I'm sorry. Sometimes it helps to look more precisely... e_ugeek The icon background in the Tool Matrix depends on the existence of a selection. Needs a tool a selection and there are no entities selected the icon background gets darker black. That makes absolutely sense and I have to withdraw my fir...

Dark again, but this time the Dark Theme in QCAD. :mrgreen: I use QCAD 3.21.3 with macOS Mojave. When I switch into the Dark Theme in QCAD (via application preferences) my tools in the Tool Matrix look a bit strange. The background of some Icons is darker than the other ones (see attached screenshot...

... That is very likely not what a user would expect. However, if you do want that behaviour, you can simply explode and then change the layer of the selection in the property editor.

That’s right. Nothing else to add.

The attached drawing contains 2 layers. Layer 0 and layer 1. The inserted block was created on layer 0 with the attributes: Color: By Layer Lineweight: By Layer Linetype: By Layer and inserted via the library browser on layer 1. After exploding the block all entities are on layer 0. That is IMHO not...

Hooray, I found a solution... The problem is in macOS Mojave not in QCAD !!! Maybe it helps some other Mac Users: 1. open the program TERMINAL 2. type in the following command: defaults delete -g NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance 3. restart your Mac Now QCAD looks in Dark Mode like it has to look. Than...

By the way: the starting dialog looks like this

Very strange indeed.
I'm using the QCAD release named qcad-3.21.3-pro-osx-10.10-10.13.dmg
Is there any newer release?

Thomas

On my iMac the main window looks the same like yours.
But look at the layer-, block- or the other lists.
UNSELECTED text is white on white.

Thomas

I updated my macOS to 10.14 Mojave.
QCAD is still running well in "Light Mode".

But when I switch into the new "Dark Mode" text of the QCAD-UI is unreadable (i.e. white Text on white background).
Are there any plans to adapt QCAD to the Dark Mode of macOS Mojave?

Thomas

I guess what you are asking for is a different tool / option to "prioritise" a layer. E.g. if there are multiple entities and one of them is on my prioritised layer, keep the one on the prioritised layer. As you can imagine this would lead to an even more complex tool, with an output that is even h...

... there is no such thing as an original when it comes to duplicates. Having an original would imply that one of the lines is somehow linked to the others or marked as being more important than the others. This is not the case. All lines are created equal :wink: This is not completely true. QCAD s...

@Husky I can understand why you said in another thread you cannot understand the logic behind the tool "Detect Duplicates". Neither do I. Example: In a drawing with 6 identical lines one 3 different layers you have 1 original and 5 duplicates. If you use the tool "Detect Duplicates" 5 duplicates are...

Indeed, in QCAD 3.21.2 the button is gone. At this point only Andrew can help us. By the way, I downgraded back to 3.21.1 because of the missing sorting in the layer pulldown menu. As we see there are also other reasons to go back. regards Thomas PS: the button is still there. Only the toolbar icon ...

Hi Husky, in my installation (3.21.1 on macOS) the tool menu looks like this: Werkzeug Doppelte Linien.jpeg As you can see there is an additional manual refresh button left to "Auto". And it works like I said before when changing the options "Layer ignorieren" or "Richtung ignorieren". You can try i...

When you change the option "Ignore Layer" and/or "Ignore Direction" the selection is automatically refreshed.
Otherwise you've to refresh manually.

regards Thomas
