Add another shortcut on different F key and close QCAD.
When you re-start QCAD notice that the original F2 shortcut is now lost.

Nope - as I said I'm able to save multiple F keys. I'm on Win10/64 too.

Have you tried to run QCAD as Administrator before you change the shortcuts?

Hi, I need to use QCAD Pro on a USB Drive. I like to use also Templates which has to be used only within that USB Drive. I was able to tell QCAD where to find and save the qcad3.ini on the USB regardless a changing Drive letter with using a Drive Name. Now I need to use a Drive Name for a Templates ...

Yes, thanks, I have spent awhile changing the preferences settings. I just wish they would stay as I set them! I can confirm the same behavior on my Win10. Looks like some kind of conflict with multiple shortcuts ... For instance if I add a shortcut of F2 for snap center, that will persist after cl...

Yep - bei mir ist der Groschen nun auch gefallen. Danke Euch fürs erklären!

Hi THomas - thanks but I have still trouble to understand that feature. When you change the option "Ignore Layer" and/or "Ignore Direction" the selection is automatically refreshed. Auto Refresh is an extra Button. My understanding is that a ticked Auto Refresh will automatically detect changes in t...

Hi,

please attach an example drawing which shows this effect. Thanks.

BTW: The Property Manager will give you also that information.

Hi,
what is the purpose of this switch? On/Off doesn't matter and changes to layer visibility or layer locks are also ignored. For what can I use it .... ?

Ich denke auch das die von Kurt genannte Lösung wohl die momentan beste ist. Vergesse aber bitte nicht das doppelte Objekte auf dem gesperrten Layer noch einmal extra gesucht werden müssen. Beim rumspielen mit dem "Doppelte Objekte finden" Werkzeug kommen aber bei mir noch ein paar andere Gedanken h...

Kannst Du eine Beispielzeichnung posten mit der man das geschilderte Problem nachvollziehen kann?

Hi riverbuoy - thank you very much to looking into this!

I installed your patch and tested it within my example case. Till now it works flawless - very NICE! I'll see what happens with different scenarios and if I recognize a problem I'll post it here.

Have a nice weekend!

I see. I forgot that the picture is much bigger for you as an software developer as that what we common user are able to imagine. At least I'm not the only one who thinks that is an odd behavior and I don't know how AC explains that. It can't be a compatibility reason ... :shock: Ok, lets hope that ...

This is intended behaviour and in line with the DXF/DWG standard and other CAD systems. In vocational schools for technical Draftsman/woman we trained our students not to change a dimension style without a good reason. It is hard for me to believe that a uncontrolled jump from one style to another ...

You're welcome - have fun!

Something like this?

Freut mich zu lesen!

Das war auch für mich neu aber ich kann es reproduzieren. Über den Zusammenhang muss ich erst einmal nachdenken ...
