[solved] Draw coordinate by command line not working

[emanuel]

Hello,

QCAD spec:

• version: 3.26.4

• platfom: macos 11.6BigSur NOT M1 chip

I'd like to draw triangle as described in manual 65 english version. When I am drawing by manual way I mean clicking to tools and write coordinates to boxes then click to green tick... Everythng works withou problem. When I want to replicate this proces by command line I am not able to draw that triangle.

How to reproduce my problem.
1) click to command line box to activate the writing commands
2) write "li" hit enter, you should activate line tools by command line
3) write "sx" hit enter you should activate tool to insert coordinates
4) command line ask me for first point, I put coordinates to command line "200,100" (format was check in settings and format should be right) hit enter
Now begin the problem
5) when I hit enter it draw the point but not the point which I've specified in command line but the point which was setup in options boxes (boxes above the draw next to green tick) sometimes ago. Strange is that command seems that received the point from CL because predefined text has changed from "First point" to "Next point"


Am I doing something wrong or it is a bug ?

Thanks for help.

The idea in the manual is to enter the coordinates in the options toolbar, that's the toolbar at the top, not in the command line which is at the bottom.

You can either work with the options toolbar (i.e. follow the e-book) or use the command line but not both at the same time as this leads to ambiguous values for QCAD to deal with.

With the command line the procedure is the same as in the manual but without entering "sx" (no special snap is required). Simply enter the coordinates in the command line when QCAD prompts for a position and hit Enter.

For help with the command line, please refer to the reference manual at:

Ah, Ok I am understanding my confusing. There is no logic to entre to special snap mode when I can the special mode make by syntax in command line.

My stupidity, thank you for solving.
