[Solved] Convert Drawing causes hang, doesn't convert

Post by omarfilip » Fri Jan 14, 2022 10:08 pm

Hello,

I have a drawing in metric units that I want to convert to imperial. When I use the Convert Drawing (CU) command after setting the drawing settings to imperial, QCAD hangs (sort of) - the drawing elements can't be selected or unselected, but other functions seem to work. The metric dimensions are not converted to imperial.

Hi,
I can't reproduce the issue on a Win system.

To convert a drawing launch CU, check the option bar, left unit is the actuell drawing unit, then chose in the right field the target unit and confirm with the green arrow. Should work ...

Thanks @Husky. Bonehead mistake - I had left To: None instead of Inch.

And then also disregarded the warning message in red issued on the Command History .... :wink:
Unit "None" selected. Nothing to be done
