[solved] Changing dimension preferences

Post by andrew » Mon Sep 27, 2021 8:19 am

From a QCAD user:
Under dimension preferences, I can only change the text height, not the other values (dimension line gap, extension line extension / offset, etc.)

While the checkbox "Keep proportions" is ticked, all values are automatically adjusted relatively to the text height. Increasing the text height will also increase the gap, arrow size, etc.

To adjust each value individually, simply uncheck the checkbox "Keep proportions".
