text/label angle

Post by bambuko » Fri Aug 27, 2021 10:34 am

Is it possible to customise label angle for dimensions (other than horizontal ones) so that the label is always horizontal? regardless of dim orientation

Only ISO dimensions are currently supported by QCAD. Forced horizontal labels are planned for the next (snapshot) release.

We will release a new snapshot once these things are fully implemented and all unit tests pass.
