Hello, I'm new here

Post by MaxwellsEq » Mon Aug 22, 2022 7:07 pm

Hi all, I've just installed QCAD Pro after investigating a few alternatives. It seems to do what I was expecting. Over the years I've used a number of different tools to draw plans and at one stage ran a department which had a team using AutoCAD. I'm interested in gaining more skills in 2D and 3D modelling, rendering etc. I've got some building work coming up and decided this was a good time to get a bit more serious about 2D CAD and architecture.

Hello I an a retired engineer and contractor who is trying to draw a simple deck layout . I can not make the lines of a given length to show as that length when I put the arrows on them. I do not know how to share a screen shot but the border scale and the point to point measurement match but the dimension arrow is 10 times greater. I recently purchased quad since I was not sue the free version was adequate.
