Print Preview auto scale by dialog

Post by CVH » Sat Oct 29, 2022 6:30 am

QCAD Pro 3.27.6.0 Win7 32bit msi installer.

Going to Print Preview in a new file a dialog pops up to automatically scale the drawing to paper.
Nice, but when confirming it seems that I am stuck with that choice.
I can manipulate scale, position on paper and so on for that instance.
The next time that I swap to Print Preview it is again automatically scaled without dialog.
It also seems to be global ... Print Preview of Model_Space, of Layouts and of individual Blocks.

How can I turn off this automatic scaling?

#EDIT# What seems to be functional is close file, close QCAD, start QCAD, open file and decline automatic scaling in the dialog on the first Print Preview. If that pops up ...

Regards,
CVH
