I went back to a previous drawing and planned to scale the airfoil section in it to a new size.
The dimensions of the archived drawing and the new dimensions differed wildly, with no apparent relationship.
Why is this happening?
What can I do to correct it?

Re: Dimension abberation mystery.
Please check the "Linear Factor" for each dim within the Property Editor. They are identical?

Re: Dimension abberation mystery.
No, they were not identical. I changed the larger one back to 1 (both are 1 not) and that fixed the problem.
Thanks.
However, when I draw in another dimension, it defaults back to the same situation. I have to keep changing the linear factor back to 1.
Why is that?
Jim.
Re: Dimension abberation mystery.
When you launch a dim tool keep an eye on the dim option bar. On the right side is the possibility to choose a scale (Linear Factor) for the dim. In your case it needs to be 1:1.
Note: QCAD will remember the scale setting which means it will keep the last setting until you change it.

Re: Dimension abberation mystery. (solved).
I found that; it seems that is all it was. The scale was defaulting to something other than 1:1.
I expect to be able to avoid the problem in future.
Thanks again Husky.
