Missing linetypes

Post by kchodl » Fri Jan 23, 2015 7:46 am

I have QCAD installed on fresh Archlinux box.
There are no other types of lines in the menu, only By Layer, By Block or Continuous. There is no Dash Dot etc.

Which version of QCAD are you using?
Did you install and run a package downloaded from qcad.org or a package that came with your distribution or was downloaded elsewhere?
Thanks.

Please install and use the package you can download from our web site instead if you have purchased QCAD Professional:
http://www.qcad.org/en/customer-area

If you are using the QCAD Community Edition:
http://www.qcad.org/en/qcad-downloads-trial (note the information about the QCAD Community Edition at the top of the download page)

These 3rd party repositories from Linux distributions only provide you with the free QCAD Community Edition.

In this particular case, there is also something wrong with the package provided by the archlinux folks. You might also want to report this problem to them, so they can fix it (they are likely not including the linetype definitions or installing them in the wrong location, so QCAD cannot find them).
