Re: Very Basic: Lines, trim
Hi,
Your question isn't that basic - there are uncounted (not really) possibility's to accomplish your task. With what I know so far I would answer use a line tool and an offset tool and there is no need to trim anything ...

That's helpful.

Re: Very Basic: Lines, trim
Are there any tutorials, books, etc for architects using QCAD?
Re: Very Basic: Lines, trim
Solely for architects? Not to my knowledge. But there is an excellent QCAD book out there from the QCAD developer himself:

And as a matter of fact there are many Architects which work with QCAD Pro and share the experiences with the user in this forum ...
