Can I install and use QCAD on a portable medium such as a USB stick and run it on different computers without needing to install it or change the configuration of those computers?

Re: QCAD Portable
Yes, QCAD has a -config command line switch which allows you to specify the location where configuration files are stored. Let's say QCAD is installed on a USB stick with drive letter "F" under a Windows system. You can start your QCAD for example like this:
You could also create a shortcut or a batch file on the USB stick that launches QCAD like this automatically. Note that the drive letter is likely different on another Windows machine though.
Code: Select all
F:\QCAD\qcad.exe -config F:\config
