Hi, and welcome to the QCAD forum
In your file there is a layer called "Defpoints" what is a system layer associated with printing.
This layer is set not plottable by default.
7 dimensions are placed on that layer.
One should not use this layer to draw on.
Without a selection R-Click In the layer list on the layer "Defpoints" and select all layer entities (Y+).
The command history should report '7 entities added to selection.'
The Property Editor would say that there are Aligned Dimensions (7) selected.
In the Property Editor change the layer of the selected from "Defpoints" to "0" and all should be fine.
may I remark that there are 23 duplicate lines in your drawing.
Mostly originating from where two cabinets touch and then we expect a double line.
But that does not explain up to 6 identical line segments.
One can verify how many with holding the Alt key and indicate a line to select.
If the selection is unique then it will be selected otherwise you get a list.
Regards,
CVH

Hi CVH
Thanks for solving my problem.
I have been searching for a 2d cad program that didn't cost a fortune, I reckon I have finally found the one to purchase.
Thanks again.
