The settings below Drawing Preferences are not meant for a tolerance. That is a display precision setting what tells QCAD to show e.g 25.67 instead of 25.668973. You can kill trailing zero's but that is all. To use tolerances you can make individual decision for each Dim within the Dim option bar: H...

You're Quite Welcome!

Done! I did have an issue with it presenting the portrait layout even though I selected the landscape layout, but I manually select the correct one and all was well. I thought I'd done something wrong in the create process so I repeated it, but the problem occurred again so it wasn't me, but it's a...

One question - can I delete the two unused layout blocks (Layout1 and Layout2) that come in the file by default? Yes. Ok, time to double check a few thinks. Have a look at the Drawing Preferences and check Dimension, Page size blablabla settings. Those settings are used for every new drawing and th...

Is the active layer switched to invisible or locked?

If that doesn't solves the issue please attach the drawing. Thanks.

Yes it is.


You are quit welcome to modify it to what ever suits your needs best.

Info which I need for the next steps: What is your Drawing Unit?

Great! Next steps .... Create two new Layout Blocks (Paper_Space) below Menu / Block / Add Layout Block. use "talking" names like ANSI-A L and ANSI-A P, ignore the Order field. (L stands for Landscape / P stands for Portrait). Now select everything in your drawing what belongs to the Landscape borde...

My linear factor is 2 for the dimension, How can I reset the linear factor to 1? To edit an already existing linear factor you can use the Property Editor. To control the linear factor during creating a dimension keep an eye on the option bar. Husky-2018.11.23-01.png The option bar will remember th...

Salut, vous pouvez déplacer un calque vers un autre calque parent dans la liste des calques. Malheureusement, vous ne pouvez pas copier directement une couche, mais il existe une solution de contournement. S'il vous plaît élaborer exactement ce que vous essayez de faire - si possible joindre un exem...

Great! Thanks for the info. I would like to give you a basic setup what already comes pretty close to your daily work task. To make it then perfect to your situation is then up to you. :wink: What is the plan? We create a "Default Template" drawing which starts always with QCAD. It will also be used...

I have an existing drawing in a separate file I'd like to add insert into the ANSI A portrait border. Being somewhat new to QCAD, I'm not sure of the correct approach to make this happen. Should I simply copy the entities from the part file into the border file? Yep - that would be already a proper...

Please use my sample DWG, use autozoom first and then try snap grid?

Yep - I can confirm the behavior now.

Please check the Application Preferences for "Automatically scale grid". If that is ticked please untick it and try again. Thanks.

Thanks but I have still no problems to snap to the 150 mm grid.


BTW: Your Meta Grid Spacing has funny values - maybe Auto works for you too.

Hi,

unfortunately I can't reproduce that.
You are sure that the Grid Snap (SG) was activated and not only GR which makes the Grid only visible.

If the issue still exist please attache the drawing to the post. Thanks
