First of all: What is now the difference between Offset (OQ) and Offset with distance (Of)? Nothing. Draw > Polyline > Offset is still there for backwards compatibility. If removed, users will be upset (where is that tool gone, functionality has been removed, etc). My feeling is that I should have ...

TheEnglishPatient: QCAD 3.9.0 makes this behaviour configurable under Edit > Application Preferences > Graphics View > Appearance > Display and Performance

srl: I've split your question into a new thread, as your problem seems to be unrelated to this:

Ja, dazu besteht der Attributwert "Von Block" ("ByBlock"). - Block zum Editieren öffnen. - Alle Elemente selektieren, welche das Farbattribut (oder ein anderes Attribut) vom Layer der Blockreferenz erhalten sollen. - Eigenschaften Editor anzeigen: Ansicht > Eigenschaften Editor - Eigenschaft "Farbe ...

Von einem QCAD Benutzer:

Können Elemente in Blöcken die Farbe des Layers annehmen, auf dem der Block eingefügt wurde?

Can you check if you are getting any kind of warning or error printed to the terminal when saving a file? You can launch QCAD in a terminal as follows:

TrueType fonts must be installed system wide to be used with QCAD (or any other application).

CAD Zeichnungen werden fast immer in Echtgrösse (1:1) erstellt. Wenn eine Zeichnung einen Rahmen hat, wird dieser skaliert (und nicht etwa die Zeichnung). Wenn zum Beispiel eine Zeichnung ausgedruckt werden soll im Massstab 1:5 (Faktor 0.2 oder fünf mal kleiner als Echtgrösse), wird der Rahmen mit F...

QCAD 3.9.0 comes with a display option to use anti-aliasing which might improve the experience for some users:

Let me ask about your motivation for doing this first since QCAD 3 comes with full support for TrueType fonts built in. Thanks.

QCAD 3.9.0 has been released today with as highlights: - A new, more powerful offset tool to generate offsets to polylines - Optional anti-aliasing for graphics display A complete change log is available at: http://www.qcad.org/en/qcad-documentation/qcad-changelog Update instructions for QCAD Pro or...

QCAD stores custom properties in the format key:value (as string). Other applications store custom properties differently. For this reason, the DXF exporter must know if a custom property is a QCAD supported property or a custom property from another application in an unknown / unsupported format. T...

First, I'd contact the machine shop to learn if they optimize your drawing before laser cutting. If they do, there's no need to do any optimization on your end. To optimize a DXF file for shortest path, you can proceed as follows: - Load your drawing - CAM > CAM Export... - Choose the 'GCode' config...

Most likely what is happening is that a key code is entered that does not exist. Let's say you've just pressed the 'Y' key with the intention to add a layer (YA). Now you change your mind and want to draw a line instead. You enter L and then I. QCAD now looks for a keycode 'YL' or 'YLI', both not ex...

Thanks. What font do you use for these texts? Can you try a different font (e.g. 'standard')?
