Re: Text Dialog Text Color

I just hopped onto a Mac running MacOS 11.2.3 and QCAD 3.26.2 and I'm seeing the same thing. I am NOT using the OS dark theme, either. The background of my text entry area is black, and black text also shows up black, so it disappears into the background. Also, the buttons in the CAD Toolbar have a...

Re: Text Dialog Text Color

So, I'm trying to edit black text against a black background. I'm confused about your text dialog background color. May I ask you WHY is it black? It's not supposed to be. If I change the text dialog background color to any other color then the text in the drawing appears in that color. It doesn't ...

Themes in MacOS are a problem as the 'break' the gui
I'm not using any "themes".

What OS are you running ?? is it Mac ??
Yes, this is on a Mac. Running the OS in dark mode. I hadn't had this problem until the latest update in QCAD.

Text Dialog Text Color

With the latest software update I've noticed that editing the text in the text dialog when "Simple Text" is unchecked turns to the color of the color selected in the "color" tool button. The text stays white when "Simple Text" is checked.) This makes sense to a certain extent, except that if I selec...

Re: 3.24.3 Low Resolution Printing

Andrew, That does, indeed, fix the problem. And I just noticed something in Edit / Application Preferences / Graphics View / Appearance: 3.24.2: Does not have a setting for Linetypes / Default Lineweight 3.24.3: This section of the dialog is now called "Linetypes and Lineweights" and has a setting f...

Re: 3.24.3 Low Resolution Printing

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the quick reply, as always. Sorry that I forgot to attach the DWG. Well, I'm not sure what you're seeing differently than what I'm seeing, but the resolution of the drawings, or at least the way in which QCAD is displaying the line weights, has changed between the two versions....

Re: 3.24.3 Low Resolution Printing

Husky, I checked the settings you mentioned below - the only difference was that "Auto switch..." was not checked, so I checked it. That helped a bit. With that said, there is still an obvious problem between the two versions. For example: 1) If I switch to Print Preview mode with the full drawing d...

3.24.3 Low Resolution Printing

I just updated to 3.24.3 (luckily I saved 3.24.2 since the problem doesn't appear there) and my print previews and actual printed output is very low resolution. I'm attaching two examples of the same drawing - one from 3.24.2 and one from 3.24.3. Is there, perhaps, some new setting in 3.24.3 that ne...

Re: Editing Text within an Inserted Block

Ok - I've got it figured out now. I was trying to modify an existing text element into an editable block attribute. Creating a new text element using Block/Attributes/Define Block Attribute made it editable after inserting it in the drawing. I guess watching the tutorial video for the 4th time final...

Re: Editing Text within an Inserted Block

In fact, yes, I watched it a couple of times thinking that this was the tutorial I needed. But it didn't solve my problem, unfortunately. I guess I should watch it again!

Editing Text within an Inserted Block

I have some old blocks that were created in AutoCAD many years ago. They insert perfectly. Many of these blocks have multiple text fields within them that are designed to be edited after being inserted into a drawing. The text in these old AutoCAD blocks, when inserted, can each be individually edit...

Re: Selection Bug

Andrew - ok, I think I found the bug then. I looked at the behavior you mentioned and noticed that it was unchecked. (I didn't ever recall checking it.) So I checked it. Same behavior as before. So I went back and unchecked it (putting it back to where it was). Guess what, now the behavior works the...
