Hi I have the latest Qcad and I am using Windows7. What I would like to know is when I scale a 12" to 1ft drawing to 7mm to 1ft using 7(12*25.4) how can I save the same layers that I did in 12" to 7mm to 1ft? Also how do you get the measurement rulers in Metric as well?

Re: Copying drawings
Not sure I understand. Scaling should not do anything to your layers. Do you want to create a scaled copy on different layers or copy the scaled drawing to a new file or something similar?scot6puk wrote:how can I save the same layers that I did in 12" to 7mm to 1ft?
The ruler format is the same as the dimension format. You can adjust the dimension format unter Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimension Settings.scot6puk wrote:Also how do you get the measurement rulers in Metric as well?

Re: Copying drawings
Could it be that you have "use current attributes" enabled in the scale dialog? If so, try disabling it.
