Hi Ozocker87 - welcome to the forum.

How can I set the decimal separator to a comma for dimensions?

Hiya Husky. Thanks for the reply, mate. The method you've described seems to alter the way you enter co-ords in the command box, but not how the numbers on dimensions are displayed.

EDIT: I should clarify that it's the dimension labels I'm trying to alter, not the input method.

Hello Ozocker87
Do you need to work with a metric set up or an imperial set up. Working with comma's usually dictates an imperial set up.

Drawing units and Measurement System can be changed in the Application preferences (changes that affect all new drawings) or Drawing Preferences (for current drawing only) dialogs.

I guess if you want to make a 'one off' change (...and I'm guessing this would not be the case!) you could change the label properties for a selected dimension using the property editor!

Hi Ozocker87,

could you please give us some kind of example what you have in QCAD and what your goal is to achieve in QCAD. Thanks.
