[solved] Dimension line scale options seem to be missing

Post by Feidhlim » Wed Feb 14, 2024 1:47 pm

Hi,

With an older version of QCAD there was a "scale:" bar in the Property Editor. That seems to be missing. Thus when I double my drawing size to fit a space; I no longer have the option to adjust the scale to 0.5 to compensate and keep my dimension line measurements accurate. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is it a glitch? Many thanks, Feidhlim

OS is Mac OS, version 14.1.2.
QCAD is 3.29.4

I'm unaware of such a glitch. Perhaps the scale is still there but you might have arranged the toolbars in such a way that it is no longer visible? A screenshot might help to solve the problem.

That would be great if it was just something that I'm not seeing...
Here's the screenshot, attached.

"Overall Scale" changes the size of the text; but does not amend the number to the value needed.

Thanks

Ah! Found it! It's called "Linear Measurement Factor", in the Property Editor menu.

:-)
