In script SaveAs.js on line 104 the sourced filename is correct.
When this is not empty on line 147 the fileDialog should select this file in its own path.
The testing sequence in the topic shows this is not always the case.
I am using the system file dialog.

Firts setting the corresponding folder for the fileDialog seems to fix this:
147 if (fileName.length!==0) {
148 fileDialog.setDirectory(fileInfo.absolutePath());
149 fileDialog.selectFile(fileInfo.absoluteFilePath());
150 }
151 else {

Dear Mr Mustun,

I’ve got a problem similar to issue 2354.

Sometimes I have to create bigger drawings. Therefore I often create a “main drawing” and some “detail drawings”. I usually do the details in “detail drawing” and transfer them to “main drawing” by using “copy with reference” and “paste”. Until a few days ago it worked quite properly, but now it doesn’t anymore.

Today from issue 2354 I’ve learned that qcad doesn´t use windows clipboard. Can you tell me an alternative way to help me, please?

OS: Windows 11 Home
QCAD: Professional 3.27 (.4 ?, purchased July 29th 2022) 64 bit

Sincerely, FW

Tested on a Win7 32bit and a Win10 64bit system.

With App.Prefs defaults for new drawings set to mm, mm, metric.
Inserting a ‘CubeCuttingOut’ with the default size 10 into a drawing in inch results in size 0.39370079” what is indeed 10mm.

One would expect it to be sized 10 units of the target drawing.

Recently reported by Husky concerning the QCAD Utilities by MikeJ.
https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=9429&start=15#p38045

ScriptItems are first created on a new (offline) document.
QCAD will then adapt the size with unit conversion.
Then it will scale, rotate, flip according the ‘Insert Script’ tool options.

This is fully predictable for standard library items where the source is a dxf file with a defined unit and no unit conversion would occur if the library source unit was ‘None’.

I then assume that this can be fixed with setting the new RDocument in InsertScriptItem.prototype.beginEvent its unit to ‘None’.
Not knowing what the intended behavior should be for any other case, source or usage ...

Select an object, e.g. a block or text. Hit G P to open the object’s properties.

Select the text input for the X coordinate. Add the string +0.1 to the end. Hit enter. The coordinate is increased by 0.1.

Repeat this for the Y coordinate. The coordinate always becomes 1.

Repeat this a second time, for the Y coordinate, without closing the properties dialogue in between edits. The coordinate updates as expected, e.g. 1.1, 1.2, 1.3...

The “Any” filter matches no entities.

Only prints on A4 size paper, no matter what settings, print or pdf export, print from model or from layout block

When using SVG export on a drawing with a block defined, the export is incorrect. Arcs are drawn incorrectly and parts of the block are missing. If that block is exploded, the SVG export is correct. Attached is a block on the lower left and the same block on the lower right after explode. Also attached is the resulting SVG file.
This is not always the case. Some blocks are correctly exported to SVG. The upper row is again a block on the left and the same block exploded on the right. It exports properly.

Andrew,

Trace Bitmap requires a selection.
QCAD stalls when the first entity id is not an RImageEntity .

The prevImageEntity.getFileName() in the beginEvent will throw an exception for all but an RImageEntity.

The odds are against us that in a multiple selection an image is the first id.

I think you need to filter on image entities like later in the applyOperation function.

CVH

Andrew,

When selecting a Hatch entity:
For a solid filled Hatch the boundaries total length is given.
With a pattern that returns the summed length of the patterned lines.

I think that the recent performance update for RHatchData::getLength returns something different than intended.

Reported in the QCAD Forum by TSG on a macOS Catalina system.
Details on this topic can be found at https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=9603#p38738.

Edit: And it fails often to read the menu at all at the first time. A second try will display the information ...

Andrew,

In “Loop not closed at point 120.079/259.997.” we can not use the coordinate as such.
With my preferences I would need 120,079;259,997 as a valid coordinate to enter in the command line.
I do this ‘translation’ in between in Notepad.

