I am having problems getting the scale function to work.
I am trying to follow the Qcad manual, the first two steps here:
"1. After starting the scale tool, the CAD toolbar shows the selection tools. Use them to select the entities you want to scale.
2. Click the right arrow button in the CAD toolbar to continue."
However, I am unable to start the scale tool before selecting the item I want to scale up.
I am obviously doing something wrong.
Can someone assist please?
edit:
Also, I am unable to find the "right arrow in the CAD toolbar to continue", as specified in step #3 in the Qcad manual.

Re: Difficulty using scale function.
Hello Jim0000 - welcome to the forum.
What Version do you use?
1. select what needs to be scaled
2. launch the "Scale" tool.
Well, I assume that you are using a 2.2 QCAD manual (2008?) on a 3.16.5 QCAD Version from 2017. Meanwhile there are many improvements and changes in QCAD ...Jim0000 wrote:I am obviously doing something wrong.

The right procedure in an actual QCAD Version is indeed:Jim0000 wrote:However, I am unable to start the scale tool before selecting the item I want to scale up.

Re: Difficulty using scale function.
Thanks for the reply Husky.
The version that I have installed and am using is 3.16.4
Have I been looking at the wrong manual? It appears that I have been. I will investigate further.
I will respond again later.
edit: I am having some trouble finding the correct manual. Can you post me a link please? I have one manual downloaded, but it is not identified anywhere that I can see.
Jim.
