Hi Richard, Hi Folks, I'm new to QCAD so maybe this is a simple fix but I can't seem to get the dimensions to change from millimeters to inches. I've changed the settings in the Edit|Drawing Preferences but nothing changes. You have to convert the drawing (Menu/Edit/Convert Drawing Unit). Your Metho...

No, till the next release comes out I would recomment to print directly out of the Model_Space ... Workaround: Use my modified dxf, Launch "Print Preview" directly out of Model_Space, Note: I used an Arch D, 1"=32" - certainly something what you can change, Launch "Move to Paper Position" in the opt...

I don't think that a Openoffice Writer document supports a dxf/dwg format from what ever source - but that is just a wild guess.
I would use screenshots of the QCAD drawing in a png, jpg etc format.

Good luck!

... yet when I select a drawing with a new viewport for that drawing and then select the new block layout name (from the pulldown window) it instead brings you to an older one block layout name and or drawings, or on other scenarios it brings you to a page one that is off by 100 fold for both new v...

Hi, right now I'm wondering about a layer behavior and just like to ask: Jams my logic :wink: Scenario: I have a block, build for constructive reasons out of multiple other blocks called "Gas Lift". If I insert it on a layer (e.g. Phantom) in Model Space it will not adopt the layer attributes - yep,...

I'm assuming your file contains a block which contains entities on layer "0". These entities have their attributes set to "By Block". Your drawing then contains a block reference on layer "Hidden" with attributes "By Layer". If that's not correct, please attach your file. No, exactly like TSG's exa...

Hi, right now I'm a bit confused and not sure what would be the correct behavior for an exploded block. In my opinion it should be different than that what I experience ... Case: Blocks created on Layer "0" to be able to adopt the Layer attributes where it is put to. So, my QCAD settings says that i...

Ok, it is what it is.

¼ should work though.

Yes it works but as you know there are a lot of fractions which has to be covered ...

I do not know if the Community Version I am using has this functionality.

Yep, the Community Version can do that too.
Accepts the "K40 Whisperer" software dxf file formats?

That isn't drawn in 1:1, correct? If I'm right - may I ask you why not?

Hi, every time when I create a Block which needs to have a hint in the name for inch/fractional information I have to deal with a QCAD limitation. Block names (and Layer) are not allowed to use a / or " . Surprisingly °'~!@#$%^&()_-+}{][ is allowed but the / and " (which is existential in the imperi...

Ok, that explains it. Thanks.

Hi,

this is not an answer to your question but I'm wondering why your Spindle Speed is set to 1100. Depending on the mill / material I would assume a proper speed has to be somewhat between 20000 and 30000 ....

I included my DWG QCAD PRO file so someone can tell me why this isn’t working correctly.

The attachment is missing.

That is not a setting which can be find in the Application Preferences dialog. That setting is directly done by user interaction with help of the option bar during creating a dim ....
