Version QCAD 3.26.4.7 / Windows x86_64
Existing drawing:
1. e.g. flange.dxf loads with no fills (solid hatch) for arrows,
2. New dimension are also without arrow fills.
3. This existing drawing has Text above line! Setting Drawing Preferences / Dim to "Horizontal text labels" will alter Text to be Horizontal BUT also open a gap for the text which is a separate setting (Text above dimension Line). Undo doesn't works on this properly - used multiple times will even change the dim color which wasn't changed in this operation.
New drawing:
1. Same test scenario - same issue.
2. Dim settings = Horizontal text Labels ticked, Text above dimension Line ticked produces a dim horizontal orientated with a gap instead to put the text above the line

Empty dimension arrows:
I cannot reproduce this. I suspect it has to do with a preference but cannot find out which. Could you attach your QCAD3.ini file? Thanks.
Horizontal text Labels ticked, Text above dimension Line ticked:
This is a conflicting (but allowed) combination of settings. In this case, the preference "Horizontal text Labels" takes precedence (in line with other CAD systems). This is not a bug. It could be improved on a user interface level though (adding a note or disabling "Text above dimension Line" in that case).
Never mind about QCAD3.ini. It's the text rendering as paths that causes this.
