just started using the system.  work very well, but an encountering two problems....

I can only get 3 lines on mult line text, and the ellipse function inscribed in four lines does not always work for me in that i can specify 3 lines, but the system does not allow me to click on a forth line.

Hi, I cannot reproduce these problems.




Are you using the latest version of LibreCAD?

What operating system are you using?

Can you attach a sample file here on the forum for testing?

this is one algorithm issue.

For a parallelograms, there are infinite number of possibilities for inscribed ellipses, and the current algorithm only handles when there's an unique inscribed ellipse for 4 given lines.

thanks for the input.
one thing that I noticed is that when I make the parallelagram as a string (that is construct it by drawing lines via two points and getting all four sides completed with 5 clicks), it seems to work better.

Any help on the multi line text?

it looks like it does.

For me, i just get an outline box instead of letters.

the box seems to be of a size that would contain all of the lines and letters, so it changes with the number of lines of text and the length of the text line, but all I get is the simple white lined box until i delete some lines or characters from the lines.

Any idea??

thanks for your help so far!

this is what i got for the four lines of text that i tried to put on the drawing, versus what you show.
