I try with "qcad file.dxf" but nothing works.

Also, "qcad --help" don't show anything.

How can I do it?

QCad Pro 3.18

Thanks.

That should work. My (Linux) desktop file does this:

Code: Select all

/opt/qcad/qcad /home/len/Documents/QCAD-default.dxf
...which is essentially the same thing you indicated.

Does QCAD not launch at all, or does it launch but without loading your file?

What OS are you on?

To show usage info:
./qcad -h
If it does not work, you might not be in the right directory.
