Hello Draughtsmen, I'm trying to scale this drawing to actual size (0.765) but I can't.
The result is that I see circles after the operation. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you, Emiel

The drawing itself looks good to me - no issues to scale it as required.

Re: Scale drawing
My apologies Husky, I hadn't specified the y-factor.

Re: Scale drawing
Emiel,
Your drawing scales fine over here.
There are no circles to scale from so I don't expect circles as outcome.
What version of QCAD are you running?
What I did:
Select > Select All (TA) (Selection = 3 Line segments + 2 Polylines)
Modify > Scale (SZ)
Indicated the Origin as focus point.
Entered 0.765 as proportional scale, opted for deleting the original and accepted the dialog.
The horizontal line is now just over 919mm.

CVH

Re: [Solved] Scale drawing
With an empty Y factor the Polylines are reduced to 3 nodes and look like circles.
A very odd outcome that is worth investigating.
The lines are reduced to Null-entities.
IMHO scaling with an empty factor is an error and should not be preformed ...
Or it should default to factor 1.00 similar as with an error for the Paste scale.
