FS#2713: QCAD Forum > Some types of uploaded files can not be downloaded

CVH — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 04:05:40 +0000

Andrew,

See the latest posts in topic "Simulate 'User Coordinate System' using 'rotate' and 'move'"
By riverbuoy in the forum "qcad-script-add-on-plug-in-challenge".
Reported by user B110

The first link for the ZIP file is funcional (first post):
https://forum.qcad.org/uploads/short-url/xkxvvxptSRCU8yjTiwIMb2lVZDe.zip

The second link for the fixed JS script is not (third post):
https://forum.qcad.org/uploads/short-url/jRNfanXk9tW9FwGNWGl7goIQngF.js

The error we get is:
"The change you wanted was rejected.
Maybe you tried to change something you didn’t have access to."

This would make any posted JS script not accessible.
That may be true for downloading or even be related to uploading JS files and other types.

In this specific case I had a copy and could describe how to fix the original Ucs.js script.

Regards,
CVH

FS#2712: Text: question marks between asian glyphs if font does not support zero-width space

Masayuki Yoshida — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:19:43 +0000

Hello, I am a QCAD Professional user.
Since version 3.32.5, multi-byte characters (e.g., Japanese) become garbled when entering multi-line text (Rich Text).
This issue can be reproduced using QCAD's unicode line font. It worked perfectly in version 3.32.4.

Steps to reproduce:

Start the "Text" command.

Uncheck "Simple Text".

Select the standard line font unicode.

Enter multi-byte characters (e.g., 富士山).

Actual Result:

Unwanted question marks are inserted (e.g., ?富?士?山?).
Please see the attached screenshots comparing the correct behavior in v3.32.4 and the bug in v3.32.6.

Expected Result:

Characters should display correctly as 富士山 without question marks.

Environment:

QCAD Pro: 3.32.5 - 3.32.6

OS: Windows 11 64-bit

Performance when exporting a file with nested blocks to SVG is very poor.

1) open an new file "Unnamed"
2) open a 2nd file with one element (e.g. rectangle) and select rectangle
(use test1.dxf - attached)
3) go back to 1st tab with "Unnamed" file by click on the tab
4) close 2nd file by clicking "X" on the tab
==⇒ QCAD will close without further notice

FS#2706: File > SVG Export: Scaled viewports fail to inversely scale linetype patterns

Andrew — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 08:27:04 +0000

Linetype patterns (e.g., dashed or dotted lines) are tied to the viewport’s scale. When a viewport is zoomed in or out, the visual length of the dashes scales proportionally with the geometry.

Expected Behavior: Linetype patterns should scale inversely to the viewport scale. A dashed line should maintain its intended visual density (appearance) regardless of the viewport’s magnification level. This also matches the behavior of print preview / printing / PDF export.

Hi Andrew,

I receive multiple Error 524 time out reports by Cloudflare lately.

Sometimes the forum is inaccessible for minutes… or even hours.
