I seem to have an issue with the Draw Order on items inserted from a library:
When I insert the library item into a new drawing it looks like this:
Black lines are now 'on top' - in fact the whole draw order seems to have been messed with (at least when you examine the elements by exploding the bloc). I've tried any combination of send back/front to no avail. Any suggestions? (BTW I am on QCAD 3.0.9)
There are four layers: Annotation, Schematic, Signals, and Track (Blue). Note that 'underneath' = lower drawing order of the blue there are equivalent lines in black of layer 'Schematic'. Problem with Draw Order on Library Items

Re: Problem with Draw Order on Library Items
Thanks for the report.
Could you attach or mail the DXF or DWG file of the library item?
Thanks.

Re: Problem with Draw Order on Library Items
Attached the library file. Just another observation that may help: I have about 20 similar beasts and if I put them successively together into a new drawing the effect seems to get worse the further I go along: While on the first few ones I could explode the block, reorder with bring to front/back, and re-save as library item (which after deleting the old block I could then reinsert newly and correctly from the updated library) this seems to be no longer working if I have many of them. (hope you understand what I mean)

Re: Problem with Draw Order on Library Items
Thanks. I cannot reproduce this problem with the latest QCAD version (3.7.5).
Can you try the latest QCAD (trial) version, to verify?

Re: Problem with Draw Order on Library Items
Andrew, Just checked on 3.7.5.0 and problem seem no longer to exist. I wonder if this was not also maybe something with working on two monitors with different resolutions and hit-testing etc. In any case, so far so good. Thanks.
