Hi Andrew, not sure if anyone else has already asked that question, but I have tons of SKF files from Autosketch. I assume there is no way to get them converted to dxf or dwg in an automated way? So the only way is to open them one by one in Autosketch and save them as dxf? Anyone else here in the b...

No, this style is not currently supported. Labels are placed on top of the dimension line (ISO) not at the center with a gap (ANSI).

I would like to get it with a gap (ANSI) as well. Maybe we will see this in the near future?

Thanks Husky. It is still slow on my system. Next year I get a new laptop and hopefully large files will not anymore slow QCAD a lot down. Still a bit strange for me to understand as I cannot see a bottleneck in the taskmanager while QCAD is working on this file - there is still free RAM available, ...

Hi together, I have an old drawing from Autosketch which I would like to use in QCAD. So I have saved it in Autosketch as DWG an opened it in QCAD. As it is in many bits and pieces I tried to make a block from it, but if I do so QCAD freezes. DCC_10_ATM.DWG I have attached the file - any ideas why? ...

If I get you right you are searching for CTRL+Shift+P which takes you to print preview and back as well.

Just tried it and yes, the property editor is a possible solution for this, thanks.

Hi,

I assume there is no possibility to add some additional informations in a symbol which I don't want to get visible in the drawing?
I thought of something like "standard delivery with 1 x 150, 1 x 100, 1 x 60 cm safety fences" - a simple textblock which could be visible in the properties editor.

Hi there, not something serious but a quite strange behaviour. If I untick in the general tool settings the delete function from the tool bar, than I can't delete somthing by pressing the delete button on the keyboard anymore, the ER shortcut still works. If I put a tick in the checkbox for the dele...

Hi Andrew, before you start to post more question and answers them yourself, I have a fresh one for you :mrgreen: When I draw something or take a library item and move it there is a red circle with a cross inside remaining on the old position. Is that just for some internal reasons or is there a ben...

Hi Barry,

but I assume you are aware of the adjustments for the auto snap in applicationm preferences? That helps a bit.
There is many bits and pieces different to Autosketch but after a couple of weeks intensive QCAD work I like it much more than Autosketch.

Yes, same behaviour on my installation. I have tried as well to change snap center and snap end to F2 and F3 and the first got lost after I made the second one. My next try was to add the two new shortcuts, I deleted them and added them again and after that both stayed, would be a workaround if that...

no bug. Works.
With this software you have done a really great job. I hope you are young enough to keep QCAD alive for many more years.

Bloody hell, never spotted that. I have been several times in that setting but only for modifiying the shortcuts.
Works well thanks.
That shows as well how powerful QCAD is.

Sorry, but I have seen that layer function and tried it. Still visible in print preview. At the moment I don't have a printer connected so I can't double check if it is still in the printout.
Hopefully I have not found a bug?

Hi, I really like the tool matrix and I use it in the icon view. Now there is many functions which I don't need and I would prefer to have it short enough that there is no scroll bar. Would be great if I could edit it to delete the functions I don't need and as well to sort them. The best would be t...
