QCAD3.ini may contain invalid positions for the main application windows, e.g.
[Appearance]
Position.X=-32000
Position.Y=-32000

This leads to an invisible main window after starting QCAD under Windows systems.

If the drawing unit is set to ‘feet’ and the dimension format is ‘architectural’ or ‘engineering’, the drawing unit should be implicitly regarded as inch for the purpose of calculating dimension values. Since QCAD uses the drawing unit, the dimension values are off by a factor of 12 when importing drawings from other products.

Panning with two-finger up/down left/right movement does not work with Qt 5 based builds.

Support arc length dimenions (undocumented DXF entity ‘ARC_DIMENSION’).
Create arc length dimensions with parallel extension lines for angle < 90, orthogonal extension lines otherwise.
Display arc symbol beside or on top of label text.

Application preference to show / hide scrollbars has no effect (scrollbars always shown).

1. Select block to place into drawing
2. Change x-scale to 1/3, observe grayed out y-scale shows (.333)
3. Click chain to unlink x & y scales
4. Change y-scale to 1/2
5. Click chain again to relink x & y scales and y-scale box grays out but 1/2 remains
6. Block is placed using x = 1/3 and y = 1/2 even though the chain shows x & y linked and 1/2 grayed out

I did noticed a bug in the lib: Indeed, the handle numbers that DL_Dxf is parsing are in most case incorrect.
I believe this is due to the way then handle number is parsed in DL_Dxf::processDXFGroups.
The handle is parsed by calling the function getIntValue, which itself calls the function toInt to convert the handle from std::string to int by calling the function std::strtol(handle, NULL, 10).
However, the handle numbers in a dxf file are stored as hexadecimal.
I wrote a quick and easy fix to this issue, just tell me if you are interested!

1. Select entity
2. Hide layer of selected entity
