Length and angle display toolbar

Post by johnboy » Mon Jul 05, 2021 11:51 pm

I am new to QCAD.
In some tutorials, I have seen a toolbar where one enters the precise length and angle of a desired line to be drawn into spaces on the bar.
I cannot find how to turn this toolbar on. I am trying to draw property lines in decimal feet measurement, thus must have snap off.
Must this info be entered on the command line?
Thanks for your help.

I use Windows 10, 64 bit

When you launch a line tool the option bar popups automatically on the upper left Model_Space area.

If it doesn't popup make sure the option bar is activated below Menu / View / Toolbars and Widgets / Toolbars
