in the lower right corner of the drawing there is a group of numbers. How does one change them? They are obviously some sort of scale but every one of my drawings has a different set of numbers! they range from 10<100 to 8'4"<83'4". When I open a drawing and try to bring in another they are differen...

THANK YOU!!! That solved the problem.
Is this typical of CAD programs or something unique to Q CAD? I come from a graphics background ( Corel) and this is a different approach

I am sure I am missing something basic but I have multiple drawings that when I try and open each in a new drawing the scale is VERY different. the one thing I notice is the "Meta grid" data at the bottom is different for each file. in one case 10" <8'-4" the other is 0.1< 1 Almost all of my drawing...

I have 4 drawings that I want to combine into one. I want each part on a separate layer. When I open each drawing on the " 0" layer I can manipulate it and explode it. If I create a new layer and open the drawing in it and try to explode it it disappears. I am sure it is something I am doing ( or no...

It appears the problem is with the file itself. This file is an import from another program and obviously it doesn't convert 100%. Re-drawn in Q CAD and all is well
Re-install was from MSI.

The previous install was uninstalled in Windows and then registry swept with CC Cleaner to remove all...

It is stuck at .125.The attached drawing has the dimension in both red and green. Green is how it is measured. Red is after exploding and then changing test si...

Thanks for the explanation on the file saving. That solved that issue.
"Defpoints " solved the other issues with other programs being able to see it.

THANK YOU!

Currently using .the Community Edition in Windows 7 Pro. If I can get what I need from that, I will upgrade to Pro. Computer is a graphics work station and had no problems with 3D Corel rendering. According to Solid Works " all DXF And DWG formats". The issue is with Q CAD. I get this message when I...

Thanks! So far it has been fairly straight forward. :D My only issue is when I try and save a file I get the message: File format version you are using is not recommended. ( Pick what ever format you want) all black layers will be saved as white. All custom colors will be "rounded" to the nearest fi...

I am new to CAD software but have extensive experience with Corel Draw. It will be interesting to see how easy it is to adapt.
My primary interest is in designing small parts for custom/ performance cars ( Hobby)
