Scenario 2: New drawing, using the Isometric tool leads to losing the layer list (not the layer!) but the isometric projection will be generated.
Any ideas on this?
Edit:
Scenario 1: Now I've realized (I used Autozoom) that the isometric projection is indeed generated - but far away from the mousepointer.
Scenario 1+2: If I create a new layer the lost layer list will come back.

Really? No one with any ideas on this? Means that that the problem exist only on my system and is not reproducible for you?
Houston - I have a problem ....

I didn't have time to look into this yet.
Can you try to explode it first and then use the projection tool?

Certainly but I can't explode Dimensions ....
My unprofessional opinion is that it has (at least) something to do with the dimensions in the drawing. Exploding a single dimension or the layer for all dimensions fails - it ends up in a frozen explode tool. I can reset the explode tool but that is all.
Is a dimension included in my selection for the Isometric tool the projection will fail. My chosen reference point is always ignored. QCAD will use Absolute 0.
If I switch the Dim Layer invisible - make the selection - use the Iso tool - the projection will be correct but the Dim Layer disappears from the Layer list. After using "Hide all Layer" / "Show all Layer" the entry for the Dim Layer will be back.
If I delete the Dimension the Isometric tool works again as expected - mostly!
I guess there are couple things what comes together regarding this unexpected behavior .....

You're probably right, yes. This is very likely related to FS#1081 which has been fixed for the next release.

Perfect - a discovered problem isn't anymore a problem. Now I'm looking for the next release. Thank you again!
