Dimensioning will not show inches, only millimeters

Post by TomOlds » Thu Feb 08, 2018 4:15 pm

I have used Qcad for several years and love it. Recently my old computer failed and I just bought a new copy of Qcad and installed it on my wife's computer. Windows system, 3.19.2 Pro Later today I will install it on my new computer, also windows.
I cannot get the program to dimension in inches although I have set my application preferences, and drawing preferences to inches.
Any ideas?

You might be looking for the dimension number format:
Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimension > Dimension Settings > Label Format
