Background Color

Post by rossmw » Wed Feb 17, 2021 8:50 pm

Hello all, I have QCAD 3.25.2 on a windows 64 bit system

QCAD is opening my white drawing with a white background so I have to highlight , then change the color. That is no problem, the problem is when I use the dimension tool, the dimension then shows up white. Then I have to change it to red. I'm not going to do this to all the dimensions, so can someone tell me how to either change the background color to black OR change the dimensions/drawing to a default color? Thanks

Dimensions are drawn in the color of the active layer. Please refer also to our brief introduction into layers and colors at:
