Entering a coordinate (e.g. 20,20) results in direct distance entry instead (angle from relative zero to mouse pointer, length 20).

Coordinate input broken.

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.

Using context Menu - Break Out Gap not working

Tools not working from context menu in paper space.

Context Menu suddenly stopped working ?

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

Provide context menu that shows “Change preferences”

1. opens the preference dialog
2. shows the appropriate page

E.g. for

• library browser (to set library sources)
• graphics view (to set colors)
• ruler (to set drawing unit)

Construction lines (’infinite’ lines).

Hi,

Using the Copy and Move command the [ ] Use current layer and attributes’ is confusing.

Perhaps [ ] change copy /moved set to current layers and attributes. is more suitable.

Configurable icon size for top toolbars

Enable / disable individual snaps for use with auto snap.

Complex linetypes not shown in line type choice

Complex blocks: moving with drag and drop shows whole block as preview (slow)

Complex blocks: moving does not update spatial index correctly

Complete loss of data in file doing this:-

Open a file with multi layer content.
Delete a layer (in my case this happened without any ‘are you sure’ checks, a bug in itself?)
Attempt to save the file.
An error message reports disk full or no permission. (disk not full and I logged on as normal)
Close QCAD beta3
Open QCAD beta 3 and attempt to load file. Error message reports no permission or unrecognised format.
Close QCAD beta 3

Open QCAD 2.2 and load file.
File loads ok but has default layer (0) only and no content.
Using Ubuntu ‘Properties’ file is reported as having a size of zero bytes.

I am following the instructions for compiling qcad from source

I am using fedora 24 and qt4

git clone https://github.com/qcad/qcad

cd qcad
qmake-qt4 -r this step ok
make release this step fails

If the order of blocks in a DXF R12 file is:
- block 1
- block 2
And ‘block 1’ references ‘block 2’, the import fails since ‘block 2’ is not defined at the time ‘block 1’ is imported.

A new toolbar that shows the last 5, 10 or so commands buttons used would be useful to do repeated tasks on a lot of drawings.

Hello,

since 3.17.1 (also on 3.17.2.0) it’s impossible to insert “@” in commandline, so it’s impossible to work with relative coordinates in all funktions like rectangle, line etc.
Please do a fast Bugfix, I need that functionality for workflow urgently

Regards

Andreas

Unable to use space bar to focus on command line to type in commands etc as in Version 2. Need to click in the command line first in order to do so - much easier to use press space bar!

Many times, after pressing the space bar to access the command line, accidentally an space character is added at the start of the line. It’s very difficult to see it.

The result is an error like this:

Invalid coordinate or distance ' @20,20'.

The request is for the command line parser to just ignore leading spaces.

Thank you.

@ sign cannot be entered into command line on German keyboards on which Alt-Q has to be pressed to enter @.

This is a Qt/Linux bug which interprets Alt-Q as part of a shortcut starting with Q.

Workaround: change shortcut of Reset tool from QQ to something else, not starting with Q.

Command line tools may not have permissions to create bat_log. Windows error:

Access is denied.
The system cannot find the file specified.
Could Not Find C:\Program Files (x86)\<tool>\bat_log

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.

Crash when launching QCAD with -quit option:

./qcad -quit

When opening or closing QCAD the command line isn’t staying active.

1. start QCAD (no arguments → a new blank drawing is shown)
2. enter “new” into the command line
3. close both drawings / tabs
4. click into command line edit field and press “arrow up”

It would be extremely helpful, if marked objects could be moved/rotated/scaled in a single step with two reference points as source and two reference poitns as destination. With a tool like this, “should match”-drawings could be merged easily.

Layers are great for organizing a project. For construction lines alone I sometimes use 3 and more layers. And then there are more layers for each part I design. Each with its own colour.

And when a project gets bigger I start wishing for a quick overview in the layer list to the colours I use on them. So I wish for colour indicators on the layer list to quickly identify the membership of a line to a layer.

I have a small image attached to make you see, what I mean.

light grey is printed as black starting with RC5 (was grey in RC4 which was fine)

I have a diagram with text containing subscripts. Trying to color the text other than black (white on screen) leaves only the initial character of the subscript colored:
I am using the Mac OS X RC3 version.

After creating the labels in drawing in Russian (Cyrillic), after saving and reopening the drawing file - changing the text encoding (??????????). Need to re-type the text ... How to fix this error?
