Unfortunate bug crash???:

New drawing
Insert bitmap (corrected from video:)
Select bitmap
Rotate bitmap
Select "Reset/Idle"
CRASH

Please see attached. Do you require original bitmap?
Should I create a bugtracker?

Best regards

Glad to help Graham. Hopefully you'll have fun in QCAD. This forum seems to be the best place to pose your questions and, if history repeats itself, you'll always get the best constructive help/answers. Happy QCAD'n (it's Friday - "NO G")

IF there is a flashing "|" and it moves to the right when you press space bar then you are already in the command line. I remember when I first started with CP/M... I did not immediately comprehend whether I was at command prompt or in the application... was confusing where the application focus was...

I am somewhat new to CAD and have extensive Mechanical Drawing experience. When making a CAD drawing, do you still put all three views on one page? Depending, I will do exactly that. When making rough diagrams for a building then yes, absolutely - perhaps even 4 views. What I am looking for is cons...

Thanks CVH. I'll have another peek at text formatting.

Hi Krischu. I had a quick look at the properties of the various Text entities. The magenta colour entities (on layer "Text") have a "Text" property same as "Plain text" property - all look fine whereas those that are prefixed with "\C7;" have a black colour and not the layer colour (I use white back...

Looks good John. Certainly has its uses.

Thanks jssham. Makes a lot more sense. Can you save the original (Autocad version) in DXF format? Looks sorta like an import issue? I'm sure Andrew will figure out - I was just trying to see where the differences were. I guess ACad might save DWG files using their proprietary format(s) and even then...

jssham - question:

exactly what?? do you expect to see? Can you show what the "correct" text/font looks like and what the "incorrect" text/font looks like?

Cheers

Solved: [ Hi and seasons greetings. I might have lost the plot. so to speak, but I seem to remember that sublayer visibility was based on parent layer visibility. When the parent layer was hidden so were the child layers (implicitly). Am I remembering wrong? It would make sense that a child layer wo...

I can understand Andrews point in viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6831

Whilst making forward progress on a small drawing, I came across a scenario that is similar to that attached.

Same layer each entity
Create open block
close block with line
hatch
fail

Bug or by design?
Cheers

Hi. Yes, absolutely a recursive block reference. (If you first explode block 1 then all works well). However, what I recorded just seems unusual (ie allowed the block 1 to be reused...?) The second issue is to see the multiple circles thrown across the screen. So, could possible be handled a little ...

Before I make a bug report, 1st) Thanks Andrew for 3.24. Always great to see QCAD being actively maintained. Thanks for addressing the block hatch issue. I am working with some blocks and I am probably doing it all wrong, but there seems to be yet another issue: please see attached. I highlight 2 pr...

Thank you both Mr H and Mr A.

My question is about hatch on a block. I create Block 1 as shown with reference as shown. I then create a hatch on that block. The hatch is placed with it's relative reference point at absolute 0,0. Is this correct? I had expected the block to be hatched. Oh, and Property Painter looks great. Thanks...
