Re: Duplicating layers - is this normal?
Hi Andrew. You are (of course) right. I didn't realise that "Duplicating (YY)" a layer means also duplicating the contents of that layer! (Yes the "clue" is in the name)! If I switch visibility of the new layer "off" then it does indeed show the other layer. Lesson learned. To be fair, I called it a...

Version: 3.24.3.0 (3.24.3) Mac 10.15.4 Hi Andrew, I have a drawing with 15 - 20 layers - I noticed a "feature" duplicating layers. To see the "feature" - draw a line on a new layer and duplicate the layer changing the colour: 1. Start QCAD; 2. Create a new drawing; 3. Draw a reference box using laye...

Hi Husky A CAD drawing (picture) is certainly worth a thousand words (vectors). Here is my first "real" drawing, produced with QCAD Pro after reading a good "chunk" of the (excellent) QCAD book - so don't be too critical!

How can I divide a rectangle unevenly
I'm new to QCAD Pro and my general CAD knowledge is limited... I want to fill simple 2D drawings for a top and side view of a bowl with segments and slices, adding to the side view, unequal dividers using a script (or otherwise). I have a drawing of a segmented bowl that has a 2D top view that appea...
