Circle placement puzzle
In the attached example, a circle with radius 5 should have its center on the arc, and be tangent to the line. Can this be done with snaps/restricts? In the example, I've simply used CR, snap on entity (the arc), and visually placed for tangent to the line. Other circle tools such as tangent-point-r...

Some layer issues.
1) Navigating through the layer list with cursor keys does not seem to select the layer that will be edited (by YE) it. Meaning, the layer that will be edited is the last one selected by mouse. Is that expected? 2) I thought I would be smart making a whole bunch of different sublayers in my main con...

Re: Arc joining question
Thanks for your replies! Matfie is right, termination at A is at any angle. And yep, I screwed up the specification -- I scaled things up 50 times to make an easier testcase. AN + AT seems to result in a perfect solution! Could this be done with polyline arcs as well, so that I can tweak the center ...

Arc joining question
I'm having some trouble joining two arcs of a specified diameter smoothly. For example, in the attached drawing, there's a requirement to continue the line from B upwards with a R25 arc, which smoothly joins to a R50 arc, which terminates at point A. In the top drawing, I did this with AT (arc, tang...

Re: Disappearing blocks.
3. The existing block "testblock" is overwritten (=replaced) by a new block, containing a single block reference that points to block "testblock", i.e. itself. The circle is gone at that point. If you are still in the same session, Edit > Undo will work of course. OK. I still think QCAD should reje...

Re: Disappearing blocks.
Thanks Husky. Still, it isn't very user-friendly to disappear blocks if they are recursive by accident (ie. user error). I tried to recover my circle as folows: - Select all, to select invisible block. Property editor shows Block Reference (1) - XP (nothing seems to happen) - Save file: Command: sav...

Re: Disappearing blocks.
Ah, I see how the recursion is a an issue.. I didn't realize I was selecting the block the second time, instead of the separate entities. What I meant to do it to recreate the block with a different center point. - Is there a way to retrieve my original block? - It would be better to warn the user a...

Disappearing blocks.
Hmm, I just files the same bug as #1565, but I can't find a trace of it. Did I not enter it correctly? So here it is again: Blocks (or their contents) disappear when overwritten. To reproduce: 1) Draw circle 2) Select circle, BC, select center, name 'testblock' 3) repeat 2; circle is now gone. See a...

No, nothing appears on the console at all when I activate AR, or press the blank/shaded square.andrew wrote:Do you get any warnings about files not being found in stderr?

[solved] Missing icons
When I compile from git on linux, with 'make release' or QT creator, several icons are missing. Mostly in the options toolbar, so far. For example, if I do AR, the direction icons are missing; there's just a shaded square and an invisible square. Any idea what could cause this? I think this happened...

Confirm text entry with keyboard
Hi Andrew, Just created a tiny pull request. I'm not sure what the best way is to communicate one-liner patches.. :) I was going to add one more thing, which is to interpret ctrl-enter in the TE textbox(es) as a dialog OK/close. The problem is that I don't know what the proper place to put that is. ...
