Rotating and Scaling

Post by JulesB » Wed Jul 15, 2015 6:51 am

Hi :)

Is there any way of rotating an object in relation to another object using reference points? I used to do this all the time previously in autocad but can't seem to find this option in qcad. Can you only rotate an object if you know the numerical angle?, as this would make my current project very difficult.

In regards to scaling, can you scale an object against another object using reference points rather than having to enter a number?

Cheers.

Was just searching through the forums a bit more and found Husky's Rotate tutorial - thanks for that Husky!! :D
It was exactly what I was looking for in the rotate function.

Also applied same technique on the Scale tool, woohooo!
