Quick Modify Tools Toolbar

Post by andrew » Sun May 08, 2022 1:35 pm

From a QCAD user:
How can I show the quick modify tools (move left, right, top, bottom, rotate CW, CCW) in a toolbar?

After activating every single tool in "Application Preferences" / "Tool Settings" it launches like this ...

Thanks Husky. Can you try to dock it and undock it again? It shouldn't actually launch undocked in the first place. Maybe it was undocked once in the past on your installation and it remembered a wrong size because of this?

It was first launched undocked!

However it works now! As you said I docked it and it unfolded immediately by itself. Closed / opened QCAD = still unfolded. :D

Detached it / placed in a free area - still everything fine!

and that was the issue with 3.27.4, I hadn't activated each tool, although I can't remember having to do that on any other toolbar :?
