Hi riverbuoy,

thanks for looking into this too.

After you mentioned the CE version I compared it by myself to see how it behaves on my system. Yep - looks like it happens only in Pro.
Thank you for helping us to encircled the issue.

Hi Husky,
I also posted on that unpredictable behavior in the past year, glad I'm not the only one noticing it.
Somehow I missed your post from last year. Now I know there was no need to open a new Post .... :wink:

I quite like that little tool and it bothers me when it stops working!
Yep - I second that to 100%

Hi Husky and J-J,

After looking into this I think I have found a solution. I looked into the shop and saw a message saying that they are currently on holiday until the 16th of August, so I thought I would post this temporarily. This fix works with Husky's example of two circles and a rectangle, but I don't know if it works in all situations that might cause this to fail. This would be a good opportunity to test it.
To test this you need to extract the files in the attached file ('Cross.zip'), into a directory called '/scripts/Misc/MiscDraw/Cross'. You will notice that under the 'scripts' directory there is currently only the 'Misc' directory, so in 'Misc' you need to create the 'MiscDraw' directory, and under that create the 'Cross' directory. In directory 'Cross', extract the files from the attached file 'Cross.zip'. These files override the files in the 'libqcadscripts' plugin. Hopefully 'Centreline Cross' should now work correctly.

Perhaps you could let me know how you get on. Thanks.

Regards

riverbuoy

Hi riverbuoy - thank you very much to looking into this!

I installed your patch and tested it within my example case. Till now it works flawless - very NICE! I'll see what happens with different scenarios and if I recognize a problem I'll post it here.

Have a nice weekend!
