Re: Image Quality in DWG to BMP Conversion

@CVH: edwardsjethro was an bogus AI reply. They were probably planning to add spam to the post later.

Re: Changing Viewport Scale

I'm doing one page per Layout Block, is that normal? Yes. My main question is whether there's any way to change the scale of a viewport after I've created it. After I draw the viewport but before I select the location on the layout I can change the scale and some other options- is there any way to ...

Re: Identifying Open Contours in .DXF and .SVG Files with QCAD/CAM Before Nesting

Normally, for these types of drawing, I'd recommend to work with polylines to ensure that all contours are closed. However, your drawings have overlaps which makes this difficult: overlap.png These overlaps are so consistent, that I suspect that this might be intended / required. Can you confirm thi...

Re: reversing polylines

Yes, reverse is the method you are looking for. Perhaps, you can provide a bit of context (code), so we can help efficiently. You also might want to have a look at this code of the Modify > Reverse tool of QCAD which also works for polylines: https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/scripts/Modify/R...

Re: Library images and 0 layer

Why Attributes are not created on the current active layer eludes me. Let's say you have a block with three different attribute definitions: - Name (on layer "Names") - Voltage (on layer "Voltages") - Number (on layer "Numbers") You probably wouldn't want these all to end up on a single layer when ...

Re: Scale Command: Is There A Problem?

And nothing happens. But it asks for a Focus Point over and over. Selecting a point does nothing and the program gets stuck there. I have to Save the file and Close it to regain control. I can reproduce this problem if the scale factor that is entered is invalid (e.g. "dummy" instead of a valid num...

Re: Line tool option box does not open

Thanks. The options toolbar is also visible here at the bottom (see red rectangle). As soon as you start the line tool it should expand in size and show you the line tool options. If that is not the case, please include a screenshot while the line tool is active.

Re: Line tool option box does not open

This called the "options toolbar", a special and really important toolbar that shows the options for the current tool. I guess it's also there on your other system but probably too small to show any options. A screenshot of your other system where things are not working as expected would be most hel...
