QCAD .dxf Layout Settings

Post by elijahroberts199 » Tue Apr 04, 2023 3:04 am

I'm trying to use more QCAD to do my drafting, but I am working with folks who still use AutoCAD, so I'm trying out different file formats to see which is the best one. I've noticed that layout settings (size and centering of the paper space) never sticks after creating a drawing that looks good in QCAD, and I have to simply redo it in the AutoCAD environment.

Is there a .dxf version or setting in the application/drawing settings that would help me solve this problem? I can attach pictures if that would help.

Please attache a dxf or dwg file and if essential to understand the issue also pictures to your post for further investigations. Thank you.
