If you open a file (in QCAD Professional Edition) that was created by the Community Edition, some dimension lines might be shown at a different position. This seems to happen if you have edited the Text Position.
In the example below I created an Aligned Dimension of length=20 (Community Edition). The text original position was at Y=11.875. If I open this file in the Professional Edition everything is fine.
Back to the Community Edition, I changed the Text Position from Y=11.875 to Y=12.
If I open this changed file in the Professional Edition again, the Dimension Line is also shown at Y=12 (before it was Y=10).

Re: Dimension lines at wrong position
Hi Husky, thanks for the welcome and for your answer.
In fact I didn't know this feature but unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem.
In the example above, the Professional Edition shows the dimension line at Y=12 whereas the Community Edition shows it at Y=10 (please keep in mind it is the same DXF-R15 file). For me it looks like both Editions interpret the DXF-R15 format in a different way. Do you use the same dxflib for both?
