[solved] info on Create New Drawing from Template dialog

Post by clyde515 » Mon Oct 25, 2021 6:40 pm

Where does the information displayed in the "Create New Drawing from Template" dialog box come from (see attached PNG?)

I created my own template folder and created my own template by modifying one of the stock templates and gave the new template a new name "asci_a_inch_landscape.dwg."

The template seems to work correctly. I verified by creating a new document from the original template and one using my new template. The units, dimensions, paper type and page orientation all set correctly. But, not all of the information displayed in the left side of the dialog box is correct and page orientation on the right side of the dialog box is missing. Is there something I didn't do correctly? Is this something I can fix myself?

macOS Big Sir 11.6, QCAD Pro 3.26.4.0 (3.26.4)

You're sure about that? Your page border is 420" by 297"! I would like to see your printer .... :wink:

Yes! You need to tell QCAD where to find that folder. You can do that in Application Preferences ...

Hmm, I don't know how my room full of monkeys missed that. All fixed.
