I found it -- "properties" -- right where it should be.

Scaling dotted lines

Is it possible to scale dashed lines? The choices seem to be dashed, dashed small, and dashed large. Frequently none of these options is right, given the size of the drawing. I've taken to using a different color (and layer) for hidden lines but it would be nice to be able to do this in the traditio...

How to determine an object's current attributes.

I'd like to know what I've set an object's line width to, as an example. When using the "attributes" dialog, I can change it or leave it the same but the drop-down gives me no clue as to what it currently is set to. I can't find any way to do this other than cut-and-try -- not very attractive. I sus...

QCad Professional and Wacom Bamboo Tablet

Since I've raised a bit of a stink about some things, I thought I'd start a thread on something which works pretty well. I'm running Linux, Mepis 8, AMD64 (Debian based). I bought a Wacom Bamboo tablet expecting to use it with QCad, but then read (somewhere in this forum) that QCad doesn't support t...

OK, I've solved my problem... The missing 32 bit module (libgthread-2.0.so.0) is in Debian package ia32-libs-gtk. Installation of this package solved the problem and help now works. In searching forum threads, looking for a solution, I found several where the author assumed that one could invoke the...

Ok, so I decided that I'd go ahead and pop for the professional, even if it is a 32-bit build. The application ran fine until I went for help -- nada. The faq told me to delete the ~/.assistant directory, I did, reloaded qcad-prof and again, nada. Now the message says that it can't find libgthread-2...

Thanks -- that worked.

But...

Now I need to decide if I want to run a 64 bit build of the free edition or a 32 bit build of the $ edition.

I guess I can't see why there isn't a 64 bit build since so many of us are now running MP 64 bit machines.

AMD64 bit

I am running Mepis 8 (AMD64), downloaded the community edition via the Debian package and all is well. I'd like to buy the professional edition. I've downloaded the demo and it fails to start up qcad_demo: error while loading shared libraries: libSM.so.6 ... no such file or directory That module is ...
