Hello
I have a finished project (drawing) and I want to make a printed circuit board. How do I bold lines in QCAD to make them 1 millimeter thick or other on the paper?

Hi Certina,
make sure all those lines are on the same layer. Then change the layer attribute "Line weight" to 1 mm.

Re: Line
It is a fundamental concept in CAD to control Attributes for entities like Line weight, color etc. within a layer. The concept of a layer can be study in this tutorial:

Re: Line
It'll definitively work in the QCAD trial version! Do you have any CAD experience?

Hi Certina,
First things first:
Pls read the Forum Rules at the top
OS? Version? QCAD version?
Like Husky explained:
But I agree that the tutorial doesn't explain everything in the finest details ... for all cases ...
If the trial version bothers you: (after a certain period)
Then I presume only 'Layer 0' exist and one can set the Lineweight the same as mentioned.
Alternative: Save File .. Close & ReBoot QCAD .. Open File (If not loading by itself)
Immediately start with adding your specific Layers.
Q?: Are all the line entities on the same Layer?
Y/N: Do this for that Layer / all the Layers.
Layer List .. Double-Click Layer name >> Layer Dialog .. Change Lineweight to the desired weight.
or select the Layer in the Layer List with a single click (= set active) and click on the pencil.
or when already active Type 'YE'
When you can't answer the Question: Type 'TA' and report what the selection tells you.
See the Property Editor .. General Properties .. Layer:
If you don't have a layer List visible .. Type 'GY' (= Menu View .. Layer List)
The 'GY' command may not comply in certain cases:
- Click anywhere in the void in Model_Space and try again.
- Or hit Space and enter 'GY' in the Command line.
- Or click on the Command Line and enter 'GY'
If all this failed I presume there is something wrong with your file or your installation.
A screenshot may clear things out.
You can also post your drawing or PM it (Private Msg).
