[solved] How do I go to a specific X,Y?

Post by DaleEltoft » Tue Jun 29, 2021 2:38 am

How can I direct QCAD to scroll my view to a specific X,Y? For a large drawing zoomed in to work on details it would save me time scrolling about if I could just direct QCAD to go somewhere with a quick command.

8) It would be really handy if I could equate some names to specific points and then command QCAD to scroll to a point by name.

I'm using 3.64.4.0 on Windows

I assume you are on QCAD Pro, correct?

What you are looking for is a widget which is called "View List".

Launch it, dock it where ever it suits your needs and use it to "jump" fast and directly to the saved views.

I think the widget is self explaining and I don't think that a Software guy like you needs more instruction on that. If I'm wrong I'm happy to help you with a setup. And yes - you can use your own name for each view ... :wink:

Yes I'm on Pro but obviously not a pro. Thanks that was exactly what I needed. :D
