[solved] Block Problems

Post by kenterm » Mon Feb 12, 2018 7:01 am

I have been using QCAD for months without any problem with Blocks. Today I must have Fat Fingered something that started it. Any of my drawings, old or new, now have the same error. Rebooting QCAD make no difference.

The Problem....
1 - I create a Block (See attachment 1).
2 - I now attempt to insert the block into the drawing and the block displays upside down Except for the text, as in Attachment 2.
3 - I then double click on the Block name in the list and it displays correctly fgor editing purposes which hints that the Block is not corrupted, only displaying incorrectly.
4 - Please Help!! Thanks.

Ken





I am using QCAD Pro 3.19.2.0 [64-bit] & W7 [64-bit].

Keep an eye on the option bar which pops up when you insert a block.

If the option bar doesn't pops up please activate this feature below Menu / View / Toolbars and Widgets / Toolbars / Options
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.
If a thread is considered as "solved" please change the title of the first post to "[solved] Title..."
