1. Draw Spline from fit points
2. Mirror spline
3. Save as DXF/DWG
4. Load into 3rd party application
5. spline shape changed

Reconstructing the mirrored spline from scratch maybe used as a workaround.

If the order of blocks in a DXF R12 file is:
- block 1
- block 2
And ‘block 1’ references ‘block 2’, the import fails since ‘block 2’ is not defined at the time ‘block 1’ is imported.

Draw > Polyline > Trim Segments crashes if QCAD is compiled using gcc 4.2.1 which is the case for the Mac OS X package.

- Copy two block references of block “circle” which contains one circle
- Paste into new, empty drawing
- Pasted block “circle” contains two circles

- Select one single point
- Zoom to selection

Tick spacing is based on fractions for metric units.

E.g. if a block reference has its color set to ‘red’ and the block reference has an attribute with color=’ByBlock’, the attribute should be displayed in red.

• Select text entity
• Right-click on line edit of property ‘Plain Text’
• Insert symbol

- Create text with non-breaking space (\~)
- Edit text
- Text displayed with &nbsp;
- Click OK
- Text in drawing displayed with &nbsp;

Only affects files saved through dxflib.

Dimension font setting as default for new drawings has no effect.

Arrow size does not respect dimension size scale factor

1. Create XLine
2. Rotate XLine
3. Undo
4. Unexpected result

• Create block with text entity in it
• Insert block reference
• Snap tools snap to endpoints, centers, etc. of text entity shapes

Unitless drawings use metrical patterns, should be imperial for compatibility.

Linear factor of dimensions is reset to drawing default (DIMLFAC) if set to 1, even if drawing default is not 1 on saving.

Selecting the polyline is not possible.
Possibly related to update of DrawPolyline tool.

If third party files are loaded with linetype names with leading or trailing spaces, they cannot be saved.

Error:
“Invalid Symbol Table name”

This option seems to only work with the script debugger enabled.
See:
http://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=3091

dxflib strips leading / trailing spaces from text when importing DXF files.

Exception in BreakOut.js

Aligned dimensions are not displayed correctly after loading. Definition point and text position are set to NaN.

1. Modify > Divide
2. choose circle or ellipse
3. choose first dividing point
4. exception occurs

Files which don’t contain any entities cannot be loaded (bulk load of spatial index library fails with exception).

- Draw polyline
- Modify > Offset (through Point)
- Choose option to offset whole polyline
- Click polyline
- Click point

No offset polyline is created.

Complex linetypes not shown in line type choice

Draw radius dimension
Switch dimension settings to use “Architectural ticks” Radius dimension is still displayed with arrow

- Create drawing in unit other than Millimeter (Centimeter, Inch, etc)
- Project part of the drawing (Isometric, Orthographic, ..)
- Scale of result is off

Preview always shows maximum number of previewable rows instead of configured number of rows.

Property ColorSettings/BackgroundColor can contain localized color name in DXF.

Windows paths are expected to be consistent, but aren’t (slash / backslash mixup) which can lead to QCAD thinking that a source was removed even if it wasn’t.

Linetypes should be sorted in linetype combo boxes.

Anonymous blocks (with names starting with *, imported from other software) can be mixed up on writing.

dwg2pdf shows error under Windows systems:
Fatal: QWidget: Cannot create a QWidget when no GUI is being used

- enter the text A1 and format the “1” as subscript and with a different font size.
When you click OK, it will be something like: AH3.571431;
I have to manually edit it (source tab) to AH3.57143;S^1;

Exploding polylines which are closed both geometrically (first vertex equals last vertex) and logically (closed property is true) results in an additional zero length line after the last segment.

In some cases, loose arc segments result in errors.

Saving MText with linefeeds in escaped text causes corruption of file.

Edit > Duplicate duplicates all

Modify > Matrix transformation: crashes for transformation matrices which rotate and uniformly scale the selection.
