Can I Move and type distance
I use Autodesk ACAD Electrical at work and with that I can grab a line and start to move it then type the distance on the keyboard to move a specified amount. Is this possible with QCAD? Or how do I draw a line a specific length without depending on grid snaps?
Re: Can I Move and type distance
Sure - there are a bunch of possibilities to do that ...
One could be:
select the line,
launch the move/copy tool,
chose a reference point (doesn't matter where in this case),
launch the coordinate tool,
an option bar will pop up,
fill in the values for X and Y - confirm with the green arrow at the right side of the option bar,
chose the option in the dialog window which suits your needs,
confirm with OK - done.
Alternative: You can use the mouse, the command line or the arrow keys on your keyboard to move selected entities.
