Hey - how nice is that!
With the new QCAD 3.3.0 release we have more and nicer possibility's to handle i.e. the entries in a title blocks or a revision block.
It's called "Block attributes" and that was a reason for me to update the Drawing sheet templates with this new feature of QCAD.

Hi, these are great. I would like to amend these to metric and United Kingdom standard paper sizes but I'm struggling to amend the templates successfully.

Hi , have a look here:

viewtopic.php?f=51&t=2047

They are also included with QCAD itself!

[BrushType4]

Thanks!

I am unable to hear the tutorial. I have logged into YouTube and still can not get the audio to play. Is this located somewhere that I could download the file?

Unfortunately this Video is without Audio.

Thank you very much for taking the time to produce this template!

Kind regards

Is it possible to enter a multi line title in the drawing title field?

Thanks.

[Husky]

Yes it is.

You are quit welcome to modify it to what ever suits your needs best.

So, then you're saying by inserting text manually in the block, not through use of the field, right? Also, I take it Standard if the font you've used for the rest of the text in the title block?

The reason I ask is that some applications have a special key sequence to insert a carriage return into a text string (spreadsheets for example) and I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something here.

Thanks for the response.

Hi!

Been looking for free 2D-CAD sw as I have no longer access to MicroStation (used that about 15+ years). After seraching online, seems QCAD is a decent alternative and will give it a shot!

Now, my 1st question is, are these (or similar) drawing sheet templates available in metric units (A4-A0)?

If not, I wonder can these be "converted" to A4-Ax sizes easily? Pretty sure someone has done that already...


BR,
Timo

Hi Timo - welcome to the QCAD Forum

Now, my 1st question is, are these (or similar) drawing sheet templates available in metric units (A4-A0)?

I assume you are looking for something like this: viewtopic.php?f=51&t=2047

If I try to insert and explode these, they seem to crash my QCAD 3.25.2.0.

I'm using a Mac. I did this:

Unzipped the directory, Did QCadPro/Preferences/Widgets/LibraryBrowser, Add unzipped file path
Closed and Restarted QCAD
LibraryBrowser/ Navigated to the folder, drug the "ANSI A" into modelspace and placed it at 0,0
TX (to select the block)
XP (to explode) -- QCAD crashes out.

I tried this with ANSI E and it also crashed.

I tried again with the libraries/templates/metric/din_a3_m_landscape.dxf template from the distribution and I was able to eXPlode it into components as expected.

I was attempting to explode these ANSI templates this to see if I could access and edit the attributes, since the attributes didn't seem to show up under the entire, unexploded block.
