Scaling 10-1

Post by Markavfcp » Mon Dec 15, 2025 3:54 pm

New to Qcad just wondering how I can scale a feature off a drawing and print it at 10-1! I’ve done and picked start point on layouts. Read something it’s in print preview mode but when I press print preview it says it’s not available! Bought Qcad professional today and never used one before on windows any help would be appreciated as I’ve spent hours getting no where

To print simply the whole drawing at any given scale, you can proceed as in our printing tutorial at:
https://qcad.org/en/tutorial-1-12-print ... df-export/

To print different parts of a drawing at different scales, add a drawing border, etc. you can use layouts and viewports:

Thanks for the response! I’ll see how I go but never used cad before and these drawings have been done on autocad light a few years ago!
