Downloaded: qcadcam-3.26.4-trial-win64-installer
Version: 3.26.4.0 (3.26.4)
Removed all the files suggested for the trial version.
Running on Windows 10 version: 21H1
No matter how I try to use "offset" it does not offset, instead it draws a line from the line I pick to offset and the length I enter.
Any ideas?

Re: Offset not working
Note that removing those files (plugins) leaves you with the free community edition, not a trial version.
You can find the instructions for the offset tool at:
https://qcad.org/doc/qcad/latest/refere ... /OffsetPro
Note that offsetting whole contours is part of QCAD Professional (i.e. without removing any files from the installation).

Thank you for the reply andrew.
Yes I realize I'm now running the free community edition, guess I should have mentioned that, my bad.
Thanks for the link to the offset directions. I had found that before and tried following it. My old half blind eyes didn't notice the option bar on top to type the offset distance. I was trying to do as in AutoCAD and enter in the command line, it didn't like that. Once I found the option box on top and typed the distance it worked. Sorry I didn't reply back this morning after I figured it out.
This old dog needs to learn a few new tricks LOL.

Like drafting my projects, refuse to pay Autodesk a yearly fee for AutoCAD.
