Find and zoom

Post by fkirim » Fri Nov 20, 2020 1:00 pm

Hi There,

Is there a way to "find and zoom to " an object/text etc. in Qcad. I can see just "find and replace" not "Find and Zoom to".

Thank you

Two steps:

Find and select text

View > Selection Filter
Entity type: Text based
Property: Plain text
Comparison: is (or contains etc.)
Click button at bottom left of selection filter

Zoom to selection

View > Zoom > Zoom to Selection
