QCAD Bugtracker

as read in http://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=2957,
I want to edit my preferences, but it does not save from one session to the other.

I meet the same problem state here,
http://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=2269&p=7287&hilit=preferences+save#p7287 but the solution two have one change at the time does not work for me.
octal permits are:
120 -rwxrwxrwx@ 1 dr staff

should I change the group ?

In ini file at line 78, it points to a java script:
scripts/Pro/Edit/AppPreferences/ShortcutPreferences,
where is that stored ?

Create block reference with attribute
Copy block reference and attribute
Paste

The copied attribute is now associated with the first block reference instead of the second.

The hatch window does not open in version 3.16.1

The startup script still forces a QT-style; Getting bored of that one, qcad runs fine with the system default style - probably that was a qt4 thing, that can be removed, so it blends better with the DE?

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=”$DIR” “$binary” “$@”

Occurs when breaking out segment from closed polyline with more than two intersecting entities.

This also affects the hatch from segments tool when used with closed polylines.

Example:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qcad/qcad/master/scripts/Modify/BreakOut/Tests/data/closed_polyline.dxf

Rulers show only whole numbers.

- Create spline from fit points
- Rotate spline
- Spline shape changes due to erroneous start/end tangents

Similar problem when reversing spline from fit points.

Offset curve not trimmed / clipped correctly.

Offset distance: 2.5

I tried to hatch an area and the Reference Manual said all entities can be used but it doesn’t works at my example. Did I missed something?

The test drawing shows at the top the goal with exploded polylines. At the bottom I have rectangles (Polylines, drawn with the Rectangle tool) what is unfortunately not working.

- Draw circle inside other circle
- Draw > Hatch > Hatch from Segments
- Click both circles
- Right-click

@ 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.

The characters in Portuguese such as “ç é â ... etc ...” are replaced by codes starting with version 3.16.x
Files created with versions of QCAD 3.15.x whose characters were correct in the Properties List when opened by QCAD 3.15.x appear in this strange way when opened in versions 3.16.x.
However, in the screen and in the extraction of the list of attributes the characters are correct.
Apparently the error only occurs in texts on the Block Properties List and Attributes.
However, you can use correctly the characters in a file created from version 3.16.x

Exemplo: “dormitory’ in portuguese is “dormitório” it’s appear like “DORMIT\U+00d3RIO” when file is opened on QCAD 3.16.x

... for the Option bar.

The blocks that are included in drawings by version 3.16.4 do not obey the rule “select attributes along with block references” while in version 3.15.5 in the same drawings and for the same blocks the rule is obeyed.
Note: Blocks already included in the previous version will enforce this rule in the new version.

The error shown in the attached figure (print sreen) appears when you try to create a library item from the selection. Versions 3.15.5 and 3.16.4 on Windows 10 and Linux Mint; Sometimes terminates the QCad program.

Given is a drawing of two concentric arcs connected at the ends. (see attached drawing Circle_from_3_Tangents_1.png)

When I try to add a circle at one end by the “Circle from 3 Tangents”-tool, it does nothing.

I also tried it with another drawing (see attached drawing Circle_from_3_Tangents_2.png) - same negative result.

I then tried drawing Circle_from_3_Tangents_3.png. Here the tool only produces outside circles and misses the inside ones.

Hope you can confirm my findings.

Please attached file. When dragging a selection window across only the cyan lines -I get only one line selected?

I can not print and I can not export to “pdf” file.
I use the latest professional version of Qcad with windows 10.
Thank you

Since the launcher batch no longer requests “-style plastique” QT wants to apply the native style of the desktop environment. This fails on a headless system (or where the current user has no graphical shell to connect to) with the message “Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: “. Fortunately, QT provides a workaround in addtion to the new “platform=offscreen” flag.

In the tools that set -no-gui, beforehand export these variables into the environment

export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=""
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen
export DISPLAY=""

PS: QT-offscreen will not find fonts; unfortunately the workaround only allows for a single directory to search them (I need helvetica):

export QT_QPA_FONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts/type1"

Maybe that should get reported upstream, so that like LD_LIBRARY_PATH several directories could be specified.

by inserting and deleting many figures in the drawing the references to these figures are not excluded from the dxf / dwg file structure, if you exclude a figure and include it again, the reference is duplicated, etc .. this causes an increase of the size of the files dwg / dxf.

Add an option to create a solid fill hatch for shape tools.

hi,

I miss one Offset option to use an offset indirectly related to the used entity. Right now I have to work with further construction lines and trim, divide, delete etc. tools to archive what I need.
Basically an offset as a ray would be enough but unfortunately we have no control of the Ray orientation.
This said - it would be nice to have an infinitive line added to the “Offset Polyline Segment” option to be able to use an Offset as construction line which is not only reflecting the shape of the source.

