How to make Qcad drawings bigger

Post by scot6puk » Tue Oct 21, 2014 2:10 pm

Is there a way to your drawings 2-3% bigger as I want to make some castings from my drawings, I have included a drawing to show you what I need to do? I am using the latest version on windows 7.

Hi Len,

select the entities what needs to be scaled and use the scale tool with a scale factor of 1.02 (=+2%) ...

Is that what you are looking for?
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..."
