Can I change grid to 1/8, 1/4 inch etc instead of tenths

Post by jocpo » Fri Jan 21, 2022 5:02 pm

Is there anyway to change the grid from 1/10 of an inch to decimals of 1/8 of an inch? I don't work in tenths of an inch I work in fractions of an inch - 1/16 etc. So I'd rather put the scale in say 1/4 inch or 1/8 inch grids. (macOS Monterey)

Also, can this be done in the 32bit QCAD versions? (macOS Mojave)

The ruler is ok. I want the GRID to be in 1/8, 1/4 or 1inch depending on window.

jopco,
have a look at the Grid section in the same location.
- Drawing preferences
- Application Preferences ... New drawings

Doesn't the grid follow the ruler?
For me that is set to auto, I am not a fractional user.
I also know there is an issue with that ...
