1. Select entity
2. Hide layer of selected entity
3. Reference points are still visible

Affects versions 3.12.0, 3.12.1, 3.12.3

It is not possible to draw ellipse aligned to bounding box.
Please see constructed red “EP” and green “El” compared to white circle,
bounding box [-100,+100][-100,+100].

QFileDialog should use the DontUseCustomDirectoryIcons flag; not much may be lost, performance should increase orders of magnitude for most – https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/54983/

I did noticed a bug in the lib: Indeed, the handle numbers that DL_Dxf is parsing are in most case incorrect.
I believe this is due to the way then handle number is parsed in DL_Dxf::processDXFGroups.
The handle is parsed by calling the function getIntValue, which itself calls the function toInt to convert the handle from std::string to int by calling the function std::strtol(handle, NULL, 10).
However, the handle numbers in a dxf file are stored as hexadecimal.
I wrote a quick and easy fix to this issue, just tell me if you are interested!

“Autotrim” ignores status on invisible and/or blocked layer and will still trim along invisible entities.

If I try to draw a circle between two little circles with a radius (e.g.) of 3000 the tool shows me only two possibility’s - but there are much more. If I make a counter test with the tool “2 Tangents with Point” all possibility’s are correct shown.

first pic “2 Tangents with Point” correct,

second pic “2 Tangents + Radius” incorrect,

In the head of the new task form there is a “search for existing…” link to ribbonsoft.com even though I am browsing flyspray on qcad.org; maybe this can be made a relative link?

I only noticed today (perhaps they were available earlier?) that there are 64 bit binaries for windows; I suppose these are true 64 bit.

Yet, the installer prompts me to put them into “Programs (x86)”, where all the 32bit software lives, I guess - this seems to be a pure convention though, the application runs just fine.

Maybe the reason is, that the 32bit version was installed before; Maybe it should change? Maybe it should stay, so that there are not two?

Attributes are not fixed on their layer. When changing the content of an attribute the content is automatically placed on the active layer not on the attribute layer.
It would be much better if changing an attribute would not result in a change of the assigned layer.
For an example look also on www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=3870

When you change the content of a block attribute the changed content is placed on the active layer not on the original layer of the attribute.

Exception in RPolyline::getLengthTo if no segment is found while setting start / end point.

1. Click line tools button
2. Click button to draw lines with 2 points
3. Draw line
4. Right click
5. Click back button in CAD tool bar
6. Click Circle tools button

Circle tools not shown

When I try to make a tangential snap of an existing line to a circle by moving one line end to the circle, qcad snaps to a wrong snap point on the circle.

When you draw a line to a circle the offered snap points (orthogonal, tangential ...) are ok.
But if you change a line by moving an end- or startpoint qcad gives you snap points corresponding to the opposite endpoint of the line.

Selection Filter “Any” “Color” “= (is)” “<Color>” does not work.

Hi !
im’ trying the 3.12.4.0 base version, on linux mint x64 and i have found a problem in printing/exporting..

To replicate the bug:
Try to draw a simple form, for ex a circle, and draw a center of this circle using POINT function.

Now if you make a print preview, then CENTER the circle in the page and try to export to pdf or print, the circle and the POINT (center) are ofsetted !!

i have try to make the same operation with 3.9.5 and i have no problem !!!

I just compiled from github master 10dd588243cce87eb9a7c901ebd77c70464bcb94, and discovered that the Property Editor does not display the values of the “Linetype Scale” or the “Draw Order” anymore, even though they were properly displayed in version 3.12.1.0. The gui text boxes allow the values to be edited, it seems, but the current values are still not displayed after entering new values.

Tested on Arch Linux, 64 bit.

Texts and dimension labels not exported to SVG if text rendering is set to “Render text as text”

Installed latest release.

Checked for update and no connection found: See attached image.

• Hide action in menu, tool bar and CAD tool bar
• Key code of action is also disabled

This also affects actions which are never added to a menu, tool bar or CAD tool bar (e.g. property editor layer menu).

When the currently active layer is locked and some objects from another layer are copied and pasted, they are pasted into the locked layer.

Omitted attributes of line, circle, ellipse, rect should default to 0.

Selection by colour is not working when using Selection Filter tool.

Draw several lines, circles etc. Change colour to Yellow for example and use selection filter to selet ‘Any’ by colour Yellow - it fails for me.

Selection filter should offer choices “By Layer”, “By Block” for “Color” property.

Exception in View > Add View:

TypeError: Result of expression ‘validator.validate’ [undefined] is not a function.

Affects Qt 5 (QCAD for Windows 64bit and Mac OS X 64bit)

Using context Menu - Break Out Gap not working

From Context Menu - Move/Copy not working

It seems that when selection is required to use a modify tool, right clicking for context deselects - of course!

Context Menu suddenly stopped working ?

Yep, tried everything I know of, can’t get it back.

Presumably after entering a search filter one would press enter on the keyboard, when I enter for example ‘Line’ and press enter the dialog closes and nothing happens ?

My settings for Coordinate Format: Decimal Point = Dot

Accidentally using a comma instead of a dot in a value field leads to a wrong result without any warning.

Test:

Using the “Rectangle with Size” tool accidentally with a comma will not trigger a warning (red text) and it will draw a wrong sized rectangle.
It seems to me that QCAD is using the after comma value to draw this rectangle.
Given value 30,5 by 50,7 leads to a rectangle 5 by 7
Crazy values like 1.,.35 by 71.,.75 are also accepted and leads to a rectangle size of 35 by 75 without any warning.
A crazy value like 71.,..75 will finally trigger a red text warning!

Counter test horiz. Line: Value 100,25 leads to a line with 25 in length.
Value 100.25 leads to a line with 100.25 in length.

Using the same tools with the correct separator will work as expected!

Same game with most of all other tools which are asking for a given value. No warning at all - just wrongly accomplished.

Intersections between polylines and XLines (infinite lines, contruction lines) cannot be found in some situations.

Tolerance input field in simplify tool has no effect.

When I updated to the most latest version of QCAD I now have no library items - all gone!

Using two monitors where QCAD is on the left monitor with the right monitor being my laptop.
I close QCAD, then disconnect the second external monitor. If I now restart QCAD on just the laptop, it starts in a ‘virtual’ area as if the left monitor was still there. QCAD icon appears in the toolbar but there is no way to move the application back to the main screen.

When “offset whole polyline” is selected and the mouse is moved over a rounded polyline, the preview is not working at least in Window 7/8.
This worked in older versions e.g. 3.6.3.

There is an example appended with an edged inner polyline and a rounded outer one. For the inner one, the offset preview is working as expected, for the rounded one it isn’t. Tested on two different PCs, one Win7 and the other one Win8.

1. Select block to place into drawing
2. Change x-scale to 1/3, observe grayed out y-scale shows (.333)
3. Click chain to unlink x & y scales
4. Change y-scale to 1/2
5. Click chain again to relink x & y scales and y-scale box grays out but 1/2 remains
6. Block is placed using x = 1/3 and y = 1/2 even though the chain shows x & y linked and 1/2 grayed out

Editing redundant properties in the property editor has no effect (e.g. length of line, area of circle, ...)

I am seeing duplicate zoom buttons in the View toolbar, and also under the View menu. Under Application Preferences→General→Tool Settings there are also multiple entries for these, with Shortcuts and Commands highlighted in red (means there are conflicts?). This is the QCAD/CAM version on Linux 32-bit Debian “testing” release. I also tried the same version on Windows 7 64-bit and am not seeing this issue. Screen shots attached.
