Printing a window & opening saved drawing with DWG TrueView

Post by Roger Harrison » Sat Aug 29, 2020 9:51 am

I am a new user of QCAD Professional.
I have opened a file drawn using different software - I would like to print a "window" is this possible.

I have made modifications to this drawing and tried saving it in both "dxf" and "dwg" formats and then opening the saved file with "DWG TrueView" but it does not show the dimensioned text or arrows when opened in "DWG TrueView". The extension lines are there but not the text or the arrows.

Please attach your drawing file, so we can reproduce the problem here.

Note: I've split this topic as there are two questions / issues in one post. You can find my answer to the first question at:
