still CANT Print 3 weeks, new block layouts/viewports & scale

Post by vdanny » Fri Oct 19, 2018 11:26 pm

Still can’t print (3 weeks now) Block layouts, Viewport incorrect + scale fluctuate? I was able to get 2 of 10 drawing pages to work, yet when I have tried to create other block layouts it won’t work. I’ve correctly created a new block layout (from the block menu) and named it, yet when I select a drawing with a new viewport for that drawing and then select the new block layout name (from the pulldown window) it instead brings you to an older one block layout name and or drawings, or on other scenarios it brings you to a page one that is off by 100 fold for both new viewport and existing and the scaling doesn’t work to correct it. I have gone to the new block layout name prior to new viewport and after escaping from viewport and the block layout name goes to that correct page. It just when I select the new block layout name from a new viewport that it isn’t working. I’ve tried then creating addition block layout name and still the same thing only the 1st 2 work the rest wont. I do not know why? I have included 3 screenshots and the qcad pro file.

That is a recognized bug which is fixed for the next release.

so HOW DO I PRINT?
Do I separate them into different Qcad files and the delete the other blocks layouts? and do the viewports delete with that deleted block layout?

No, till the next release comes out I would recomment to print directly out of the Model_Space ...

Workaround:

Use my modified dxf,
Launch "Print Preview" directly out of Model_Space,
Note: I used an Arch D, 1"=32" - certainly something what you can change,
Launch "Move to Paper Position" in the option Bar and move the Paper with the mouse to the area which has to be printed, Launch the printer dialog "Print ...",
repeat that for every floor,

This is only a workaround - the next QCAD release will solve the issue. :wink:
