Hi,

delete needs a selection to be activated. Select with the mouse what needs to be deleted, hit delete on the keyboard or below Menu / Edit / Delete - done. :wink:
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.
If a thread is considered as "solved" please change the title of the first post to "[solved] Title..."

Thanks thoght I had tried all options for selection, but obviously not.
another question, when I move /scroll on Y axis, the X axis moves too. and vice vesa is this normal? It drives me crazy and I keep losing image locaions.

Hi,
In essence these are question to ask in:
- QCAD 'How Do I' Questions
- QCAD Troubleshooting and Problems

I think you mean zooming. :wink:

Shift + Wheel -or- Wheel on horizontal scroll bar = Panning horizontal.
Ctrl + Wheel -or- Wheel on vertical scroll bar = Panning vertical.
Wheel inside view panel = Zoom in/out in regard with the cursor as focus.

In the last case all depends on where you are pointing at. :wink:
Without any selection one can also pan with the arrow keys.
With the plus/minus key one can zoom in/out with the view panel center as focus.

Some behaviors can be changed under Menu .. Edit .. Application Preferences(Crtl+,) .. Graphics View .. Navigation

Regards,
