BUG?: Exporting to DXF - a "List of Folios" crashes QET (Page 1 of 2)

Hello
My system xubuntu 16.04 and QElectroTech V 0.51-dev + svn4842. Have just tested tried to export a project completely in DXF had no crash. But I can not open the second page with the table of contents with librecad the other pages already

Best regards

Why you would like export project to DXF, use with autocad or other?

Yes, current scenario : I created a set of dwgs in QET - happy with the results, but now I have to pass dwgs to someone who will incorporate them into a larger set of AutoCAD dwgs - and AutoCAD is the only thing they use.

Generally speaking I think delivering documentation in DXF will be very important to anyone who might have to provide documentation to a customers in a recognised format that will work with their SW tools - typically some AutoCAD compatible format. 

You cannot argue with the customer that they can get QET as a free download. This is irrelevant because for them it is all about their workflow base on AutoCAD.

So for those who use QET only for internal documentation or pdf publications, there may be no issue.

For others, having DXF as an available export format is very important - unfortunately.

Hello Patrick
The project has 10 pages. When opening with librecad comes no error message but it tries to open it. Have also tried it with Bricscad and QCad. Only QCad could open the table of contents. Which program do you use to open the DXF files.

I  confirm, exporting a "list of folio" page to DXF crash QET.
ASSERT failure in QList<T>::operator[]: "index out of range", file /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtCore/qlist.h, line 545

Our beloved leader has found something.

Now it's a question of where on the scale of difficulty the issue sits...

|--------------------|--------------------|
0                        5                       10
"Oops"            "Hmmm!"              "How the F#%! are we going to fix this?!*

Note: this scale may be logarithmic.

Knowing QET can export to DXF (even if you have to do some touch up for the moment) removes what could have been a major roadblock to using QET for many people.

Well done, Scorpio.

Hi Scorpio,

Initially exporting my project still crashed QET, but deleting Sheet 2 and adding new Folio Summary back into project fixed the problem.
Now all sheets exported without crash.

Thanks Scorpio.

SUGGESTION:  Would it be a good idea to add the %idx (or folio label) as a prefix to exported file names?

PS. How do you "enable folio label"?

FYI, filename is a QLineEdit : you can modify name file before exporting.

Ok, added diagram position prefix in rev4870, fix unable naming files with the same names in the same time.

What your QET version?
[s]Have you tried with  black conductors?[/s]

Edit : color isn't the problem.

I tried it. No difference.

You could send this folio project, here?

I saw no problem here with arduino example :
