[solved] Set specific angle measurements to whole numbers

Post by Rick » Fri Nov 25, 2022 11:48 pm

How do I set just measured angles to display in whole numbers with no decimal places?
If this can be done to specific measurements that would be great, if to all angles in the drawing that would be OK.

Version 3.25 on Win 10.

Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately not in your QCAD version. The current QCAD version would be able to do that.

Below Drawing Preferences you can set the precision global for all angular measurements to 0. That will give you what you are looking for. :wink:

The workaround in older versions would be to explode (XP) the specific dimension and alter the representation of the resulting text entity.
Exploded it is no longer a dimension.

Or you could update to the latest version of QCAD PRO off course. :wink:
The Community Edition doesn't support Dimension Style Overrides.
