QCAD Bugtracker

With dxflib, QCAD cannot open any file with Chinese file name or path name, it popups a “Important Error” dialog.
But the writing (”Save As” command) with Chinese file name or path name is of no problem.
Does it mean dxflib can only handle single byte characters file name/path name?
WinXP, QCAD 3.8.0

At closed Polygons: Chamfer / Bevel / Round tools are not proper working at the Start/End corner transition.

Hi!

it occorred to me now several times, that I have been working on 2 or more files simultaneously when suddenly on some operations layers from one file showed up in the other file. nothing was pasted when it happened just many files open, or few files with many layers in them. (about 100 layers, but sometimes also only 10 layers)
Today I disabled a single layer in one dxf (A) which caused all layers of the other dxf (B) to show up in the layer list (and the layers that should show up were all gone).

I knew this already from 2 more occurances and tried the best to undo all my changes in (A) before “emergency saving” (A). I closed one of the two dxf files (A), leaving one open (B). Everthing seemed pretty normal again. Then pressing the “hide all layers” button just crashed qcad without any message. That crash on “hide all layers” happened twice today). I can’t reproduce the crash right now, but will add details here when I find something. As far as I remember the bug occured already in qcad 3.17, but I’m now on 3.18.1

thanks :)

I’m not able to import any dxf or dwg.

Edit: And it fails often to read the menu at all at the first time. A second try will display the information ...

Post all kind of layout issues for the book “CAD Instruction” here, e.g. overlapping text.

Autosnap does not recognize the center of a circle as a reference point.

After Update to RC5 there are NO icons displayed

Line tangent to ellipse with start point on the minor axis of the ellipse produces wrong result.

See:

Incorrect rendered faltering types of lines with the dwg2pdf tool.
Some of them: “DOT”, “DOT2”, “CENTER2”, “BORDER2”, “DASHDOT2”, “DIVIDE2”, “DASHED2” and others.
Lines are drawn by the “compressed”.
But when exporting through the menu “File” → “PDF Export”, lines are drawn as expected!
I attach two files as an example.

P.S.
Excuse me and “Google Translate” for my English :)

See fs731.dxf

May relate to 646.

Control Text is Displayed on Drawing created in ACAD.
The Text is representing /p as a new line when I think it should be ignored.
See QCAD PDF I am unsure what this represents in ACAD. /pxqc;

V3.0.0 Windows 7 64-bit

Initial situation:
A drawing with two visible layers: One for the outline and one for hidden lines.
A second empty drawing with the standard 0 layer.

The bug:
When copying the objects from the first drawing and pasting them to the current layer of the second drawing, both layers present in the first drawing are created and are empty. I suppose that’s not the way it was intended. I expected the selected objects being pasted to the current layer and NO extra layers being created.

- Draw ellipse
- Fill ellipse (solid or hatch)
- Rotate ellipse and filling
- Undo

→ Angle of ellipse shaped fill is not undone.

Other hatch boundary elements that break or cannot be undone:
- splines from fit points
- arcs (when only one point is moved, e.g. stretch)
- circles (when radius changes, e.g. scale, position changes)
- ellipses (when major point changes)

Version - 3.1, binary.

If I “Draw text” with text “aaaa bbbb” - it displays correctly, but when I enter “аааа бббб” (with russian keyboard) - I see that “аааа” and “бббб” are displayed one above other - see screenshot.

The same problem is for imported .dxf file with russian texts in it. Problem makes the solution as a whole actually inusable for (at least, some of) russian users.

Hello,

The attached patches are used to build QCAD on FreeBSD.

Notes:

- patch-shared_app.pri adds a dependency to libexecinfo. It is marked as fixed in  FS#876 , but still there.

It could be useful also for the other BSDs.

- patch-src_3rdparty_opennurbs_opennurbs_system.h remove malloc.h. It is marked as fixed in  FS#875 , but still there.

- patch-src_3rdparty_3rdparty.pro, patch-src_core_core.pro, patch-src_core_math_RSpline.h and patch-src_entity_entity.pro allow to use opennurbs as a dependency from the ports system, which is the recommended method, but you may ignore them in the general distribution sources if you prefer.

- patch-src_core_RSettings.cpp is specific to the ports system (”/usr/local/share/qcad” is not really hardcoded, and modified according to $PREFIX at build time): you may ignore it if you want.

Best regards,

If I “Trim Both” a pair of lines which already meet, then neither line changes appearance on screen (as expected). However, after saving and reloading the file, both lines are now missing.

To reproduce:

1. Create a new drawing
2. Draw a 10×10 square
3. Save the drawing
4. Close and reopen. The square shows up as expected.
5. Use the Trim Both tool on a pair of lines meeting at one of the corners. No change in the display.
6. Save the drawing
7. Close and reopen. The lines used in step 5. have disappeared.

If one or both of the lines changes length, either lengthened or shortened, then the changed line is preserved.

Build information:

Version: 3.4.2.0 (3.4.2)
Build Date: Oct 25 2013
Qt Version: 4.7.4
Compiler: MSVC++ 10.0 (2010)

Running on Windows 7 64-bit.

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

If you select (line) segments in a visible yet locked layer and choose “convert segments to polyline” (OG), the segments are deleted, but inserting the polyline fails.
So you can easily destroy locked layers by mistake which contradicts the idea of locking layers.

