I work in a world where up is zero degrees (and 360), 90 degrees is right, 180 is down and 270 is left.
Can I set this up as the default polar system?
QCad Pro 3.27.8.0

Change polar reference to zero degrees is up, 180 is down

Hi,
Basic mathematics tells us that zero degrees is right ... East.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_circle
An that is the way it is in QCAD.
The X-axis is horizontal and increasing values are to the right.
Zero degree is the positive X-axis and forward angles are pointing CCW.
As long as QCAD doesn't support an UCS there is little we can do.
BTW: It does support UCS internally while reading files but you can not alter that.
This said, there is a way around this:
