Move changes properties

Post by RickF » Mon Jan 14, 2019 8:06 pm

I'm using Qcad Pro v3.21.3 on a mac. I'm just finishing a drawing of a drawer cabinet and drawers for silverware/utensils. I am using layers - cabinet, dimensions, drawer, hidden etc. each with different colors and hidden layer also uses hidden x2 linetype
After finishing the drawing I selected everything in order to move bottom left corner to 0,0. I was on the hidden layer last & when I moved everything all lines and color was changed to the hidden layer properties.
I did an undo then tried moving 1 object. If it had different layers all properties changed to the same as the layer I was working on.
Did I miss something? I did a move not edit properties.

Make sure that in your move dialog the option "Use current layer attributes" isn't checked.
