Update: Imperial (US) drawing sheet templates, ANSI A-E

Hey - how nice is that!
With the new QCAD 3.3.0 release we have more and nicer possibility's to handle i.e. the entries in a title blocks or a revision block.
It's called "Block attributes" and that was a reason for me to update the Drawing sheet templates with this new feature of QCAD.

Hi, these are great. I would like to amend these to metric and United Kingdom standard paper sizes but I'm struggling to amend the templates successfully.

I am unable to hear the tutorial. I have logged into YouTube and still can not get the audio to play. Is this located somewhere that I could download the file? :?:

Is it possible to enter a multi line title in the drawing title field?

Thanks.

So, then you're saying by inserting text manually in the block, not through use of the field, right? Also, I take it Standard if the font you've used for the rest of the text in the title block?

The reason I ask is that some applications have a special key sequence to insert a carriage return into a text string (spreadsheets for example) and I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something here.

Thanks for the response.

Hi!

Been looking for free 2D-CAD sw as I have no longer access to MicroStation (used that about 15+ years). After seraching online, seems QCAD is a decent alternative and will give it a shot! :)

Now, my 1st question is, are these (or similar) drawing sheet templates available in metric units (A4-A0)?

If not, I wonder can these be "converted" to A4-Ax sizes easily? Pretty sure someone has done that already... :)


BR,
Timo

If I try to insert and explode these, they seem to crash my QCAD 3.25.2.0.

I'm using a Mac. I did this:

Unzipped the directory, Did QCadPro/Preferences/Widgets/LibraryBrowser, Add unzipped file path
Closed and Restarted QCAD
LibraryBrowser/ Navigated to the folder, drug the "ANSI A" into modelspace and placed it at 0,0
TX (to select the block)
XP (to explode) -- QCAD crashes out.

I tried this with ANSI E and it also crashed.

I tried again with the libraries/templates/metric/din_a3_m_landscape.dxf template from the distribution and I was able to eXPlode it into components as expected.

I was attempting to explode these ANSI templates this to see if I could access and edit the attributes, since the attributes didn't seem to show up under the entire, unexploded block.
