Details

The modify tools → stretch command does not appear to function.

The two attachments contain the source drawing (blackburne_engine_breather_0210A.dxf) and five screen shots (qcad3_rc3_stretch.odt) showing the steps taken to replicate the problem.

I have also performed a similar exercise with a Linux trial version 3.0 RC2 (OpenSuse 11.4) with the same result.

Can you please try to 'draw' the stretch area well over the edge of the part you want to stretch as shown in the user manual at:
http://www.ribbonsoft.com/qcad/manual_reference/chapter28.html#10

Stretching means moving all end points inside the given rectangular area. If the area is drawn with a zero height or width, nothing will be stretched.

Next release will allow for zero-width / zero-height box and support the way you tried to stretch.

Thank you for the clarification. I was following what I did in v2.2.2.0. Not realising that I was missing a trick.
I have now been able to stretch the entity. Thank you for including this anomaly in the next release. Regards.
