Re: Scale issue afetr upgrade to quadcam 3.15.5

Forget it - I realized I had a copy of qcad 3.16.7 (incorrect update a while ago) and it had the Edit-convert drawing unit.
All set

Re: Scale issue afetr upgrade to quadcam 3.15.5

To port your drawing, please proceed as follows:
- Load the drawing
- Edit > Convert Drawing Unit
There is no such command under the Menu-Edit in QuadCam 3.15.5.0

Re: Scale issue afetr upgrade to quadcam 3.15.5

OK, thanks for the explanation.
I did not want to convert if this was a transient issue.

Re: Issues adding Node to polyline

I am happy to give you something to work on e_surprised ! This is a pool design, I needed to make it 2 feet shorter, maintaining the end detail. My work around was to isolate the polylines one at a time on it's own layer, explode it, shorten the two long segments, then use modify -move/copy to recon...

Re: QCAD 3.12.6.0 Sluggish at times

I do have autosave turned on.
I'll try spreading them out to diagnose.

File is large because of embedded graphic.
Is 4.7MB a big dxf file?

QCAD 3.12.6.0 Sluggish at times

Running on openSUSE 13.2_64/KDE. Relatively fast, recent hardware. Plenty of RAM Stalls at times, System Monitor shows 1 core fully engaged (one of 8 core, 13% of total CPU) for long periods. Does QCAD not multi-thread? I have been doing a lot of in and out on the dxf file - perhaps some garbage han...

Re: How to Display Angles in Surveyor Format

Hmm, I agree with your observation What I was probably expecting, and might be a good enhancement, would ...
