V. 4.0.0029 bugs!
I just installed version 4.0.0029 and immediately found the following bugs:PSLTSCALE does not work! Turning it on and setting LTSCALE to 1 should display linetypes at the proper scale in paperspace viewports - it does not.Backspace key does not work on the command line. If you mis-type something you have to enter it and receive an error message or press escape and start all over!The intersection snap button is missing from the entity snap toolbar.

If you know registry usage, could you export the intellicad settings to a file and send them to us?i can't reproduce the toolbar and commandline problem, but i suspect that you can clear it out with the customize dialog.Try reset for all 4 tabs (menus, toolbars, shortcuts, aliases ) . In principle the backspace button can be in use by a shortcut. and the missing button also suggests a problem with the stored toolbars.Reset uses hardcoded values to reinitialize the tooblars

I probably shouldn't say this, but I was testing the PSLTSCALE problem at Cadopia. Please see my thread. Bricscad doesn't seem to show ltscale upon opening thoughhttp://www.cadopia.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=001408running the following lisp will temporarily fix the display, but doesn't make it printable.; flts.lsp : temporarily corrects ltscale display after changing or toggling tilemode(defun c:flts (/ x y)(setq x 2); the first vport in pspace(setq y 5); total numer of viewports(command "mspace")(while (<= x y)(command "cvport" x)(command "zoom" "e")(command "zoom" "p")(setq x (+ 1 x)))(command "pspace")(princ))

Intersection snap is also missing from the menu as well. Infact, you can't customize it in there. If you create a new menu item next to let's say point snap and set the command to int, it will work. However as soon as you change the command to _intersection, the whole menu item disappears. If you change the command of any other entity snap in the menu, let's use center and change it's command to _intersection, that menu item also disappears.I exported my menus and snap toolbar. Oddly enough, the stuff needed for intersection is there, but the button is not on the toolbar. Is the icon missing? These were the defaults, reset doesn't fix anything. Install was from 4.0.0029/installset.exehttp://members.garbersoft.net/bb2235/toolbar.zip

I reset the menus, including the tool bars and aliases, and it DID fix the problem with the backspace key - but that is all. I even re-installed (repaired) the program, but PSLTSACLE still does not work and there is no INTERSECTION snap button on the toolbar or in the customize dialog box. PSLTSCALE is the more important problem for us. For now, we will have to continue to use version 3.3.0024 until this bug is fixed.

I do not have the backspace problem. The PSLTSACLE-problem is to high-level for me I am afraid, so I do not know if I do have that problem. But I do not have an INTERSECTION snap button either. It is missing even in a home made toolbar that sets the snap for just one picking. You do not have to go back to version 3 when you are not satisfied with version 4.0.0029 if you use the following trick : before installing ..29, I change the name of the "IntelliCad" subdirectory in "IntelliCad400029", and in the "Shortcut" tab of the "properties" of the startup icon of IntelliCad, I make the same change in the "target" and in the "start in" fields. This way, after installing ..29, I have 2 startup icons : one for ..26 and one for ..29, wich both do work, each one for the correspondig version. Once I am sure the new version is ok for me, I can erase the icon and the subdirectory of the old version. If you want to use this trick right now, you will have to uninstall I am afraid, because IntelliCad refuses to install an older version over a newer one. You will have to download the old install.exe file from the ftp site of BricsCad.

I am running v.0029 on win XP and do not have the toolbar problem with the int. snap. This version seems to be pretty good.

O.K., I'd like to hear from someone at Bricscad about the PSLTSCALE problem. I'm not too concerned about the intersection snap toolbar button - I can create one of my own. But I REALLY need to have PSLTSCALE working in order for us to plot our drawings correctly. Can someone from Bricscad respond to this? Is this feature not working or is it just not working for me?

We're working on two related problems here, with priority. The main issue is psltscale support is broken in paperspace. A second issue is an updating problem in modelspace, tilemode off. Sometimes you see the scale right, sometimes not. Eg, if you come from paperspace, psltscale is ignored, even after regen. but if you do zoom extents, you see that psltscale is active again.So it appears there will be another update soon.Sorry about the inconvenienceregards, sander, bricscad

I can reproduce occasional mixed up toolbars, with duplicate icons. It's caused by parallel usage of icad 3 and 4. They share the same part of the registry, and some buttons are recognized as different buttons while they are in fact identical. The problem disappears if i reset the toolbars. Users report that it does not always disappear and that they need manual editing. Resetting the toolbars is not identical to starting again from machine settings, from scratch . I think that is another bug. We'll fix it, after we deal with psltscaleregards, sander, bricscad