Not that personally my boundaries are frequently off

Reported by <OttoZ> in:
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=89&p=38836#p38829
‘Die Koordinaten lassen sich nicht kopieren, sonst könnte man zur Fehlstelle springen.’

In all cases the “/” is not a valid Cartesian coordinate separator.
The dot at the end of the sentence is also not so common in QCAD.

For what I use QCad for it would be extremely helpful - and likely quite simple to implement - to have an option to display values (e.g. measurements of position and length) in inches only instead of feet and inches. I suppose if I were working in metric units the same idea would apply to centimetres only instead of metres + centimetres. Consider you have a line segment whose x-position is 3’ 11 17/32” and you need to move it by 2’ 7 13/64”. The math would just be a lot simpler if the “feet” measure were in inches - so 47 17/32” and 31 13/64”.

Shortcut Y+, Y- fails for selecting Layer Entities in a Layer List. Letter is ignored and +, - zooms the drawing

Shortcut YR, YE etc. fails for marked Layer. It works at active layer.

Insert Measurement / e.g. Point to Point fails within Coordinate (SX) dialog. It is offered for X and Y but I can’t find a way to use it. For a proper measurement with IP I need to use Autosnap etc. but that means I have to switch from Coordinate snap to an other snap with no way to return to use the d1 variable.

When a text string contains a double quote(”) character, the value is not quoted.
If the text string contains a comma, the value is quoted (using double quotes).

When a text string starts with a double quote, it is unclear which of the above two states is correct, making for difficult parsing. (Excel seems to assume the second state when possible)

It would make parsing much easier if the output csv followed the format provided in rfc4180, namely that

If fields are not enclosed with double quotes, then double quotes may not appear inside the fields
(2.5)

If double-quotes are used to enclose fields, then a double-quote appearing inside a field must be escaped by preceding it with another double quote
(2.7)

Just bought the software, seems to be fine except of the problem described in the title

Here’s the output in the console:

I run KDE Plasma (KWin window manager) on Gentoo Linux.

I have tested with several different builds of QCAD 3.27.8:

• Pro Trial qt5.14 (tar.gz distribution)
• Pro Trial (tar.gz distribution)
• Community Edition built by Gentoo Portage (https://github.com/l29ah/booboo/blob/master/media-gfx/qcad/qcad-3.27.8.0.ebuild)

If I use Open, Save As, and anything else that selects a file or a folder, the dialog does not show any contents, and the terminal prints an error:

Warning:  couldn't create slave: "Unknown protocol 'file'."

Some of the dialogs behave better by deselecting:
Application Prefs > File: Open/Save > File Dialog > Use system file dialog

So, looking through the code, I noticed that there is already KDE-specific handling to avoid using the system dialog, but it has probably been broken since switching to QT5, because Q_WS_X11 (and all other Q_WS_* global macros) no longer exist with QT5+.

I’ve attached a patch that fixes the usage of that macro. With that patch, in my portage-built Community Edition build, I no longer have to deselect “Use system file dialog”.

But, there are at least two places that do not respect the DontUseNativeDialogs setting:

• Application Prefs > File > Templates > Template Folders > Add
• Application Prefs > Widgets > Library Browser > Library Sources > Add...

I found the scripts source for the Library Browser PreferencesPage.ui, but I couldn’t find the same for the Templates selection, probably because that is a Pro-only feature (right?).

For the LibraryBrowser, here is the appropriate sections of code:

• The btAdd button on the DirectoryList: https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/scripts/Widgets/LibraryBrowser/PreferencesPage.ui#L135
• The DirectoryList‘s clicked function: https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/scripts/Widgets/DirectoryList/DirectoryList.js#L41

So, somehow this line needs to change to use the DontUseNativeDialogs setting, but I’m not sure how to do that (I don’t have much experience with QT development).

var dir = QFileDialog.getExistingDirectory(this, fileDlgTitle);

Assuming that Template Folders preference also uses the DirectoryList widget, fixing this should fix that pref pane as well.

Hi Andrew

Arch Linux x86_64 (up to date Nov 2022)
System Qt version: 5.15.7
Qcad Pro 3.27.8 64-bit

The ‘standard’ Linux installer for Qcad Pro 3.27.8 (qcad-3.27.8-pro-linux-x86_64.run) dumps core on either of the following actions:

- Help/’Check for Updates’

- File/Save As...

