Some layers can not be shown anymore

Post by Pancho » Mon May 22, 2017 2:07 pm

Operating system: Win7pro

I was working on QCAD3.12 and everything worked well.
I have just updated to QCAD3.17, the latest version, and now I can not see anymore the other layers of the design...
Even old design files (not modified by QCAD3.17) have the same problem...
I attache an old design file and only the viewable layers saved are still visible...

Can someone help me?

Thanks a lot!

Please enable (check) Edit > Application Preferences > Widgets > Layer List > Show frozen column

You can then show and thaw all layers if desired:
Layer > Show all layers
Layer > Thaw all layers

Some of your layers may be frozen or hidden or both.

Thanks Andrew for your answer.

in 'Edit > Application Preferences > Widgets > Layer List' I only have 'Enable alternating row colors'.

I can see in the layer list the icons 'visible' and 'lock'. And even if I click on 'Show All Layers', only the layers that were visible during the last save, contains something. All other layers looks to be empty...

Are you using QCAD Professional or the free QCAD Community Edition?

I have installed QCad professionnal and remove the professionnal plug-ins (as asked at the first run).
So I'm running the free QCAD Community Edition.

I have installed in an other folder the version 3.12.6 and I can see the drawings of all layers with this version.
Why can I not see them with version 3.17?
So, I continue with 3.12.6 for the moment.
Thanks for your help.
