How to change dimension units

Post by mlwoy » Wed Jun 26, 2019 5:01 pm

Qcad version 3.21.2
Operating System Windows 7

Created a drawing and went to dimension it. Dimension settings are as follows:

Scale Factor 1
Format: Architectural
Precision: 0'-0 1/4"

Have a line which shows it's length as 2.5" in the Properties Editor
When dimensioned horizontally lists out as 5' 7.25"

How do I change the settings to get the dimention to reflect the correct length of the line.
I would like the dimension format to reflect the length as 2.5"

When you launch a dimension tool an option bar will pop up. Please make sure that the scale factor is 1:1.
