[solved] No symbols in my library

Post by johnboy » Wed Jul 07, 2021 1:31 am

Hi again,
When I open the Library Browser and open the default folder, then click on let's say, Architecture (or any of the others), there are no symbols to be found. I looked in the book for guidance, but it assumes there's content in the folders. What am I doing wrong? Or do I need to load a Library file?
Appreciate your help. Thanks.

Version: PRO 3.26.4.0 (3.26.4)

I don't think all the libraries are installed, but you can find them here -->> https://qcad.org/en/qcad-add-ons

Yes. Problem solved. Why is this not in the literature?
Thanks, Guys!
