1. Draw Spline from fit points
2. Mirror spline
3. Save as DXF/DWG
4. Load into 3rd party application
5. spline shape changed

Reconstructing the mirrored spline from scratch maybe used as a workaround.

I can not add or remove Points to existing Spline

After saving an open designed Spline QCad will open it the next time as a closed spline.
Trying to fix this in the Property Manager using “Closed Periodic yes/no” leads to an open but broken spline.

Pic 1 = designed
Pic 2 = saved/opened from HD
Pic 3 = Try to fix this with the Property Manager

Splines produced by Illustrator are not correctly imported or displayed.

While editing a spline with fit points, I accidentally moved a fit point on top of another fit point, which locked up the software (grayed out, not responding). I had to ctl / alt / del and end task to resolve.

I can’t find any documentation (Reference Manual / Book) about the possibility to change the “corner” transition shape for Spline’s (Control Points) with multiple mouse clicks.
1, 2 or 3 clicks = smooth to sharp corner.

In the feedback info for 3 Tangents (CT3) there is a spelling error!

‘tree’ instead of Three is used.

Many thanks Andrew for your input on task  FS#2359 .
However there were two other issues mentioned in the first task that seem to have been overlooked.
Italic text appears and disappears as I zoom in and out and if I try to insert italic text it will not show as italic on screen. Also when I try to insert an ‘ohm’ special character I only get a ‘?’ question mark.
Apologies if I’m doing something silly !!
Regards
Richard

Hi,
First of all, thanks for this wonderful product !

My issue : when I modify (at file level) some parameters like the number of decimals in cotations, or the linethikness of a calc, these modifications are lost after saving and reopening the dxf. It comes back to the default values. It is not the case for the colors for instance.

At your disposal for other informations.
Fred

It may be useful to implement the fade function in solid hatches, as present in the image options

Split from  FS#465  by Stefan:

After more testing, it seems that a solid triangle causes trouble, perhaps correlated to Z-coordinates and the property editor.

Attached you find a dxf example file with only 7 objects. Three noticable cases:
- Selecting all and change Selection in the property editor to “Solid” flips to “No Selection” although objects selected.
- Selecting all and change Selection in the property editor to “Line” shows “Length” and “Angle” in Geometry with “*VARIES*” values although only one line is selected.
- Selecting all but the solid object (6 objects selected now), everything works as expected, in particular Selection “Line” shows valid values (and Z-coordinate 0).

I hope this helps, please give instructions how to help if necessary.

Windows 7 -64
snapshot 3.0.3 - tool input fields showing ' Expression is empty ' , even after inputting values.

Using block library and inserting a block automatic snapping is broken id the block is mirrored.

Attached is one of the blocks causing the error and a screengrab.

Tried this on another machine with 2.6.2 with same bug

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

• Create block with text entity in it
• Insert block reference
• Snap tools snap to endpoints, centers, etc. of text entity shapes

Snap to reference points does not work for arc entities as one would expect.
The four points on the arc at angles 0,90,180,270 should be reference points (like for circles).

Wenn ich versuche einen Block zu verschieben mit dem Ziel “Intersection manual” wird nicht die im Block ausgewählte Linie benutzt sondern alle im Block befindlichen Linien die eine “Intersection manual” ermöglichen würden.

Auch die visuelle Auswahlerleichterung einer Linie (Farbe ändert sich beim drüberfahren mit der Maus) wird im Block nicht unterstützt :(

Snap to ellipse / ellipse intersections

... except reference points I can’t anymore snap to any line on a Dimension. To make a proper alignment I need to use the Grid or other entities.

Snap to center: does not work for circles in block references

Implement snap restrictions

the buttons works, but are not toggled (”restriction off” is always pushed)

• draw → line → snap coordinate
• draw → line → snap polar coordinate

'setButton'"Set"

problem: the option tool bar isn’t show at all

1. For some reason on the Window machine, the snap toolbar buttons are doubled for all functions. I therefore have two buttons for each type of snap and cannot access the bottom snaps unless I undoc the toolbar.

For some reason, this is still fine in the Linux Beta 3. Single buttons like always.

Reported by: koosjr

Snap defaults to auto. Auto snap gets slow in areas where there are many places it can snap to.

Could it be possible to add a ‘Snap to tangent’ tool? Please see the below image for an use-case.
Thanks in advance.

Vorgabe: Kreis der verschoben werden soll auf einen Punkt zwischen zwei Vertikale Linien.

Auswahl des Kreises,
Funktion Verschieben/Kopieren,
Referenzpunkt = Mitte Kreis,
Zielpunkt Middle Manuel,
Erster Punkt = Center 1. vertikale Linie,
Zweiter Punkt restricted Horizontal zum ersten Punkt,
QCad benutzt nun fälschlicher Weise den Referenzpunkt des Kreises anstatt den Center der bereits gewählten 1. vertikalen Linie ....

Snap to “Intersection manual” is only working in dependency on Line/Polyline orientation.

Two Polylines (not each other crossing): doesn’t works.

One Line, one Polyline (not each other crossing) works only in dependency on entity orientation.

Feature request? Bug? I don’t know ...

NumBlock Enter key is not accepted by “Coordinate” tool to confirm the settings in the option bar (green Arrow icon). Enter key on main keyboard works.

Very confusing when you are used to type in all numbers with the NumBlock (what is very fast) but to confirm you have to use the “far away” Enter on the Main keyboard ...

See attached file:
- The 9 center snapping points of the 24 bulging segments are all presumed to be incorrect
- For some segments the center snap is outside the arc shape from a bulging segment
- For some segments there are 2 solutions

- Create hatch with pattern “ANSI31” (or other).
- Move cursor along boundary with auto snap
- Auto snap finds intersections between hatch pattern and boundary or other entities close to the hatch boundary

The Snap “Reference” is perfect working on circles.

I would be nice to have this function also on Arc’s.
There are many necessities to attach a Horizontal or Vertical line on an arc or an “ex circle” (circle after a cut,)rounds etc. in a professional drawing.

When making an offset of a polyline with ‘round join’ enabled, and making a small offset of 0.0015 inches, no arcs are made, only coarsely interpolated line segments.
Further tests show that this is true until the offset is increased 0.040 inches; then the offset begins to create arcs.

The creation of arcs in a polyline offset with such small distances did work in QCAD 2.x.

The current startup script fails when called through symbolic link due to string:

DIR=${0%/*}

It is better to change it to:

DIR=$(dirname -- $(readlink -f -- $0))

Slower selection / manipulation compared to QCAD 2.

Andrew,

simple_modify.js
function paste()
10 * \param docDestination RDocument to paste into (or undefined for current document)

A) This should be a document interface of the type RDocumentInterface.
B) The function uses the parameter diDestination and not docDestination

Create simple text (no formatting)
Set x scale to a factor other than 1
Save and reload
X scale is reset to 1

Simple text tool does not create simple text but mtext.
When changed to simple in property editor, position does not work
