QCAD Bugtracker

Dear Sir,
I have noticed that in QCAD 3 rc4 it is not possible to open and edit font files.
This feature exists in version 2.2 and is indispensable to people using not common languages.
For example the unicode font does not have all greek characters, so I have added a few of the missing ones by editing the unicode.cxf font with version 2.2.
I kindly ask the designers to consider enabling this capability again.
Thank you!

Speziell gedacht für den Mobilen Einsatz wie z.B. auf einen USB-Stick um bei wechselnden PC Einsatzorten immer wieder die einmal gemachten Einstellungen für QCad benutzen zu können.

Right clicking at “view list” widget list results in Qt Debugger appearing with message

Uncaught exception at /opt/qcad-3.0.0-rc4-prof-linux/scripts/Widgets/ViewList/ViewList.js:46: TypeError: Result of expression ‘RGuiAction.getByScriptFile(”scripts/View/Remove/RemoveView.js”)’ [null] is not an object.
46 RGuiAction.getByScriptFile(”scripts/View/Remove/RemoveView.js”).addToMenu(menu);

When attempting to use the Lengthen tool, the Qt Script Debugger was activated. The following exception was noted:

Welcome to the Qt Script debugger.
Debugger commands start with a . (period).
Any other input will be evaluated by the script interpreter.
Type “.help” for help.

Uncaught exception at scripts/Modify/Lengthen/Lengthen.js:137: TypeError: Result of expression ‘this.entity.trimStartPoint’ [undefined] is not a function.
137 this.entity.trimStartPoint(is);

The application then crashed and report was sent to Apple.

In Windows 7-64, the view > toolbar options are only available by ‘right clicking’ in the main menu somewhere. They are not included in the view ‘drop down’ menu!

Previous working example script dwg2pdf creates empty pdf with QCad 3 RC4.
File size matches output of dwg2pdf in RC2, but output was ok in RC2.

when I try to move an entity via the command line using the mv command the entity does not move to the specified position. it works if i use the mouse. this was fine in rc2 and rc3 ubuntu 64 bit and windows 64 bit machines.

Hi Andrew

In Ubuntu 11.10 and Windows 7 everything so far is working ok in QCAD apart from the Library browser!

1.In Win 7-64 I can run the browser and make a new folder, but when I try to set the permissions/open the folder - browser crashes.

2.In ubuntu 11.10 I first uninstalled RC2 then installed RC4. QCAD program runs ok but this time when I try to open up the browser (not a new folder)I get an error message stating that I do not have permissions to open the first file (vehicle -I think!)in RC2? If I select OK in the warning window the warning just keeps on repeating the same message for the next and subsequent files until I quit it.

Import 3D polyline as 2D polyline from DXF/DWG

Like QCAD 2.

“Null Object ID” exception when saving a previously loaded file.

File: “fs515.dwg”

Hatch fails with more than one full-ellipse islands

See fs511.dxf

1. copy an item from one layer
2. add new layer
3. attempt to paste into new layer

Error message:
“Trying to draw on or modify entities on a locked layer”

The layer is not locked as I can draw into it...
Also tried turning lock “on” and then “off” again; still same message.

Crash in QVariantAnimation.

Potential fix: configure Qt with -D QT_NO_ANIMATION

TODO: check on other platforms

Add a zoom speed option in preferences

See RDwgEllipseImporter::import

Crash when launching QCAD with -quit option:

./qcad -quit

having multiple print configurations regarding visible layers, scale and paper centre saved in the drawing or in a separate file would be extremely helpful

Is it possible to add the “R” prefix (Radius) in the label drop box when dimensioning?

When adding a hatch in a drawing, the hatch is vissible and printable but after saving and closing some of the hatches have dissapeared when reopening the drawing.

After several attempts the same hatches in the same objects always dissapear or are not saved.

When needed i can send the drawing, please let me now!

having a line tangent on a circle, the Qt Debugger appears when:
- select trim tool
- select line
- mouse over circle

The debugger stops in line 326 of scripts/Modify/Trim/Trim.js (trimmed1.trimStartPoint(is2);) with the following message:

In the Application Preferences (but also in the Drawings Preferences) → Dimension → Default Dimension Settings → Label Format → Linear (and Angular) Dimension → Show Trailing Zeros, the example is wrong if the option is checked.

Tool that trigger long operations (e.g. rotate with complex entities, angle 1, 359 copies) can sometimes not be terminated after the operation is finished.

lacks compatibility with Leopard 10.5.8 PPC. I chose QCAD for this ...

If in the file’s name I’ve “/” (for ex. 2012/02/10) QCAD substite with “:” (2012:02:10). Regard the file’s name in the tab of QCAD.

