QCAD Bugtracker

Hello

I noticed that
when the dark scheme has been chosen
the shortcut for any toolbar tool, shown inside tool tooltip
has color similar to the tooltip background
which makes it invisible.

QCAD version 3.22.0.0 (3.22.0) revision 2ba5a26
Checked on Windos, Suse, Archlinux.

Best regards
Jacek

Port CXF font editor to QCAD 3.

- Save back to CXF format

Cut / copy with reference and paste do not change command line prompt

I would like to get a submenu in properties to define own line types, i.e. one dash and three points or line + block.

Edit: Add support for custom line types defined in DXF / DWG files.

Assigning custom properties to entities and possibly layers and other objects.

Hi,

I added a new custom pattern into patterns/metric folder
However, even after restarting QCAD, new pattern is not showing in hatch dialog.

The user can choose from 24 different line weights at the moment.
Unfortunately, 0.1mm is not among them.

Please add the possibility (add a textbox) to set any line weight from 0 to max in 0.001mm steps.

Hi Andrew,

I would like to request an additional option in the dimension tool set to have a curved leader line, could be just the spline tool with an arrow on the end?

Regards

Clive

Ctrl-P not working in print preview

Linux only.

1) Tool Circle WC
2) CTR circletangent2radius

This doesn’t work between two circles !
I can make a circle that touches a line and a circle.
But I can NOT make a third circle with a given radius that touches two other circles.

All the other commands in this menu are working properly, can someone help me out ?

When doing the selection shown in attached image, only horizontal line gets selected.

This only happen in some drawings. When starting a new drawing all selects as expected but when increasing complexity some lines can’t be selected using crossing selection.

If you copy/paste to new file it’s still not working, nor in other computer.

It would be nice if QCad would print only objects inside page margins (i.e. to print a detail of a large drawing with margins). At the moment objects are visible up to page borders, and exporting to PDF with re-printing to a larger page contains even more objects.

1. load “scripts/Draw/Polyline/PolylineFromSegments/Tests/lines.dxf”
2. choose Polyline → Create from segments
   • the conversion isn’t done
   • the tool can be cancel with right click, but QCAD stays in strange stage using 25% CPU permanently
   • quit leads to segmentation fault

Tool “Create Library Item from selection” doesn’t takes the chosen Reference point ....

It seems that QCAD takes something around the absolute Reference by 2 times ..... ???

This is an interesting bug on my machine. The attached file crashes on 3.15.5, works perfectly well on 3.11.0 and 3.7.5

To see the problem open the file and click on the upper spline. QCAD disappears.

Hallo Andrew

Beim Skalieren(SZ), Rotieren(RO), Spiegeln(MI) beendet sich QCAD, wenn gespeichert wird. Änderungen werden nicht gepeichert.

When scaling (SZ), rotating (RO), mirroring (MI), QCAD ends when it is saved. Changes are not saved.

Crash in QVariantAnimation.

Potential fix: configure Qt with -D QT_NO_ANIMATION

TODO: check on other platforms

This code was executed in the Script Shell window. Then the program is failing of and closed.

a = addLine(0,0,100,100);
lengthen(a, true, 50); // success
lengthen(a, true, 50); // FAILED!

Hi!

it occorred to me now several times, that I have been working on 2 or more files simultaneously when suddenly on some operations layers from one file showed up in the other file. nothing was pasted when it happened just many files open, or few files with many layers in them. (about 100 layers, but sometimes also only 10 layers)
Today I disabled a single layer in one dxf (A) which caused all layers of the other dxf (B) to show up in the layer list (and the layers that should show up were all gone).

I knew this already from 2 more occurances and tried the best to undo all my changes in (A) before “emergency saving” (A). I closed one of the two dxf files (A), leaving one open (B). Everthing seemed pretty normal again. Then pressing the “hide all layers” button just crashed qcad without any message. That crash on “hide all layers” happened twice today). I can’t reproduce the crash right now, but will add details here when I find something. As far as I remember the bug occured already in qcad 3.17, but I’m now on 3.18.1

thanks :)
Martin

Opening a file which is (by accident) write only results in QCad crashing. Read only or read/write files are opened without problems.

As write only files do not make much sense, this should not come up too often...

Rename Courier.cxf font, correct courier in imported QCAD 2 files

please see below:

http://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=3781

Split from  FS#465  by Stefan:

Copy+Paste with paste in a new drawing results in Z=-13.6... which caused the problems of pattern-hatch and select-impossible.

I have 3 DXF files and I want to merge them all into 1 single file, so I copy/paste the first, copy/paste the second but for the last it’s impossible because QCAD paste the wrong copy. More I try and more the result is weird

See discussion at:
http://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2614

Hi,

often I’m in the situation that I have to create an additional Layer mostly based on the settings from an already existing Layer. Just a question of organization. This new Layer has then everything identical except the name and one(?) Attribute. This could be that only the color or the Line weight deviates.

Example:

Existing Layer

Layer name: Lot 47 area existing

Attributes

Color: Red

Lineweight: 0.35

Linetype: Dashed

New Layer

Layer name: Lot 47 area proposal

Attributes

Color: Blue

Lineweight: 0.35

Linetype: Dashed

Unfortunately if done manually it happens in an blink of an eye that the human imperfection (me!) makes a mistake and (e.g.) a “Center (.5x)” finds it way into the Linetype Field instead of a “Center (.2x)” ....

The workaround for a few User is to use in cases like this the Property Editor / General Property and customize single Attributes. In my opinion the first step to lose the control over your own drawing ...

A “Copy Layer” / Copy Layer Attributes” function would speed up this task and eliminate to a minimum the “human imperfection” factor.

I could imagine that a right click (like copy block) on the Layer triggers the “Add Layer” function and the dialog is already prefigured with the Settings of the Source Layer ...... ready for editing.
The new Layer itself is “empty” like any other new Layer.

Would it be possible like in AutoCAD and Draftsight, to copy (from CSV or TXT) into the command line of qcad a table with
vectorpoint to built up a Spline in QCAD ?

Sample:
Spline
10.5,10(LR+CR)
20.8,20.4(LR+CR)

and so on

this text would than paste into the command line, and works like a macro.

Will be very helpful to generate a Spline where the vectorpoint had been calculated with for example “Excel”

Kopiere ich Bemaßungen/Leader in die Zwischenablage und möchte diese dann wieder in die Zeichnung einfügen passen die Vorschau Proportionen nicht mit dem eingefügten Ergebnis überein. Eigentlich nur ein Schönheitsfehler aber es erschwert die korrekte Positionierung und die benutzung der Optionen wie skalieren, rotieren etc ...

The coordiantes (in the lower left corner) freeze while mouse is moving. Updates as soon as the mouse is stopped.

This slows me down considerably. I have to stop, wait (too see the coordinates), move, stop, wait, move back, stop, wait, move, stop wait... This gotta be a bug?

To have a tool that could convert splines to polylines would be useful, particularly for laser cutting work where a nice steady flow is needed, otherwise you can get an erratic ‘jumpy’ movement when cutting..
Maybe a ‘two’ step procedure;
1.First convert to arc/line segments.
2. Then if needed convert to a continuous polyline.

If you select (line) segments in a visible yet locked layer and choose “convert segments to polyline” (OG), the segments are deleted, but inserting the polyline fails.
So you can easily destroy locked layers by mistake which contradicts the idea of locking layers.

Select a polyline
Right click on it to show context menu
Set new position of start point
Tool stays active and does not properly terminate

Context menu does not show an entry to “Delete Node” for the first node of a polyline.
