Qcad Pro: trim/extend/chamfer not working

Post by Giuliano69 » Mon Nov 23, 2020 4:48 pm

Found a situation where two simple lines, cannot extended to merge, no matter which tools you try to use

I did a cut and paste of the two lines, and created a new file... same situation... in the attachment
IF you try to fillet (eg r=50), you will see that the circle is drawn in the "opposite" way.... and the center of the circle is in the wrong place...

If you try to chamfer, it seems that the tool is getting the wrong side of the second line...

Maybe something in the definition of the edges to be worked on is not working properly.

Am I missing something or there is a bug present ?

Hi,
These entities have a non-Zero Z value.

Try Menu .. Misc .. Modify .. Flatten

Thanks... it works !
BTW .. in the property windows I can only find x and y coordinates...

HOW did you realize that they had a Z coordinate, and it was not zero ?

PS
Being Qcad a 2D program, shouldn't Qcad notify that the objects been tooled are NOT in place ?

Menu .. App Prefs .. Widgets .. Property Editor .. Display Z

Your PS:
No, QCAD = 2D, the user should know what he is doing.
