Double hyphens in text entities lead to double hyphens in SVG comments which is not valid.

- Create hatch with pattern “ANSI31” (or other).
- Move cursor along boundary with auto snap
- Auto snap finds intersections between hatch pattern and boundary or other entities close to the hatch boundary

Create dimension with fixed extension line length.
Set scale to 2.
Save / Load or Reload.

→ Extension line length no longer fixed.

See:
https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=7313

A hatch might move instead of being stretched if the hatch is partially inside the stretch area but the visible hatch pattern does not intersect with the stretch area or only contains points.

Circles in mirrored blocks are not exported or exported with negative radius (not shown in SVG).

Attributes with fixed color take on color of block if preference Edit > Application Preferences > Layer > Compatibility > Layer 0 behaves differently is activated.

Viewports only display entities on the zero plane.

Crash when drawing contains viewports.

Dots in line patterns are not displayed / printed at extreme coordinates.

- Create block with arc or circle
- Auto snap / reference snap does not snap to reference points at circle / arc max / min coordinates

Arcs in nested scaled and rotated blocks are not always rendered properly (too rough, too fine).

The preference

Edit > Drawing Preferences > General > Linetype > Scale of linetypes matches the scale of each viewport

should take the individual line type scale of entities into account.

1. Load drawing
2. Create new drawing
3. Add toolpath / tool
4. CAM > CAM Export

Fails to identify current config (post processor).

Create drawing in Meters.
Create line with line weight 0.25mm.
Line prints as 1cm wide as minimum line weight is forced as 0.01 drawing units (i.e. 0.01m) for printing.

- Create clockwise arc
- Convert to polyline
- Assign segment end width > 0

Block scales are not applied to the radius of arc segments of polylines and arc boundary segments of hatches.

Arcs in blocks are not rendered smoothly if the block is inserted with a scale factor > 1.

Auto detect page orientation based on width / height of document.

Add preference for library browser icon background color.

- Open a DXF file with CECOLOR (current drawing color) set to 256 (ByLayer).
- Save DXF
- CECOLOR has changed

Duplicating layer “0” results in duplicate entities on same layer instead of new layer.

Hatch of full circle (loaded from DXF) does not export to SVG.

Wrong orientation is returned for polylines with large arcs (>180d).

Replaces  FS#1967 .

Create polyline from clockwise arc with total angle > 180°.
Export as SVG.
SVG path arc data does not export sweep correctly.

Create and insert a block with entities on layer “0” and layer “1”.

Switch off layer “1”.

Auto zoom zooms to block boundary of all entities, including those on layer “1”.

Layer states in DXF/DWG files may contain NULL layers (likely deleted layers). Import fails in these cases.

The problem is related to PDSIZE being set to 0 which means “5% of drawing area height”.

Create text with formatting:

\fArial|b0|i1|c0|p0;R\fArial|b0|i0|c0|p0;\S^2;

i.e. Capital, italic R with subscript 2 (not italic).

Edit text.

Formatting changed to (invalid):

\fArial|b0|i1|c0|p0;R\S^\fArial|b0|i0|c0|p0;2;

A margin of 0px can still lead to a margin if width is much larger than height or vice versa.
