Thanks to Ribbonsoft for creating such a great little CAD program (that works on My Mac)
This does %90 + of what I spent years doing in AutoCadd.

Again Thanks.

Viewport scale

Hi I Have been working with AutoCadd for 20+ years. I switched to QCADPro ver 3.27.1 so I can work on my MacBook Pro OS 11.6 I'm having trouble getting Viewports scaled to fit an 11" x 17" page.

The Alt key seems to do the same thing.
It is just seems a little bit clunky compared to being able to turn the function on and leaving it on for multiple operations.

Re: orthogonal

Hi Andrew I believe Andre may be looking for the same thing I am.
