Block Editing Issue

4 posts

This post was updated on Feb 19, 2019; 6:06pm.

Hi @all, I just startet a stream in Zulip chat about the following but found out later that this place here is perhaps more appropriate for asking..I appreciate to have librecad for my cad project..There is just one problem I have when I want to change a block: If I want to select an object within block editing mode, it more than often brings up the request "no entity found" - I tried with current version and the previous one (2.1.3)..Is this a known issue or do I missed some basic idea about block editing ? I attached a drawing of mine where this occurs for those who want to check the behaviour..Actually the behaviour should occure in any blocks of the sample drawing..e.g. if one tries to move a line its nearly impossible to select it. In the meantime I found out, that the behaviour is connected to the drawing file itself..when I start with a new file its not there..S_R.dxfcheers robert

Block Editing bug

4 posts

Hello dear Developer,

in order to clarify my problem I attached 2 files. In file named S_7.dxf it is very easy to edit the block named "Z_Quer_1" i.e. if one wants to lengthen some lines or so. However in file S_8.dxf which is a derivat from "S_7.dxf" the same operation is not possible anymore. I already compared both files and there are just a few differences between them but still have no clue where to find the reason..I have to admit that I tried to establish this topic some month earlier in user part of this forum but yield no answer, the same with zulip chat..I hope the problem is described precise enough this time - I would appreciate any help. Thanks robert

Hi Robert,

I can reproduce your issue with S_8.dxf.
But now the question is, how was S_8.dxf created?
Can you describe the modifications you applied on the way from S_7.dxf to S_8.dxf?

Hello Armin,

thank you for this message. Actually the original files are from first quarter of 2017. Therefore I have no clue what I did at this time. Maybe I worked with 2 different versions of librecad on these files but I guess not..
I just found that the problem in S_8.dxf seems to be connected two line 1176. If I change the value there from 0 to 1 (according to S_7.dxf) the behaviour gets normal again. But how this value is changed via librecad - I cannot imagine.

Best regards robert

Robert,

the value stored in line 1176 is the grid state.
I've checked this and indeed, when I open S_8.dxf, grid is off. Then I switch grid on (Ctrl + g) and editing the block works fine.
After toggle the grid off again editing the block still works.

I'll open an issue for this bug, many thanks for reporting.
