Okay, I see what I need to do to display the z-coordinates. I need to check the "display z-coordinates" box. Now I can see the z=0.035 value for left line. Thanks for your help!

Re: dragging left/down doesn't select an object
The reason is simple, the leftmost line entity is drawn on a plane where Z=0.035 units (Here mm but probably converted). Ah! I forgot to flatten the DXF. Thanks for your help! To display Z coordinates in the Property Editor see: menu Edit .. Application Preferences .. Widgets .. Property Editor My ...

dragging left/down doesn't select an object
I’ve run into a problem that I haven’t seen before. I’ve attached a DXF and created a YouTube video for illustration purposes. In the attached DXF are two lines. The line on the right can be selected by dragging a rectangle to the left and downward (the rectangle has a blue/purple coloring) . If thi...

Re: What type of object is a Circle?
It should not make any difference at all ... Well, apparently, this makes a difference when importing into another CAD program. My question for you is this: I see a bulge factor of 1 for both of the circles in the DXF that I posted. You mentioned that one of the circles has a bulge fact of somethin...

Re: What type of object is a Circle?
The reason why I ask is that they do not import the same (I'm importing into a completely different CAD program). Curious on how they are handled differently ... It should not be different at all ... :wink: Could you share a screen caption of the file with polylines in that application? Regards, CV...

Re: What type of object is a Circle?
How do I convert the left to be the similar to the right (change it from 0°, R0.6 to 180°, R0.6)?
Also, the Properties panel isn't showing this information - where can I find it?

Re: What type of object is a Circle?
I've attached a DXF file with two polyline "circles." Aside from differences in radius and physical xy locations - what are the differences between these two objects? The reason why I ask is that they do not import the same (I'm importing into a completely different CAD program). I'd like to get a b...

Re: What type of object is a Circle?
After a circle has been exploded - how to you turn the objects back to being a circle?
Is the circle object from QCAD identical to what AutoCAD generates?

Re: What type of object is a Circle?
Is the circle a type of block? What probably happened is that you made a polyline of the circle and exploded that. As I indicated in my first post using the "circle2p" command and exploded that - twice - resulting in two arcs. The same is true using the CI keyboard shortcuts - the resultant circle ...

What type of object is a Circle?
When I explode a circle a couple of times - I see that the circle is made from two arcs. I drew the circle using the "circle2p" command - draw a circle with two points.
Is the circle a type of block?
Thanks for any information.
I'm using QCAD version 3.24.3.0 on a Windows 11 Pro machine.

[solved] Very Strange Behavior - Corrupt DXF?
Got a strange problem with a DXF that originally came from a step file exported from Solidworks. The step file was then opened in FreeCAD; a DXF was exported from FreeCAD and opened in QCAD. When I opened the DXF in QCAD the drawing exhibited very odd and unstable behavior. So, I decided to create a...

Re: How Can I Load This Script into QCAD?
I'm not so confident I'd provide the correct answers. At the moment I have a need to create a script that takes in raw numbers and draws a specific structure. For this, and for the moment, it looks as if what I'll mostly need/use is the addLine() command. Those will sit in the js file along with var...

Re: How Can I Load This Script into QCAD?
How to load and run the example script file. Copy the code from https://qcad.org/en/tutorial-running-sc ... rom-a-file and save as a javascript file (*.js extension)
then from the QCAD menu Misc > Development > Run Script.
