Thanks for your report. Can you attach or e-mail the DXF file for testing? Thanks.

Thanks for the hint. This should be fixed now.

Thanks riverbuoy! This works great. I've added this tool to our repository for future QCAD releases. I've only made one small modification to add the two center lines in one transaction, so the tool can be undone in one single step: https://github.com/qcad/qcad/commit/eaf1d4759ca144117ae2e332139848d...

One cannot modify or create anything on a hidden layer. You should see a warning in the command line history that the transaction has failed.

I'd recommend looking into the official tar.gz for Linux and replicating its directory and file structure: http://qcad.org/en/qcad-downloads-trial QCAD is best installed to and run from one single directory containing the binary and all resources. That directory (call it 'application bundle' if you ...

Zum Undocken der Kommandozeile erst die Schaltfläche unten rechts klicken zum Anzeigen der Fensterleiste zum Verschieben / Undocken.

Note that "By Block" actually strictly speaking means "By Block Reference". Unfortunately, the term 'block' in the context of CAD can mean a 'block definition' or a 'block reference'. Block definitions do not have attributes. They are not on a layer either. Each block reference is on a layer and has...

Please report this bug to the person who did the FreeBSD port. Hatch patterns should reside in subdirectory 'patterns' of the QCAD installation directory.

If I select layer 1 and I hide it, when I group them, the new block disappear. This sounds correct. If 'layer 1' is the current layer and you create a new block with block reference, the new block reference will be put on the current layer ('layer 1'). If 'layer 1' is invisible, the newly created b...

Does it mean that the isometric projection in the right viewport was made from scratch, without using directly any data from the drawings on the right? No, it was made using the isometric projection tools provided by QCAD: http://www.qcad.org/doc/qcad/latest/reference/en/scripts/Projection/Isometri...

Thanks Clive!
I wish you and your family also a great holiday time and a blessed and exciting 2014

I'm assuming that you want to access the options tool bar at the top to enter for example the length and angle of a line that is created using the tool Draw > Line > Line from Angle The shortcut to access the options tool bar is: ^Space (that is Ctrl + Space ) This gives keyboard focus to the first ...