Draw > Line > Parallel
- switch type to Line, XLine or Ray
- switch back to Auto
- Parallel is always line segment

Latin characters do not work in version 3.16.5 on Linux, such as ã, õ, é, à, the curious thing is that “ç-” works. If on your machine the Latin characters that do not work are not appearing follow a bitmap for visualization.

This is an interesting bug on my machine. The attached file crashes on 3.15.5, works perfectly well on 3.11.0 and 3.7.5

To see the problem open the file and click on the upper spline. QCAD disappears.

A curious fact is occurring here QCad 3.16.5 is aborting the opening of files in 90% of the attempts on a machine with native Linux Mint 18.1 and works normally in a virtual machine under Virtualbox in Windows 10, tests were done on the 3 machines (VM-Linux, Nat-Linux and Win 10) with QCad 3.15.5 and everything works normally. The two notebooks tested have Intel I-7 RAM = 8Gb Ram and 4 processors. Follow 02 files for evaluation.

I have many .dxf files created in QCad-2.2.2.0 (which I still use) all of which open in LibreCad without issues.

If I try to open a file in the version below (or an earlier fairly recent version) the file chooser dialog is empty.

Version: 3.16.5.0 (3.16.5)
Build Date: Feb 20 2017
Qt Version: 5.6.2
Architecture: x86_64
Compiler: gcc 5.4.0
OS: Mageia 6 x86_64 with plasma5 D.E

However if I copy a file name from the same directory using Dolphin file manager and paste it into the filename field in the chooser (which is showing no files) the file opens up correctly.

I reported this in Mageia bugzilla here against an earlier version but there was no response as I think the maintainer is MIA. https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18816

Today I decided to try the latest version in the hope that this issue would be fixed (I am also a packager with Mageia) but it is still the same.

I will add the build log as an attachment in case you see something that may be specific to our configuration.

It would be good if we could resolve this before the imminent release of Mageia 6 ;)

Running from CLI I see these around the time I open the file chooser dialog:

Hi Andrew

I have attached a file which was drawn in QCAD, but for some reason when exported to PDF from QCAD it doesn’t print out properly,all I get is the dimensions only.

When printed direct from QCAD all is fine?

Regards

Clive

Block attributes are not properly synchronized on QCad 3.16.5 after editing the block in the drawing, in Linux Mint 18.1 and in Windows 10; On Windows as less frequency, the error is intermittent, on Linux is constant. Attach the dxf to test.

Files imported from other CAD applications might contain blocks that are mirrored if the block reference uses an inverted extrusion direction.

Hi friends,

I have this traceback with my Qcad from ppa for linux, to export in png image:

This is not the only menu that didn’t work properly: moving the mouse cursor on the lower arrow made the list moving up; but is impossible to make the list moving down when I put the mouse over the upper arrow.
The only workaround (time consuming but effective) is to select the first upper paper size: selecting again the menu I can see tha current selection in the second position: I select the one above it; and so on, until I find what I need.

Zero length lines are not shown in QCAD. For best compatibility these should be shown as dots.

DWG archive opened by QCAD (15.X/16.X - Linux mint 18.1 and Windows 10) does not show traits that represent project windows, when the same file is opened by the dwg True view they appear, follows archive for evaluation.

Font substitutions broken for many cases.
Font “Standard” can never be substituted.

Qt menu heuristic causes Edit > Drawing Preferences to disappear with French locale under macOS.

Edit > Application Preferences and Help > About are moved to erroneous locations as well.

Hi, I have just tried updating from 3.16.2 (working) to the latest version 3.16.7 on MacOS Lion 64bit, and the new version crashes immediately on launch.

Blocks disappear (or their content does) after creating again with the same name. In attached file:

1) Created cirle
2) Select circle, BC, select center, name is ‘testblock’ 3) Repeat 2) – circle is now gone

Deleted (undone) block attributes are stored to DXF/DWG.

Hello,

There is some issues with the snap tool and the selection tool.The trim button only trims some lines but not all.

1. The snap tool does not let me snap to certain things when i select something. For example i will select a box and i will try to extend the corner to another entities corner but the snap is not there so its free and thus not accurate.

2. For some reason the selection tool does not allow me to select certain things. If i have two boxes overlapping and i use the selection tool (from right to left “green selection box”) it does not allow me to select what i want i have to actually click it. This is annoying when it comes to selecting specific things.

3. The trim tool does not work properly.If i want to trim the inside of a cross hair or such, it only allows me to trim the inside of one line and if i try to trim the other it deletes the complete line.

Please fix as soon as possible. Thanks

In print preview mode I click the button for drawing preferences.
I go to Printing: Page and change the offset for x,y in the viewport.
Then apply but the page has not moved and the autozoom still redirects to the old position.
When I redraw the window through the window manager or quit and reopen the printpreview the page has moved to it spot.