However, installing the ‘qcad-3.27.8-pro-linux-qt5.14-x86_64.run’ version built against a more recent version of Qt (as of Nov 2022) does not display these issues.

I am leaving this here in case it is helpful to other users.

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.

Hi
I tried to compile latest source to good old OS/2
I use Qt 6.2.4 and gcc 12.2.0
The build failed here....
Could you help me out to fix this error:

Just installed latest QCAD. Simple drawing. Add a dimension and it shows as per attached image. Have used Qcad on and off for years for doing simple drawings. Not a professional designer. Never had this problem before.

Notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type bool in /home/qcadch/public_html/bugtracker/scripts/details.php on line 222

Saw many other errors when I first logged on.

Rotating a Viewport will lead to rotate the drawing in the viewport but not the Viewport itself. This will happen during a creation process by using VT or afterward by editing a viewport in the Property Editor.

Case: Launch Print preview (first time), confirm dialog “Auto fit drawing to paper?” with yes, change after that the scale, close Print Preview, launch Print Preview - the last chosen scale what should be remembered is overwritten by the Auto fit scale.

Note:
The Auto fit scale stays persistent - even after reloading the drawing!

The option “Auto fit drawing to paper?” as a dialog occurs only the first time you use Print Preview - there is no way to change the chosen option later in a session or after reloading the drawing ...

Setting the paper size to A5 yields an invalid page size.

Andrew,

Seems to be a copy/paste but never re-edited kind of mistake.

Quick fix:
https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/scripts/Misc/MiscInformation/InfoCentroids/InfoAreaCentroid/InfoAreaCentroid.js#L1320 line 1320 should read:
return [centerPoint.x, centerPoint.y, centerPoint, radius*radius * Math.PI];

line 1318 was intended to replace the ‘area’ portion of line 1320 literally.
As is, the code in this line makes no sense and line 1318 should be removed.

Still have to investigate if the area of a full 360° arc sector/segment should be signed ...
... and if RS.AngleTolerance is required when comparing.

Andrew,

Hatches in uniform scaled blocks explode perfect among other entities, even a hatch pattern is scaled.
Hatches in non-uniform scaled blocks are exploded as not scaled.

One could scale the hatch boundaries non-uniform.
For solid hatches the pattern scale doesn’t matter.
For patterned hatches the pattern scale and angle is more problematic.
But why not explode it as is, the pattern is transformed as expected for the non-uniform scaled block reference.

Or one doesn’t transform the pattern at all but then the the non-uniform scaled block reference isn’t displayed correctly.

EXPECTED RESULT: Correct display of inscriptions (text in the bottom panel).

Same behavior: on first run.

There are not a lot of waterjet resources so I went ahead an tried to modify mygcode.js.

The issue is that plunge rate is entered in the tool and that shows up in the toolpath. The water jet wants to see that number to determine how long it holds in place to pierce the work. It needs it to be displayed as a prefix “S” followed by time in seconds and finally a period. I had been just hard coding a 2 second default time as I only cut glass but recently found some circumstance where I need different vaules. It is also more user friendly to get it to work correctly.

 	[// variables: Change Plunge Rate prefix from F to S
   	 //                   			 name,                  ID,                     always, prefix, decimals, options
		this.registerVariable("plungeRate",          "FP",                   true, "S", 0);

It needs to show up in the header as M1407 = [FP] which the water jet uses as a default pierce time after forced stop. In this instance it looks like M1407 = S2. This is working in the code currently.

For each remaining toolpath the Waterjet needs a pierce time.

M3
M8
G [FP].

And this is were it falls apart. I have red lined the gcode in a word document highlighting the first few problem instances. The first instance displays the value for Feed Rate and not Plunge Rate.

<CODE>: SELECT ALL

M3
M8
G4 S240.  Wrong value, should be as above "S2." but instead it grabbed the feed rate value from toolpath 1 "240"
