In Place Block Edit Fading Issue

Post by zilmosantos » Fri Aug 13, 2021 10:00 am

As posted in bug tracker (https://qcad.org/bugtracker/index.php?d ... sk_id=2267) i would like to know if this happens only to me.

I noticed a bug while editing blocks in place. When I opt to edit in place, most of the surrounding blocks fade out properly, but some don’t. Although I can’t edit them, as they are not faded, It can be tricky to identify what is in the current block or not while editing a bigger assembly.

Another suggestion is to add a keyboard shortcut command to the “save and close”.

Otherwise, this is a fantastic feature that really enabled me to buy the QCAD and start using it professionally. In place editings are a key feature for my projects and drawings.

Thanks in advance.

IMG 1 shows my drawing

IMG 2 shows a block being edited “not in place”

IMG 3 shows a surrouding block being edited “not it place”

IMG 4 and 5 shows the in place edit of the block shown in IMG 2 and the surrouding blocks not being properly faded.

WINDOWS 10 + QCAD 3.26.4
