QCAD Version: 3.27.3.0 (3.27.3)
More system info in txt and png file.
Attempting to draw a line has be come impossible as QCAD now insists on making it an infinite ray line whose direction is a center point at start point and next point determines angle.
in the sample dxf I wanted to draw a line from center out to center of small circles. I would have to trim that nor to make it correct.
[SOLVED] - Line from two points will only make an infinite ray line now.

Re: Line from two points will only make an infinite ray line now.
Hi,
LH is 'Line Horizontal'
When using LI have a look at your 'Option Bar'.
What drawing mode is selected?
Line Segment - Infinite Line - Ray ?

CVH

CVH - You are correct! Infinite line was selected . My PC likes to become too helpful with cursor navigation, I never selected that on purpose and never noticed it!
Thank you very much!
EDIT: BTW- I updated QCAD to the 3.27.5 first- the line type was still selected!

A standard update doesn't change your settings nor the last used states of most of the functions.
For that you need to 'reset your configuration' what is not adviced when there is nothing really wrong with it.

Yep, good to know. I wondered if I'd have to go through preferences AGAIN!
Thanks again!
