Was I mistaken about the size of what I drew, or did my changes to the grid and meta grid settings somehow change the dimensions of my outline? The grid settings will not affect drawing entity sizes, the Grid is an overlay. Did you determine the original/new size by Grid, by Property Editor, by Inf...

Things can ONLY snap to the Grid. Never to the Meta Grid unless it corresponds to a GRID location. Indeed, you are actually snapping to the Grid if that coincides with the Meta Grid. In my situation, where I need 0.050" spacing I could set the Grid to 0.050" and the Meta Grid to a larger spacing, l...

So the free version is the one that requires a restart every 15 minutes? No, that is the QCAD professional trial version. In the other topic I pointed out to a reply by Andrew with an image of the Trial Widget. That post starts with: Please do read the information on the download page: http://www.q...

Paul,

What link/internet page do you use to log on to the forum?

Hi,

Library items are the keywords to look for.

@ Maystor: I have received the file by PM. It is not the 3D art of the polylines that makes it not possible to select them. It is the combination of Z-5 and the custom width of 0.02 units. BTW: A box select works when whole the polyline is inside the box. For example L199, 'GAZ a Basse pression' the...

(I actually liked the fact that the bitmap import button on the old version showed a colour photograph whereas the newer version is B&W, like something on a Canon camera display which doesn't have colour capability...) The button icon was indeed updated on Dec 12, 2018 Probably a Dark theme related...

QCAD is 2D and would not be able to read 3D correctly. Husky, I have to disagree with how you put it. QCAD methods for drawing new entities are basically limited to 2D, true, but QCAD reads and handles 3D information fairly correct. There are exceptions. An arc for example can only exist in a flat ...

Hi, A grid is a rectangular pattern of dots and/or lines that covers the entire XY plane. It is an overlay and will not be printed. In QCAD the dots are the Grid points and the lines are the Meta Grid. One can however prefer to format the Grid as solid lines: menu View .. Application Preferences .. ...

First QCAD is completely FREE. Then it is $42! But there really is a free version. But I can't get it for reasons, UNKNOWN. So I pay $42! Answered here: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6712#p43534 Yes, QCAD CE is completely free. No, you can not download it, you can trial QCAD Prof...

But when I tried to run the program once more, it could not start anymore. The Qcad window opens but icons are greyed out. A trial version is limited in time per session and can be opened a limited numbers of times. Perhaps it failed to register the session after the initial run ... Guessing. I can...

The linetype list shows correctly lines, but not on the lines. See the capture. The capture also shows that Screen-based Linetypes are active. :wink: Never seen a drop-down box before that spans the entire screen. Please provide in the file seen in the capture. And perhaps we need to verify the *.l...

Recent QCad doesn't draw correctly linetypes from Autocad generated files (dwg), Is that using Screen-based Linetypes or not? no text on the line for example Custom Linetypes or especially those that include shapes (=text) may not be displayed 'as-is' using Screen-based Linetypes. This is to speed ...

Hi, I also have seen the "completely free" words used but it seems that it is very difficult to actually get that free version. The trial versions are downloaded from the main download page: https://www.ribbonsoft.com/en/download That are fully functional versions of QCAD Professional or QCAD/CAM wh...

Veuillez fournir une mesure connue en X et en Y pour quelque chose sur le dessin. Une fenêtre, une porte,... un mur ... Parce que je doute de la justesse du plan. Par exemple : Surface salon = 312676mm² ce qui ne correspond pas à 33,7m². Un autre exemple : Le salon mesure 859 unités de long et 364 u...
