Hello kevenr17,

well, there are a couple of different "workarounds" what I could imagine but to chose the right one depends always on the given situation.

Here is one thought - use just single letters to design your layout. Do you have 4 minutes ...?

Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.

Thanks J-J,

I was, like kevenr17, in the same situation and had to find an easy solution for this task. This is what I figured out for myself and my students ... 30 years ago ...
... and it's still working. e_surprised :lol: :wink:
