Entity has enlarged when put into Library

Post by spectric » Sun Jul 26, 2020 1:43 pm

Hi all

I have created several library items that have been perfect but something strange has occured with the last one. It is a sink unit of 1000mm length and this is shown in the drawing for it correctly. I placed it into the library and when I import it into a new drawing it has grown to 25000 mm length with all proportions correct, any suggestions?

I am running windows 10 64 bit and using version 3.24.3.0 (3.24.3) revision a3bef72 of Qcad.

thanks Roy

Missed out that if I open the library item to edit it is correct,

Please check the scale factor when inserting (options toolbar at the top).
Please check the drawing units of the library item and of the drawing you are working with (conversion might occur).

Hi Andrew

Checked these and scale factor is 1, and also I have found that with the original drawing of this entity open, if I import the entity from the library I get no issues. Have removed item from library and re added again which seems to have fixed the issue. I did wonder if any of this is related to another issue I am experiencing that I have not raised because I have not yet ruled out hardware. Occasionaly zoom runs away and I have no control until it stops but as said I need to try another mouse.

thanks Roy
