[solved] Switch between metric & english?

[typhon62]

Is there a way to toggle between english and metric in QCad?

I'm currently stuck in inches and no matter what I set the drawing units to in Edit->General->Drawing_Unit it stays in inches.

I've looked at the documentation and searched around the forum and I seem to be doing what I should be doing...

What am I missing???

Hi,

Is there a way to toggle between english and metric in QCad?

Yes.

I'm currently stuck in inches and no matter what I set the drawing units to in Edit->General->Drawing_Unit it stays in inches.

That will simply explained only change the name of the unit. e.g. a 100 inch line is then 100 mm.

To change the unit for the whole drawing please use the converting tool in QCAD. Menu / Edit / Convert Drawing Unit. It will convert the whole drawing inclusive the proper scaling regarding the change.
