New old guy.

Post by aubie » Fri Apr 03, 2020 11:16 pm

I'm a retired engineer who started in the auto industry when drafting was done with t-squares and drafting boards. My first at home software was AutoCAD Lite 97 and 2000, and later DoubleCAD. Recently I lost everything but my documents when my old Dell died. I bought QCAD in hopes of resurrecting some of my old .dwg files. No luck printing them so far, but I hope the forum can help me solve that problem. Thanks in advance for any advice you care to share.

Husky - THANKS ! That tutorial did the trick. Problem was that all my line widths were 0.00 mm. Printing just fine now. I think I am going to like QCAD and this forum.
