....................................
Do you have now all info's for this little test?

Yes, I think so.
Thanks.
I'll try it today.

....................... Ok, please let us do a last test: Open QCAD CE, toggle the visibility of the "Status Bar" (Menu/View/Status Bar) which will be displayed at the bottom of the Model_Space. Remember the new Status (Visible or invisible), close QCAD CE, launch QCAD CE again. Will QCAD Start wit...

......................... It will be created with the first start of QCAD and should then be below: ~/.config/QCAD/QCAD3.conf

Yes. File not found, as I said above.

Jim.

What can I try next please? ................................ 3. Reset the QCAD Configuration: https://qcad.org/en/tutorial-resetting-the-qcad-configuration Thanks again Husky. I satisfied points # 1 & 2 - all confirmed. Removed and re-installed the correct file again. However, I could not find the ...

I get the same result after a removal and re-installation of Qcad.

What can I try next please?

I have tried changing it in both "Drawing Preferences" and "Application Preferences" without success. You are only able to change the Background color within "Application Preferences". If that doesn't works then I would recommend to de-install / new instal QCAD. Assumably the less Headaches route ....

I have installed Qcad into my laptop computer. Using Linux Mint 19 I removed the plugins to retain only the community version. I have done this before on both my desktop computers successfully. All good, except that I now cannot change the page background colour. I have tried changing it in both "Dr...

Could be Linux Mint 19. What version are you running? Regards, CVH Thanks for the reply CVH. However, I have solved the problem. For the record, I am running Qcad version 3.22.1 Linux always receives suspicion for what most times is found to be operator error/ignorance (as in this case), or some pr...

No problem with Win10 .... This happens only with a specific text font or with all offered text fonts? I will investigate further with hope I can answer that. Thanks for the reply Husky. I just tried a couple more fonts with the same result. If I adjust the font in the top right tool bar, it works ...

I have experienced this problem for some time now. Whenever trying to add text to a drawing, the system freezes up. I am using Linux Mint 19. Is there something I am not doing or doing wrong that can address this problem? Or is this a known general problem that can be fixed otherwise? Please advise,...

Thanks Andrew. Apologies for the late reply.
How do I enable an "automatic update" please?

I found that; it seems that is all it was. The scale was defaulting to something other than 1:1.
I expect to be able to avoid the problem in future.
Thanks again Husky.

Please check the "Linear Factor" for each dim within the Property Editor. They are identical? No, they were not identical. I changed the larger one back to 1 (both are 1 not) and that fixed the problem. Thanks. However, when I draw in another dimension, it defaults back to the same situation. I hav...

I went back to a previous drawing and planned to scale the airfoil section in it to a new size.
The dimensions of the archived drawing and the new dimensions differed wildly, with no apparent relationship.
Why is this happening?
What can I do to correct it?
Screenshot attached.

Will that bring light into the dark ... ?

I am sure it will Husky. Thanks again.
I have never used co-ordinates. That is why, no doubt, I did not know.
I will try following your example later on.

Jim.
