Any decent mouse with three buttons (a middl...

What is your favourite Vintage Drafting Book?

Years ago I had an amazing vintage engineering drawing book that had been translated from Russian. A work colleague borrowed it and it was never to be seen again. Do you have a favourite "vintage" drafting book?

Please share some photos and stories of your favourite "vintage" drafting books.

Basically to say QCAD is totally awesome, You should try it; It is seriously worth getting and the only potential show stopper I could see was what I mentioned above. Whilst the origi...

Scenario when dropping AutoCAD for QCAD may not be practical

I have used AutoCAD for many decades and am seriously enjoying using and learning QCAD Professional. It is incredibly great value and a very capable drafting package. I like that it is not AutoCAD nor does it try to be a clone. Being able to read and write DWG files is a big plus. Sure there are som...

[SOLVED] How do I hide the marker (tiny circle and crosshair) that remains after moving the last object?

Is there a setting to turn off the marker (circle with cross hairs) that appears after moving an object?
I am using QCAD Professional version 3.27.8 on a mac.

Re: Greetings from Australia

Thanks John,
I am feeling good about having bought QCAD Pro and excited to start learning how to use it.
Still being able to edit my previous AutoCAD drawings is a big relief.

Greetings from Australia

Hi all, Coming from a manual drafting background then switching to AutoCAD in the 90's I am very comfortable with AutoCAD and customising it at work to be more efficient. Years ago I bought my own copy of AutoCAD LT to draft plans on but found it considerably slower to use than AutoCAD due to it's l...
