Where are the digits on the rulers?
I have rulers turned on but they do not show any digits...all I see are tick marks...how do I get numbers to display so I know where my cursor is as I create objects? I move the mouse around the canvas but I don't any X,Y display telling me where I am on my canvas.
Re: Where are the digits on the rulers?
Your drawing most likely uses an invalid unit / unit format combination. For example unit "Millimeter" and label format "Engineering" or "Architectural". Please adjust your drawing unit and label format under:
Edit > Drawing Preferences > General > Drawing Unit
Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimension > Dimension Settings > Label Format > Linear Dimensions
Edit > Drawing Preferences > General > Drawing Unit
Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimension > Dimension Settings > Label Format > Linear Dimensions
Re: Where are the digits on the rulers?
I also have the rulers turned on, drawing unit is millimeter, label format decimal and I don't have neither the ticks nor digits in the scale, just the triangular cursors.
Re: Where are the digits on the rulers?
Please make sure that you check / modify the drawing preferences under Edit > Drawing Preferences (NOT the application preferences). Drawing preferences are for the current drawing, application preferences are default for new drawings and affect only newly created drawings.
If you cannot solve your problem, please attach your drawing file.

Re: Where are the digits on the rulers?
I can confirm that the rulers are broken for your combination of preferences. The easiest workaround is to use default (and recommended) grid settings:
Edit > Application Preferences > Graphics View > Grid > [x] Automatically scale grid and [x] Automatically scale meta grid

Thanks Andrew.
Could you pls take a look at my other question (Secondary Cursor), still without reply?
Don't get me wrong, as a long time user of the old AutoSketch, I am loving QCAd.
