QCAD file opened in CAD - Missing details

Post by scott.niblock » Wed Feb 01, 2023 9:49 am

Hi,

I created a design in QCAD and sent it to my friend, he has CAD. When he opened it, many details are missing from the drawing. I do not know what has happened as it worked fine previously.

I have attached the screenshots.

Would really appreciate some help with this.

Thanks
Scott

I don't think details are missing - I think they are hard to see because a black line is used for the couture. Black line on a black background are difficult to see. QCAD can handele that :wink:
For a test you may ask your friend to change the background color on his system from black to something else or you change the couture color in your drawing to e.g. white.
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
