QCAD.org Forum

Hello,
using 3.25 version of QCadCam and there is some strange things with import .dwg files.
First is angle and hole dimension.
File 0030.dwg And second is too much diameter dimensions from zero coords.
File 0002.dwg Tested in old Solidworks 2DEditor, EDrawings and VariCAD viewer with no prob.
This happening on many drawings i have
Thanks.

The dimensions in this file are stored with invalid / wrong coordinates.

The way this works is as follows:
- Each dimension is stored with various reference points that define from where to where the dimension measures, where the dimension line is placed, etc.
- Each dimension is also stored with a dimension block which contains the visual representation of the dimension (lines, arrows, etc.) as a type of cache.
- Usually, these two sets of information correspond with each other - in these two drawings they don't.
- Other CAD applications might simply show the cached dimension block, regardless of the reference points stored in the file. Note that if you modify such a dimension ever so slightly in another CAD application (e.g. by moving a reference point slightly), the dimension will be re-rendered and will look as shown in QCAD.
- QCAD always renders dimensions from their reference points. Dimension block caches are ignored.

You can force QCAD to use these dimension block caches using the command line switch -recompute-dim. This is only recommended if you only want to export or print a file "as is").

Ok.
Thank you for answer.
With this option working perfectly.

Hello ,
like i said, with this option "-recompute-dim" importing work ok.
I tried to export as SVG, there is no problem with result
But if i want to export as PDF i must change paper size and then these dimension lines are back
