[solved] Polyline - Trim Segments Command Broken

Post by PiperPilotJohn » Wed Feb 05, 2014 2:09 am

it appears that there's a bug in version 3.4.5 which causes the program to crash when executing the OT (Polyline - Trim Segments) command. I've tried it a number of times and it crashes every time.I either click on the icon to start the command or enter O T on the command line, then click on an existing polyline segment. After the first click the program freezes and shortly thereafter crashes. I can provide a crash report if that's useful.

Welcome John

I cannot reproduce this problem on my system, is this a drawing done with QCAD or an imported file from another program?

Are you able to submit an example file here on the forum for testing?
For the best support please state your operating system, QCAD version and add any supporting DXF/DWG files, screenshots etc...

Hi Clive. Yes, this is a QCAD-originated drawing. In fact, it's just non-sensical stuff I've been drawing while working through the manual, as you'll see when you load it up! :-) I marked one of the polylines that causes the program to crash. Hope this helps.

Hi John,
I tried what you said an got no crash, the polyline trimmed as expected, (win7/64), there must be some other cause...I used the trim icon though, not the keyboard command.

Well John, I get the same result as J-J...no problems.

Your using QCAD on an iMac I believe, may Andrew or someone else who is using Mac can test this - as on Windows I think its okay!

Yes, I'm am using the Mac version of the program on my iMac. Perhaps the problem is only with the Mac version?

Same with XP/32 - I tried Icon and Command - no crash!

Tried it with the icon - still crashes. Someone really needs to try this on the Mac version. Apparently the Windows version is working properly.

Thanks for the details. This is indeed a problem that only occurs with the Mac OS X package which still uses an older compiler (gcc 4.2.1). The problem has been fixed for the upcoming QCAD 3.4.6 release.

Just to let everyone know, including Andrew, that I recently updated to the newest release, 3.5.1, and the command now works properly. Thanks all!
