Dimensioning

Post by Glenn Schultz » Tue May 04, 2021 11:36 pm

A dimensioning problem has developed.
I am unable to position dimension lines and text. The dimension line and dimensions appear but when I try to position the dimension it disappears.
This was working very well until a few days ago.

Please go a bit more into details. What means "it disappears"?

Has you change your workflow a few days ago? Played with unfamiliar QCAD tools? Updated QCAD? And what is the QCAD version on which OS?
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.

No, but as the software as working well some bug has developed. The software that was installed in Sept 2020 so I am thinking of repairing or reinstalling the software. Windows 10 will not let me repair so I have to remove and reinstall. Hope no problems develop.

Maybe you should first try to reset the QCAD configuration.

Here is explained how to do that:
