Bonjour,
Si vous avez gardé les répertoires de la version 2.2, il est facile de déclarer le chemin d'accès dans les préférences. On peut alors accéder à toute la bibliothèque créée auparavant.

Re: Default Template?

I had the same question a while ago and Andrew made a short script that will call whatever template you define:

Then, as he suggested, I made a batch file that is called when I click the QCAD icon (win7). That works quite well for me.

Re: Divide a circle

I tried to play with the split tool as you said. There is something that is puzzling: in the example, I tried dividing a circle in 7 parts with a start angle of 10°. Entering 10 in the box does not produce the expected result. In order to obtain an angle close to 10°, I have to enter "10*(180/3.1415...

Such a tool exists, but one must do X then Y coordinate. I have used it several times.

Re: Auto center function

I do that manually. I drew my section on a new layer, hoping this would do it, but auto center takes the whole drawing, even if everything else is masked. Let's keep that for a future edition, that is not critical!
Thanks for the comments.

Auto center function

When working on very large drawings I sometimes have to print only a small section. It would be handy to be able to have the option to apply the auto center function only to the said section.

layer color change

I have had the exact same behavior happen many times. Not sure yet with RC4 as it is still fairly recent. I noticed this problem mostly when working alternatively with ver2.2.2.0 and 3.

load and save problem

You are right, I had a backup of the original file created with ver 2.2.2.0 and trying "load" and "save as" without any changes to the drawing, produces the same error message. I am mailing the file "14mx_112s_68-6219.dxf", as it is before cleaning up. Thanks for your help.

Empty file after editing a drawing

I was editing, "cleaning" an old drawing, removing unused blocks and empty layers, but when I wanted to save the work I got a warning "null object ID" and my file was lost (0 kb), there was no way to save it, the only way to exit the loop is to discard changes on closing. I have had this problem bef...

start up template

Thanks for your quick reply. When I type the start up code in the command line, it is ver2.2.2 that gets launched, not 3.0
Is it possible to make a short cut in the traditional Windows way?
