QCAD Bugtracker

QCAD has a lot of features and buttons, probably more that the autocad I’ve been using. Therefore the learning curve is too slow. It would be a great boost for the program to have the possibility of having an Autocad skin, and it will attract many new users.

DWG files created with QCAD display really fine now in autocad. There are only two minor issues for ACAD users:

1) ACAD complains, that they were not created with a licensed application. One may not be able to work around that one...

2) ACAD complains, that the file does not specify a codepage. For this one, there should be a way around, shouldn’t it?

I am very happy with the compatibility in the new QCAD. Thank you very much for all the efforts that went into it!

Open drawing and Auto Zoom will also use invisible Blocks for the displayed Zoom Factor.

Auto Zoom should not be applied every time you go back and forth between editing a block and the main drawing.
At least, not by default: it just isn’t practical. QCAD2 didn’t do it...

Exception in BreakOut.js

If I have to “Auto trim” a line between to construction (or what ever ) lines the Auto Trim function works as expected!

If I use the same constellation with an arc the Auto trim function will give me an uncontrolled, unexpected result

Move cursor near spline, e.g. when drawing line with auto snap active.

Auto fit to paper fails with some drawings in inches

e.g. Bathroom mod 2.dxf

Ziehe ich mit der Maus eine normale Auswahlbox wird bestimmte (nicht alle) Bemaßungen ignoriert welche geänderte Label haben. In meinem Fall z.B. <>” (reality check)

Title says it all. Cannot get QCAD to synchronise attributes on Fedora 19 box with QCAD 3.2.2 installed as the machine hangs (a single core of CPU maxed out). This is not present on my Windows machine (Windwows 7).

I can provide a sample file privately if needed.

- Add layer

- Draw line

I consider this a bug or at least poor software design.

When I edit the drawing preferences and change the arrow size (under the Dimensions tab), the arrows of my dimensions change as expected, but those of the leaders to not change.

No drawing preference exists to adjust the leaders separately, and scaling a leader does not scale its arrow. I currently must delete my leaders and redraw them completely to change the arrow size. Very inconvenient.

P.S. I’m using QCad 2.0.5.0-Free-1 (Community Edition) and didn’t see that version in your list. Does it have another name?

Arrow heads on leaders are missing every time files are opened.

Arcs rendered with QPainterPath::arcTo are not precise. Especially the start- / end point offsets are confusing. Differences are up to 0.01 units.

Support arc length dimenions (undocumented DXF entity ‘ARC_DIMENSION’).
Create arc length dimensions with parallel extension lines for angle < 90, orthogonal extension lines otherwise.
Display arc symbol beside or on top of label text.

Äquidistante:
Spelling correction: “Polyline” instead of “Polzlinie” ...

It is common practice in MDI apps to use the title of the active tab for the main window. Right now this is always “QCAD”. It would be better if it reflected the name of the drawing in the currently active tab.

Dimension font setting as default for new drawings has no effect.

1. Search the Tool Settings for “View” and you will only find “Overlays” without the submenu information.
2. Check View manually without a search will provide the submenu information.

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

In the “Application Preferences”-menu a click on submenu “Shortcuts and Commands” freeze the application for a view minutes.

command preferences (application preferences) work one time if close, then need to close and open qcad for new preferences.

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.

RC1 is lazy in saving appearance to config. I noticed, because it always started with default window size. Maximizing was not carried over, also the panels were consistently reset.

Only when eg. dragging the handle to change cad-toolbar width not from preferences it would write an “appearance” section to the config file.

The appearance section should be written rather sooner than later.

Rename everything from “RSFramework” to “QCAD Application Framework” (qcad_application_framework.pro / dox / doxyfile ...).

Strange behavior when adding a simple angular dimension between two lines.
Command:dimangular shows in Command window, but there are no prompts displayed to select first line or second line.
If I proceed and select the first , then second, the Dimension Arc Location: prompt appears and the dimension is properly added.

http://www.ribbonsoft.com/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=1734

Angle dimension shows always arrows instead of architectural ticks.

Pressing TAB should directly activate the corresponding text-field if a tool is activated where a numerical value can be set in the Option toolbar.
Pressing TAB again should select the next text-field in the Option toolbar.

If the last text-field in the toolbar is activated pressing TAB should deactivate the text-field. Pressing TAB one more time after this should again activate the first text-field.

“check for updates” works at boot even though unchecked in application preferences.

Allow moving (undocking) of CAD tool bar (similar like command line can be undocked).

Allow users to enter numeric values as fractions in the format ‘number numerator/denominator’, for example ‘7 3/4’.

Values might also be represented that way in the property editor and in other places of the user interface if desired by the user.

When defining block attributes, the default text alignment is center.

I changed this to align left and copied an attribute (ctrl + C) and then pasted (ctrl + V) fourteen times.

As I opened each one up with the editor to change the tag information, I noticed that every copied/pasted attribute definition had changed to align right.

I purposely set the first one back to align left and copy/pasted it a few times. Each paste had the attribute text set to align right again.

OS: Linux Mint 18.3 [64-bit]
QCAD Pro: 3.19.1.0 [64-bit]

A new tool to align text around an arc would be good.

Aligned dimensions are not displayed correctly after loading. Definition point and text position are set to NaN.

I would like to get a button, which allows alignment of text to slanted lines (diagonal).
Copying of angle in line properties to text attributes is not so comfortable.
