Paste enlarges objects x50 and rotates 45 deg

Post by hawaiianivan » Thu Aug 21, 2014 6:41 pm

I can't work out how to register a bug on bug tracker, hopefully this forum will suffice.

I am running QCAD 3.6.3 on OSX 10.9.4 on a Mac Mini. When I cut and paste any object, it is pasted at 50x and 45 deg - weird. It effectively means I can't use clipboard functions for now. Any ideas on that?

In radio 2 fashion I have to say - QCAD is great program.

Please check the options toolbar when pasting to make sure the scale factor is 1 and the rotation is 0:

You can also click the button at the right to quickly reset all settings to defaults (factor 1, rotation 0, no flipping).

Using the options toolbar, you can scale, rotate or flip entities while pasting.
