QCAD 3.7.0 is now available. This release adds support for CAD standard .lin files to define custom linetypes. Some bugs in connection with hatches, isometric projections and dimensions have been fixed. A complete change log is available at: http://www.qcad.org/en/qcad-documentation/qcad-changelog U...

From the error above ("framework not found QtWebKit"), I can only guess that your Qt was built without WebKit support. You can pass -webkit to the configure script to force WebKit compilation or check under lib if QtWebKit.framework has been built (look for file QtWebKit.framework/Versions/4/QtWebKi...

Thanks. I briefly tried to reproduce this problem without any success so far.
Is there a specific procedure you can follow to reproduce the problem?
Also, how does the problem present itself? Do the drawing file names on the document tabs change?
Thanks again.

Das Problem ist, dass ich das hier nicht nachvollziehen kann. Da die Fehlermeldung "Unexpected end of file" nicht von QCAD, sondern vermutlich von Teigha stammt, werde ich versuchen für die nächste QCAD Release wieder Teigha 3 zu verwenden (wurde in QCAD 3.6.4 aktualisiert auf Teigha 4). Eventuell k...

Most likely, the DWG files that come out blank contain entities that are not supported by QCAD, such as 3DFACE, 3DSOLID, MESH, etc. Another possibility is that the drawings contain nothing in model space but all in a paper space. In that case, you'd have to change the current block in the block list...

From a QCAD user: I'm trying to find a way to open a 3D DWG from Autodesk Inventor. I've tried multiple exports in various formats, and all read "correctly" into QCAD: Format: R21 (2007) DWG Drawing (Teigha) (*.dwg) Format: R24 (2010) DWG Drawing (Teigha) (*.dwg) ...however the opened drawing is alw...

The next best thing then would be a new 'Multi Breakout Tool' any updates for this request: I'm afraid not. I'm busy these days mostly with custom software development for specific customers. However, some of this new functionality is also going into main stream QCAD. A hatch pattern creation tool ...

Not sure what went wrong. You can find detailed compilation instructions for both Qt and QCAD that are known to work under normal circumstances at:

Thanks for your report.

If you are using a MacBook with an internal track pad, this might be related to this known bug which has been fixed for the current 3.6.4 release:

Thanks for your report.

Please indicate the exact platform (operating system, distribution, version) you are using when reporting problems. Thanks.

It's not that easy, I'm afraid. Autocad PAT files have quite a unique format. In a nutshell, a hatch pattern is defined from straight lines with different kinds of dash patterns. So every line, at every angle has to repeat itself after some gap. Some kind of pattern editor or creator would be cool t...

Bitte kopieren Sie die Datei auf den Desktop Ihres Mac OS X Rechners (zum Beispiel mit Finder). Starten Sie QCAD. Öffnen Sie die Datei vom Desktop. Zum Speichern, schreiben Sie eine Datei mit neuem Namen ebenfalls auf Ihren Desktop. Mit diesem Vorgehen können Sie ausschliessen, dass es Probleme gibt...

Hm, for some reason, I can't file a bug report any more. "Database modification failed. Possible reason are insufficient permissions." Most likely, the tracker didn't like the content of your post because it contained URLs and gave the wrong error message. I've filed a brief report at: http://www.q...

Yes, QCAD has a -config command line switch which allows you to specify the location where configuration files are stored. Let's say QCAD is installed on a USB stick with drive letter "F" under a Windows system. You can start your QCAD for example like this: F:\QCAD\qcad.exe -config F:\config You co...

From a QCAD user:

Can I install and use QCAD on a portable medium such as a USB stick and run it on different computers without needing to install it or change the configuration of those computers?
