I have a large drawing and only want to plot a small section. I tried creating a view, then plot view, but does not work. When I pull up the plot screen i can select the printer, but there is not an option to plot a view or window as in many other cad packages and Excel. only way I could find was to copy the file and delete everything except what I want to plot. I can plot the full drawing ok.
Hope you can help, so far this has been a great experience, once I got used to finding the commands and how they work. Thanks!

Re: plotting a small section of a drawing
Please refer to our printing tutorial at:
https://qcad.org/en/tutorial-printing
You can adjust the scale / position to print any section of the drawing you want.
A more advanced option would be using layouts and viewports:
