Hi,
Is there any way to edit the dimension text. It means manually overwrite the value. For example the measured distance is 1460mm but I want to make it 1500 (to make it 'round/ nice value'). So normally In AutoCad I would select the option of a "new value". How does it work in Qcad? Is there also a special command? The value-box in preference window is 'grey' so I can't fill there anything. I know when making a dimension you can select between a measured value of a fixed value I can fill in.
Thanks for your help.
Regards Radek

Hi,
you can overwrite the value Label within the Property Editor.
Select the DIM and change it in the Property Editor:
To make a notation you can use <> which will represent the real value plus text like <> (Imperial)
That looks like this:
