[solved] Symbols instead of numbers?

Post by smcintire » Tue Jun 08, 2021 10:02 pm

I am trying to use the measuring tool, but instead of having measurement numbers I have # and a couple of circles? I am using windows 10 QCAD Ver# 3.26.4.0. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Your actual drawing has no font for the measurements. Please change the Dimension Label Font to Standard or which ever font you like to use for dimensioning.
