I have been using QCad for about 3 years, really love the simplicity of it. I recently added a second monitor as I am operating from a laptop and wanted a bigger screen. For some reason, after working on it a few months, I lost the Windows border around the desktop and now I cannot minimize it to move it the other monitor. As that was the reason for getting the added monitor, I have gained little. Anyone know how to get back to having the ability to make the QCAD display smaller to be able to move it?
TIA, Jim

Re: Version 3.27.1 Window sizing issue
Hi, and welcome to the QCAD forum.
You probably entered Full Screen mode by hitting F11 or by menu Window .. Full Screen.
Try hitting F11 again or attempt it via the menu.
Another option is to edit your QCAD.ini configuration file in direct.
- Close QCAD
- Look for the header [Appearance]
- FullScreen=false & Maximized=false
- Save the config file and restart QCAD
