Library Drawing are all skewed???

Post by sandyg » Tue Dec 31, 2019 2:03 am

Was working on a Library drawing for a crankshaft gear wheel (angular position) and noticed things that should be horizontal had rotated a small amount (0.0136 rads or so). So I loaded a couple of simple example library items and they all seem to do it (Rectangle, etc).

I'm not sure what I did to the environment, but I must have don't something that causes this.

Regular manual drawing seems to be working OK just the few simple library (ones with code or a DXF) seem to do it.

I'm sure it's something simple I messed up but not sure where to look.

Running Windows QCAD PRO Version: 3.21.3.0 (3.21.3).

Any tips on where to start would be great. I'm going to try another machine with another version that has been untouched to see what I can find.

Thanks
Sandy

When you insert a Library item (or crankshaft :wink: ) an option bar will pop with a few customizable insert option. Check the settings first for correct rotation etc.

If the option bar doesn't pops up make sure it is activated below:
Menu/View/Toolbars and Widgets/Toolbars/Options
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.

You are the man!

I would drop the library element on the page and them look for setting. The rotate edit never caught my eye when in process of dragging it.

Thought I had really botched up something :D

Thanks again!
