“” → default label
“.” → no label

No preview, produces invalid polyline

Rectangle select selects entities on hidden layers
Select all selects entities on hidden layers

- two lines on top of each other
- one line on locked layer
- one line on unlocked layer

Selection of the line on unlocked layer should be easily possible.

1. open example01.dxf
2. toggle draft mode
3. toggle draft mode

hatch is now visible in draft mode and not visible in normal mode

dimension arrows not visible in draft mode

break out for top segment of arc broken

trimmed entity ends up on current layer instead of original

disable for now or implement

1. insert a bitmap
2. open a file (PNG, width 262, height 320)
3. change the width where “keep proportions” is enabled
   • try to enter “100”
   • as soon as the key “1” is pressed, the value is adjusted to “0.999997”, the cursor is set to the end of the number

Hi, I open a drawing with Qcad2 and:
- The hatch angle is changed
- The linetype is continuos for all lines
- The “white paper” in print view not show

I add a screenshot

Greetings

Dimension labels in QCAD are (always?) centered on the dimension line, while in exported SVGs the text starts from the center and extends into the writing direction. This can trivially be fixed by adding the attribute “text-anchor:middle” to the respective SVG “text” nodes.

QCAD offers horizontal and vertical alignment choices for text. This is not carried over to PG exported SVGs. Currently QCAD sets the “dy” attribute on text nodes in a way, such that any text in SVG will look like the QCAD vertical alignment was set to “Top” and the horizontal one to “Left”.

Naively one can just omit the “dy” attribute and in SVG this will look like the QCAD vertical alignment was set to “bottom”. At least for single line texts that should be good.

The horizontal alignments can be recreated in SVG with the “text-anchor” attribute for text nodes. The values “start”, “middle” and “end” correspond to the QCAD “left”, “center” and “right” choices.

When PG exporting to SVG, stroke-widths are scaled with the drawing, while they should not.

The SVG PG exporter does not scale hatches.

Text scaling in PG SVG exporter is missing just two small additions: These attributes are not taken care of by now:

font-size, dy

Just use the current value times scale: eg 2.5 * 0.1 to have a scale of 1:10. Looks good here.

Points are not scaled when PG exported to SVG:

Points as crosses are created eg. like this:

d=m 2.5,3 1,0 M 3,2.5 l 0,1

and in SVG look fine like that (scale 1/10):

d=m 2.95,3 0.1,0 M 3,2.95 3,3.05

stroke-width should be left unchanged.

SVG PG exporter, scaled or unscaled, currently only exports the labels of dimensions. Missing are

ticks, arrows, and lines of the dimension.

It will not be as simple as inkscape does it, wrap it all in a <def>.

In print preview lines are correctly scaled to stay the same width when printed, ie 0.25 or so mm thick. Print preview shows that very good.

But the round line-caps mess up the display, as in small scale the line-caps start to meet and make the line look like a continous one.

Print preview should not only correct line weight but also line patterns, so that the distance between dashes increase by scale.

White text gets exported as white text, while it should be exported as black text. Just like it is with lines. Attached patch makes text rendering use the conversion function that is already in the code base.

Font styles “bold” and “italic” are not saved to file.

According to http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2011/DEU/filesDXF/WS1a9193826455f5ff18cb41610ec0a2e719-7a4d.htm it is saved in dxf as group code 1071 and according to http://www.autodesk.com/techpubs/autocad/dxf/dxf2002.pdf page 20 its type is “Extended data 32-bit signed long”.

Patch to PG export font styles “bold” and “italic” to SVG. (This only works when a file with the right style is loaded into QCAD, as QCAD will yank such style information upon saving.)

I noticed like this:

in a block pasted from the library, text would be under differently coloured lines, although it should be above them, and this does not look nice.

Drawing order inside of a block should not be changed by a paste operation, not?

Starting QCAD opens new empty drawing (Untitled 1).

After I open existing drawing, “Untitled 1” tab title changes to the name of newly opened drawing.

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

In previous versions I was able to add a diametric dimension to an arc or circle that is part of a block in the overal drawing.
When I try this now, the pogram resonds “Entity is not an arc or circle” the radius dimension gives the same error.
This is unfortunate, because typically dimensions are on another layer in the overal drawing.

Space bar does not change to keyboard input for coordinates, etc.

Both SvgExporters ignore the exportPoints setting. Attached patch takes care of that. To be applied from within the “scripts” directory.

Nitpicking in File/SvgExport/SvgExport.js, var properties is meant to be a plain Object instead of an Array, isn’t it?

Angle dimension shows always arrows instead of architectural ticks.

Hi,

When I try opening a file with blank caracters in directory name, Beta 3 reports a bug (see pictures attached). Error occurs only if I click on file icon. But no error occurs if I open directly in QCAD.

Regards,

I have a drawing imported from 2.2. I have tried to edit a block and the block window duly opens. However I can’t get back to my main drawing window. In the earlier version I could select a main drawing window. The window menu did not offer any other window to select. The window shown in the list was the name of the main file and clicking on it did nothing. The Tile and Cascade options worked but showed no other windows.

No way to toggle the grid view on or off?

Files given on command line don’t open if paths are relative (CWD problem)

Tool ‘Show only active layer’ not in layer toolbar.

Select → Contour (T, C) and click into empty space, will cause an exception, REntityPointer being a null pointer (0×0) and not false, undefined or something like that.

Various issues for grid info, property editor, dimensions, etc.

One can draw in print preview. If one does, QCAD starts acting confused, the model view gets restored with a fullbright white background.

Maybe best is to just disable all drawing and measuring in print preview?

Bug or Performance Issue? I’m not sure but it regularly trips me up and is counter intuitive.

In the right hand window generally if you scroll in the pane the list of items moves up and down as expected. E.g. Layer List and Block List.

However in Property Editor there are drop down list boxes and scrolling in the Property Editor pane dangerously scrolls elements within any drop down list that the mouse pointer happens to alight upon. This can lead to inadvertently changing properties.

I propose that a drop down list should not scroll until the list is opened. Scrolling in the Property Editor pane should scroll the Property Editor contents.

Snap to ellipse / ellipse intersections

Autosnap does not recognize the center of a circle as a reference point.

Hide layer / block should deselect entities on it
