Inch dimension markers in row/column fields ?

Post by Markz » Sat Jan 30, 2021 6:40 pm

Am I right that the only way to make a row/column array in QCAD is with the block properties?

In the block properties, the row/column indicators are populated by inch dimension marks. I think this is a bug, but perhaps they have some other use?

If I recall that correctly that was a bug in a previos QCAD Version. It was fixed!

Thanks. I can't reproduce that with a QCAD 3.25.2.0 version on a Win10 OS. Could you post the file (dxf) too? Thanks.

I just produced that example on the fly, so I don't think it has anything to do with the drawing per se. But, for what it's worth, I've recreated the example and attached.

If I boot into Windows later, I'll try the test there to see whether it's different.

Thanks!

It is a combination of settings. This effect was only shown when the dim settings are adjusted to Architectural or Engineering and the Drawing Unit is Inch. That is why I have ask for the drawing. :wink:

As I said - this bug is already fixed. Please download the newest snapshot (3.25.2.9) of QCAD or wait for the next stable QCAD version.

Note: Snapshots are packages with the current development version of QCAD. Snapshots should be considered unstable and are not intended for production use.
