Extracting Ansi A-E with block attributes
I found this zip file and it downloaded to the last opened folder under my documents. I was trying to unzip the templates to the QCad Library templates in the C:\program folder, but it says I don't have administrative rights so it won't unzip them. Can I not add these to the already existing Libraries, or do I have to store them in my documents drive. I thought I would put them in the QCad Library so I could easily access them in the "File, New From Template" pulldown.

Assuming you are on a Windows OS ...
Download the zip,
save it do your download folder,
extract the downloaded zip,
copy/move the extracted files to that QCAD folder, keep an eye on what belongs into the imperial or metric folder ...
Restart QCAD, check "New from Templates".

Yes, I forgot to mention I have windows 10. I unzipped files in the QCad folder in my documents where I store drawings. After I unzipped them I was able to copy them to the imperial templates under the C:programs\ QCad, and they showed up in the "File" menu after I exited and reopened QCad.
Not sure what the administrative message was about, it's my personal laptop and I'm the only one that uses it, so I assume I should have administrative rights to anywhere on the computer. I thought it was somehow tied to the zip file.
Thanks.
