[sovled] Objects being moved to different layers and changing colour when moving

Post by lesthegringo » Wed Jan 25, 2023 10:42 am

Hi all, this has only been happening for the last day or so, but whenever I move, copy or modify any line or selection, it automatically sets it to the 0 layer and the 0 layer colour

I wanted to put in the bug list as per the initial instructions but there is nowhere to click for 'add new bug'

I have updated QCad (today) and it still happens with the latest version

Cheers

Les

When moving, be sure that the option "Use current layer and attributes" in the dialog is not checked.

The new entities are placed on the same layer as the originals and have the same attributes. To use the current layer and current attributes instead, tick "Use current layer and attributes".

Thanks, that is what I apparently had done - I must have checked it by mistake