Wenn ich versuche einen Block zu verschieben mit dem Ziel “Intersection manual” wird nicht die im Block ausgewählte Linie benutzt sondern alle im Block befindlichen Linien die eine “Intersection manual” ermöglichen würden.

Auch die visuelle Auswahlerleichterung einer Linie (Farbe ändert sich beim drüberfahren mit der Maus) wird im Block nicht unterstützt :(

In the 2.2.2 version was possible to suppress the display keycodes in menus. You can also restore it in version 3?

See attach.

With Mac OS X 10.5.8 PPC, in the Property Editor the entries are aligned at the bottom and not in the center. The strange is that in your screenshots on the site everything is correct (http://www.qcad.org/img/qcad3_mac.png). Add a picture for the problem.

In the “Preferences Panel” → “Graphics View” the checkbox “Show Crosshairs” not work. If it’s checked or unchecked the result is the same.

It would be nice to have a selectable fonts for dimension text.

QCad 3.0 RC2 on a Mac Leopard 10.5 (MacBook). Everything seems to work OK, but the lower left corner status bar text is in an incredibly tiny font, basically unusable. Same version of QCad on the Bootcamp/XP side of the MacBook is readable.

But I can’t find a preferences setting on either for the font size. On the old version it’s easy to find, but I think it got left out somehow on 3.0.

1. select hatch
2. click “+” in property editor to move selection to new layer
3. enter new layer name
4. OK

Solid fills projected as outlline

Windows fonts don’t show Unicode character 0×2300 correctly. This applies for GUI elements (e.g. combo box in options tool bar) as well as rendered text in a drawing.

Whe qcad runs a script from the autostart command line argument, then, if this script ends with an error, the qcad main function should not return 0, but something different, because the return value of 0 is conventionally used to indicate successful operation.

I enter this as a bug, rather than a feature request, because this convention is so entrained (at least in *NIX land), that it breaks fundamental expecations on application behaviour.

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).

data points display as either a dot (.) or a plus sign (+) on output to pdf or printer. There appears to be no constancy or control over the behaviour. Any way it could be forced to behave like Qcad-2 (i.e. line-weight controlled dot (.) ???

Issues with the ./qcad launch script:
- passing parameters, e.g. -style plastique
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH not set properly

Textfuntion:

Rufe ich die Funktion “Text” auf und schreibe einen Text wird dieser unwiderruflich gelöscht bzw. durch einen vorherigen Text ersetzt wenn ich danach etwas im “Main Font” verändere.
“Text Geometry” und “Alignment” funktioniert.

Selecting “Draw” and “Insert Bitmap” from the menu shows file dialog “Import Bitmap” for a split second and then crashes completely with segmentation fault.

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.

Draw a horizontal dimension. Stretch (S S) it. The label remains in place. It should instead go to the new center. (Unless it was manually positioned perhaps...)

Workaround: Pick one extension and drop it to where it was, label gets centered.

I’m getting frequent crashes for no apparent reason, in a variety of commands. Sorry, Qcad 3 is unusable for me at the moment.

‘Save as’ of loaded file should save to same folder as loaded file.

Move/Copy doesn’t work with the combination restricted horizontal and snap to intersection manually.

When using the Library Browser and I attempt to make a drawing a ‘favorite’in the browser it opens the ‘Qt Script Debugger’ and shows the following message: Uncaught exception at C:/Program Files/QCAD Professional/scripts/Tools/LibraryBrowser\db/DirectoryPeer.js:209: TypeError: Result of expression ‘source’ [undefined] is not an object.

A similar error happened every time I would try and open the Library Browser. I uninstalled and re installed but it didn’t fix it. I followed the advice in one of the forums on how to reset to default configuration and this seemed to fix it.

It would be very useful to be able to “dock” the library browser in the main QCAD window.

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.

Split from  FS#465  by Stefan:

After more testing, it seems that a solid triangle causes trouble, perhaps correlated to Z-coordinates and the property editor.

Attached you find a dxf example file with only 7 objects. Three noticable cases:
- Selecting all and change Selection in the property editor to “Solid” flips to “No Selection” although objects selected.
- Selecting all and change Selection in the property editor to “Line” shows “Length” and “Angle” in Geometry with “*VARIES*” values although only one line is selected.
- Selecting all but the solid object (6 objects selected now), everything works as expected, in particular Selection “Line” shows valid values (and Z-coordinate 0).

I hope this helps, please give instructions how to help if necessary.

After several hints (see IDs 464 and 465) I removed all non-zero Z-coordinates inside a dxf, so hatches seem to work even with pattern now. But after save and re-open, the hatch is not existing anymore (even with select all).

after saving with qcad3 and re-opening, sometimes there is an additional layer “Defpoints” for unknown reason (qcad2 did not, qcad3 does not always)
