Hello All,
My installation is: Free, Version=3.9.4 (dxflib 3.7.5.0)
My OS is Windows 7, I'm unsure whether qcad is using 64bit or 32bit mode (how to determine??)
(self discovery: local process monitor reports qcad as 32-bit process.
machine is 64-bit capable, is qcad?
If so, how to operate in 64-bit? )
From another CAD program, I export a dxf that contains polylines of various widths.
When I either "import" or "open" that file in QCAD, all the Plines are one pixel wide.
How can I retain the Plinewidths of the source file?
Integrity of data that appears when qcad opens a file seems to vary depending on
the version of dxf the file was. Does qcad prefer certain versions of dxf?
If so, which versions?
Thanks,
-Gerry

Hi, please attach a file for testing.
Re: How to retain polyline widths when importing or opening
Here is a dxf for testing, and a picture of what it should look like.
Thanks,

Re: How to retain polyline widths when importing or opening
After testing I get the same result in QCAD pro, in AutoCAD this opens up just fine.
@Andrew, could you have a look at this, seems like a bug to me?

Re: How to retain polyline widths when importing or opening
I can confirm that start and end widths of polyline segments are not supported at this point and are simply being ignored by QCAD.

@Clive and Andrew,
To confirm your analysis:
Neither community edition nor professional will retain widths of polylines when opening a .dxf ?
Will professional retain them when opening a .dwg ??
Thanks,

Re: How to retain polyline widths when importing or opening
No, DWG and DXF support are identical in QCAD Professional. I've had a brief look into polyline segment widths and it would certainly be possible to implement support for this. Unfortunately, I'm swamped with work as it is at the moment as usual..pads2u wrote:Will professional retain them when opening a .dwg ??
