Moving dimensions with objects

Post by tjrw » Wed Jul 22, 2020 2:05 pm

I'm new to QCAD - so far it's great, found my way around quite easily (previously used DraftSight - QCAD significantly easier/better).
One frustration - if I have a e.g. a line with a dimension and then move or extend the line, the dimension doesn't move or adjust with it.
Is this how it is or am I missing something??
Thanks!

Hi,
The dimension and the measured part are two distinct entities.
Select the dimension.
Each reference point can de reset, dragged or whatever.

Maybe 'Stretch' can help you when altering parts of a drawing.
