Unknown item on drawing surface

Post by Cactuslock » Thu Sep 14, 2023 2:03 am

I have what I can best describe as a 4" X 1/2" Blick that says over drawing surface. On the left of it us a small TV like screen with a check mark that changes to circle or whatever you are using at the time. It is continued on to other drawings. Even after closing program it returns. I'd like to show you a screen shot but don't know how to do this. The suggestions on entering this forum is to give what version but 2 weeks into don't know how to do that either. I paid for professional version and downloaded and recieved a flash drive also. After downloading of internet should I also load flash drive? I'm not sure if I'm just running free or professional programing

Cactuslock,

Similar post as the last one. :wink:
Probably your options Toolbar is floating, pick it by the dotted line and arrange it back as the lowest toolbar just above the drawing panel.
Or reset your configuration as per other reply.

Attaching files, screenshots as picture files see:

QCAD version can be found under Help .. About
And more details under Help .. About .. System

CVH

Depends,
Pro or Cam are downloaded from the personal download area, via a link that you received after purchase.
Trial versions are downloaded from the public site.
The CE version is a trial version with the pro features removed.

You don't need to install QCAD Pro twice, the flash drive is for safekeeping.
