Where's the units in my dimensions?

Post by simpsonrr » Tue Mar 30, 2021 4:34 am

My dimensions are showing with question marks where the ' or " marks would be. Example a 5foot 6 inch dimension looks like 5?-6?
The dimension settings under drawing preferences show format as architectural. Is there someplace else to look to fix this or is it a bug?

The used text font for Dim Label doesn't support those characters. Try another text font like "Standard" and see what happens ...
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.
If a thread is considered as "solved" please change the title of the first post to "[solved] Title..."

You can change the dimension font under
Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimension > Dimension Settings > Label Font

If you cannot solve the problem, please:
- indicate your operating system and QCAD version
- attach your drawing file

Thanks, changing font did the trick. I must have accidently changed the font before, I didn't do it intentionally.