Hello,

I am stage manager and I have been using QCAD PRO nearly every day for 2 years now.
But since yesterday it seems that text is not saved within the file : when I reopen a saved file, text doesn’t show up. Do I miss a setting ?
I currently run Mac OS X Mavericks but there haven’t been any issues with this OS for months.

I deleted the app and prefs and tried out with 3.6.0 (which I don’t use because it often quits brutally), and also the free version of 3.6.4
But the issue still the same.

As I use this app for my work, it is very annoying not to be able to use text !
Thanks for your help

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

Create spline through point P.
Create zero length line at P.
Snap to P → crash.

Attributes are not fixed on their layer. When changing the content of an attribute the content is automatically placed on the active layer not on the attribute layer.
It would be much better if changing an attribute would not result in a change of the assigned layer.
For an example look also on www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=3870

When I try to make a tangential snap of an existing line to a circle by moving one line end to the circle, qcad snaps to a wrong snap point on the circle.

When “offset whole polyline” is selected and the mouse is moved over a rounded polyline, the preview is not working at least in Window 7/8.
This worked in older versions e.g. 3.6.3.

There is an example appended with an edged inner polyline and a rounded outer one. For the inner one, the offset preview is working as expected, for the rounded one it isn’t. Tested on two different PCs, one Win7 and the other one Win8.

Hello everybody,

I’m using QCAD 3.14.3 on Ubuntu Linux 64bit wit a two monitor enviroment.
When I place the option toolbar from the top of main window onto the second monitor, it’s impossible to input a distance. The cursor is missing.
Seems that the input-field is only working correct, when the option toolbar is connected to the main-window.

Hope I described the issue understandable, if not, please don’t hesitate to ask me for further descriptions...

Whould be nice to fix this bug...

Best regards

Andreas

Hello everybody,

I’m using QCAD 3.14.3 on Ubuntu Linux 64bit with a two monitor environment.
When I place the commandline-toolbar from the bottom of main window onto the second monitor, it’s impossible activate the commandline by pressing SPACE or CTRL+M. Only when I click into the commandline-toolbar with the mouse-cursor it’s been activated.

Hope I described the issue understandable, if not, please don’t hesitate to ask me for further descriptions...

Whould be nice to fix this bug...

Hello,

I’m unsing a two display environment and got all Tools and Widgets placed on the second display.
See qcad1.png

There are two problems:

1.) When I open another application on second display, three toolboxes stay on top, the others are behind new application.
See qcad2.png

2.) When I minimize Qcad only the mainwindow will be minimuzed, all the toolboxes and widgets stay on second display also with problem 1.
See qcad3.png

Whould be great, when this issues will be fixed

Thank you very much
Andreas

P.S.: Hope described well, if not, please drop me a reply...

With the attached DXF file, select Draw → Polyline → Create from Segments
(O, G) and click on the complex polyline inside the circle (eg on
the top left arc). Apolyline is created with a few segments,
and one or more segments are deleted!

Different segments are deleted depending on which segment is clicked.

Occurs when breaking out segment from closed polyline with more than two intersecting entities.

This also affects the hatch from segments tool when used with closed polylines.

Example:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qcad/qcad/master/scripts/Modify/BreakOut/Tests/data/closed_polyline.dxf

The characters in Portuguese such as “ç é â ... etc ...” are replaced by codes starting with version 3.16.x
Files created with versions of QCAD 3.15.x whose characters were correct in the Properties List when opened by QCAD 3.15.x appear in this strange way when opened in versions 3.16.x.
However, in the screen and in the extraction of the list of attributes the characters are correct.
Apparently the error only occurs in texts on the Block Properties List and Attributes.
However, you can use correctly the characters in a file created from version 3.16.x

Exemplo: “dormitory’ in portuguese is “dormitório” it’s appear like “DORMIT\U+00d3RIO” when file is opened on QCAD 3.16.x

Given is a drawing of two concentric arcs connected at the ends. (see attached drawing Circle_from_3_Tangents_1.png)

When I try to add a circle at one end by the “Circle from 3 Tangents”-tool, it does nothing.

I also tried it with another drawing (see attached drawing Circle_from_3_Tangents_2.png) - same negative result.

I then tried drawing Circle_from_3_Tangents_3.png. Here the tool only produces outside circles and misses the inside ones.

Hope you can confirm my findings.

by inserting and deleting many figures in the drawing the references to these figures are not excluded from the dxf / dwg file structure, if you exclude a figure and include it again, the reference is duplicated, etc .. this causes an increase of the size of the files dwg / dxf.

Latin characters do not work in version 3.16.5 on Linux, such as ã, õ, é, à, the curious thing is that “ç-” works. If on your machine the Latin characters that do not work are not appearing follow a bitmap for visualization.

Block attributes are not properly synchronized on QCad 3.16.5 after editing the block in the drawing, in Linux Mint 18.1 and in Windows 10; On Windows as less frequency, the error is intermittent, on Linux is constant. Attach the dxf to test.

DWG archive opened by QCAD (15.X/16.X - Linux mint 18.1 and Windows 10) does not show traits that represent project windows, when the same file is opened by the dwg True view they appear, follows archive for evaluation.

Deleted (undone) block attributes are stored to DXF/DWG.
