[solved] Options Toolbar keeps appearing even when switched off

Post by haeleng » Sun Aug 26, 2018 7:59 pm

Hi I,m using Windows 10 with Qcad Professional 3.21.2
I have an issue with the Options toolbar, which I do not had before.
When I switch off the options toolbar via Right mouse click Toolbars - Options, the optons toolbar goes away.
However every time when I select a command from one of the toolbars or open a file, the Toolbar - Option is activated again.
This behavior is anoying, because the option Toolbar uses a lot of space on the active screen, due to the square on the left see attached picture.
How can I hide the option toolbar constantly.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I can't see an Option-bar on your screenshot. If you meant the big symbol on the left side with the Mouse Pointer that is an "Active Tool" indicator.

However - the size of that symbol is way to big.
1. Did you changed the Icon Size below Application Preferences?
2. Did you mixed multiple QCAD Versions in the same directory?

Hi,

I just started Qcad and did not changed anything.
How to change the size of this big symbol, 'active tool' indicator.
The option toolbar keeps on coming back, even when I switch it off.
Other toolbars like view, edit, snap, are not coming back.
So what can I do?

Ok, then try a QCAD reset. Rename the qcad3.ini or if you prefer to delete it go ahead but don't empty the recycle bin - just in case.

Instructions how to reset QCAD can be find here:
