with the chosen alignment in mind. An alignment of “Left - Bottom” means that parts are shuffled to the left (primary alignment) and towards the bottom (secondary alignment).
Quote end

I tested a few scenarios. e.g
a Top Left, Align → leads to a top right alignment,
a Top left, Hull → leads to a Bottom Left alignment,
etc.

Hi,
When a hatch have been offset in the Model then it appears incorrectly when rendered in a Viewport. It seems that in Viewports the hatch Origin value is not taken into consideration. This means that when adjusting a hatch in the Model to look correct (align along a line for example). This alignment is off in the Viewport.

See screenshots and attached test dxf file in this thread on the forum: https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=6742

Edit: After looking more into this issue is seems it is the Viewport’s position that is ignored when transforming the pattern into Viewport space. See the following gif:

https://i.imgur.com/vD8cOuC.gif

Above it can be seen that that pattern is always rendered in ‘worldspace’ since the pattern is static (the pattern is not moved when the viewport is moved around)
