Is that a 100% Qcad drawing?
Does that happen with a new drawing too?
Which instalation Paket (full file name) was used?
"Save" was used below Menu / File?
What is the exact drawing file name?

Hi, that is an unusual behavior and has nothing to do with trial or pro. To be on the save side please reset Qcad to the default settings: https://qcad.org/en/tutorial-resetting-the-qcad-configuration Then load and save the drawing again and tell us what happens. Btw - the drawing is not created by ...

Hi, in command line: try esc, escape or qq, should also work in an active modelspace / GUI, Btw - mouse would be the right mouse button, Keyboard the ESC or qq key ...

Hi,
I'm out of town why I can't check your dxf. Nevertheless knowing where the dxf came from I assume it has still 3D ballast. Try below Menu . Misc .. Modify .. Flatten Drawing to 2D and test the behaviour again.

I want the CNC cut panels to line up in a straight line.

Means what exactly? Metal? Wood? Styrofoam? Stripes welded / clued together for each of the 8 sites? What is the thickness of the material? Final shape? A real curve or a semi "curve" built out of straight segments?

Muss das so sein? Oder kann man da was ändern? Ja und ja. Offentsichtlich wurde das so von MS aus performance Gründen als default eingeplant. MS selber und auch Drittanbieter bieten aber Ergänzung Programme an die dxf/dwg Vorschau möglich machen. Wie gesagt - es wird zu Lasten der Performance gehen...

Also, my only connection is via a phone, so I try to avoid big downloads.

I don't know where you life (and I don't need to know that!) but maybe it makes sense to use a public wifi hotspot at a coffee shop, restaurant, or public library. It's free and faster than a phone hotspot ...

Qcad Community Edition is free and offers also the circle tool "tangential to three entities".

I tried using the circle three tangents tool, but I end up with two large circles outside the pitch line, or it failing to solve. Surely there is a method to create the included circle inside a triangle? Am I not using the correct tool? If the tool was this one ... https://qcad.org/doc/qcad/latest/...

Anyways, I just wanted to know if that is possible

With the Tool Matrix? Not to my knowledge.
Question: If it is so important to you to keep the mouse pointer position as is - why not just navigate the Qcad standard menu with the keyboard?

Hi,
The purpose of the toolmatrix is to launch with the mouse pointer tools immididly - not to help you remembering and then using shortcuts.

I assume a shortcut list like this pdf will help more ...

Hi oldhacker - thanks for introducing yourself to the Qcad community and welcome! We are happy to help you with your question but may I ask you to post it again (copy/paste?) below "How do I Question" https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewforum.php?f=32 Include as much details, screenshots, dxf,dwg drawings ...

That doesn't sounds like the Qcad print dialog. That is assumingly your printer driver

Please attache a screenshot:
How?
