I am probably doing something seriously wrong but I can't get the dimension lines to show numbers.
Maybe I simply am using the wrong command.
I am a total newbie to the product so please be kind.
Dimension lines not showing numbers

Please refer to the FAQ at:

Hi, I have the same problem, and worked out that it was too small to see, but when I go into the relevant screen to fix it, I can't make the dimensions text more than 5mm. It won't let me type in any other number than what appears in the dropdown.
I am drawing a car chassis in real world dimensions (3000mm * 1500mm approx) and when I print the diagram on A4 I can't read the dimensions.
What am I missing?
Great product by the way, loving using it.

OK, this is where I apologise! I am using the community version on Ubuntu 8.04. I realise now that I should have posted there, but as this thread was going I thought I'd tag on to the end.andrew wrote:This is odd.

What version of QCAD are you using and on what exact operating system?
Sounds like I need to buy the book and a full version!
