(solved) copy and paste scaling the entities

Post by mitch37 » Wed May 27, 2015 9:24 am

S.O. ubuntu 14.04
qcad 3.9.4
when I use copy and paste from icon or shortcuts (ctrl+c and ctrl+v) in the same drowing or between two drawing the entities paste scaled of 0.03. I use qcad in two computer (work and home) with the same S.O. and only one have this problem.

Please check the options tool bar when pasting. It allows you to scale, rotate, mirror entities while pasting:

Make sure that the scale factor is 1 or reset all options to default (1:1, no rotation, no mirroring) by clicking the reset button at the right.

Note: when copying / pasting between different drawings, the drawing unit is taken into account. I.e. copying a 10 unit long line from a drawing in Millimeters to a drawing in Centimeters results in a 1 unit long line.
