[solved] E book is different than the program

Post by steve_hi » Fri Apr 17, 2020 6:52 pm

Just doing the exercise on relative co-ordinates in Ch.8 and noticed that Qcad is different than the E book, we no longer need to enter @ each time for relative coordinates which makes it easier, But I find if I make a mistake in entering a coordinate that undo doesn't leave you at the right coordinate
is there a solution to this other than Don't make a mistake?

Just saw my error I thought I was supposed to put the @ with the coordinate but NO just click the green checkmark. Lots of work learning something new

:wink:

Just for clarification:
You have two basic coordinate systems. Absolute and relative. The use or not use of the @ (or what ever your setting is) will determine which coordinate system is used.

Undo will work too but you have to exit first the current used tool.
