Kubuntu 14.04, every QCAD version after 3.12.4
Hello, when I start any command like Line or Stretch and press space to shift focus to command line, I should be able to input a simple number value to define next point, but the program won't let me. But in version 3.12.4 I do that all the time. Am I not getting something, or is it a bug? Please help...
Here's what error messages it outputs:
"Command: restricthorizontal
Unknown command or invalid coordinate or value: '55'
Command: restricthorizontal
Numbers may be entered as: '3.142'
Command: restricthorizontal
Coordinates may be entered as: '1.234,1.234' (absolute) or '@1.234,1.234' (relative) or '10<278.873' (polar) or '@10<278.873' (relative polar)
Command: restricthorizontal
You may change the number / coordinate format in the application preferences."
Or:
"Command: line
Unknown command or invalid coordinate or value: '55'
Numbers may be entered as: '3.142'
Coordinates may be entered as: '1.234,1.234' (absolute) or '@1.234,1.234' (relative) or '10<278.873' (polar) or '@10<278.873' (relative polar)

Re: Command line doesn't accept number input
Hi Bojan,
However, playing with the line command, I discovered that if you leave the first number in the command line, and then move the mouse, and then press enter a second time, the number is now accepted, and all further numbers accepted for each line segment drawn.
Hopefully, Andrew might be able to fix this, but for now use this workaround.

This is clearly a bug, either introduced in version 3.12.5 or 3.12.6. I went from 3.12.4 directly to 3.12.6, so I am not sure which version introduced the bug. I don't know what the problem is.Bojan wrote:Hello, when I start any command like Line or Stretch and press space to shift focus to command line, I should be able to input a simple number value to define next point, but the program won't let me.

Re: Command line doesn't accept number input
Thank you very much for looking into this, it is a really big bug then :/. There are some very nice improvements since 3.12.4, I would like to upgrade as soon as this is fixed. Will try this workaround today.
