change font size in menus and widgets

I installed Arch Linux and as this is a barebone OS I had to find a way to configure the font size. Mine was too big. Setting the value for QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR only changes the size of borders and buttons. Changing font size in qt5ct didn't do anything for me. But setting the DPI value for Q...

Re: text tool issue

Well, I spent a lot of time testing this and now my only option left is to reinstall the OS. Too bad I can not pinpoint the issue.

edit: After reinstall the problem was gone.

Re: text tool issue

Thanks for checking. To be sure, by local font-height I mean the input box at top middle of the text tool window. Because in your screenshot is reversed from mine. :wink:

tweak property painter

I'm wondering if other users also like to see alpha added to the list of properties for hatches in the property painter.
I think the alpha property was added after the property painter feature in the line of development and it might be unexpected behaviour that is not copied over.

[solved] text tool issue

Hi, I have an issue with the text tool where switching font height sometimes makes qcad unresponsive for a few minutes. I described the issue in a the bugtracker. Such bugs are probably difficult to resolve and/or system dependent. Can someone reproduce this? See the steps in my last comment listed ...

I find no way in 'box-selecting' these entities with the mouse while holding the button ... ... one can not select the block at its reference point ... ... but one can simply select the block with a left click near the displayed entities ... I can boxselect and select by clicking on the entities. T...

Re: Set colors in blocks to "ByLayer"

Thank you very much for the script CVH! It is working. I'm running behind and having to find out this by myself would have taken me much longer. Best December gift yet. :D May I ask you what the reason is for this "white to black" exercise? I know it can't be a printing issue ... I'm working with a ...

Set colors in blocks to "ByLayer"

I have some dwg's from a window producer. Ofcourse there are a lot of white layers and white colors. So I'm used to changing all layer colors to black with the script 'make all white layers black'. Then I use the selection filter to find all entities with color white and change them in the property ...

Re: Performance with hatches and layout blocks

Well, I was using it at max 220. That's why I probably didn't see it.
I'm learning more and more about hatches. Your answers force me to understand it all. e_geek

Re: Performance with hatches and layout blocks

Without any lag :?: Yes, turn solid on - copy paste with no lag - turn solid off. :) Hatch Patterns are included in the dxf. Property 'From Entity' = True and usually at the bottom in the pattern list. These supersede the installed ones. Without the .pat file installed Qcad can not revert to it. Ah...

Re: Performance with hatches and layout blocks

A solution for selects, mods and moves but not for copy, paste, save, load ... Copy and paste works. Inside and between files. Save load indeed not. Ah, after some more testing: Apparently it doesn't work for all patterns. This simple one I use does not come back after toggle solid back and forth. ...
