Decimal separator shows as question mark

From a QCAD user:
In a loaded drawing, the decimal separator in dimension labels is shown as a question mark ("?") instead of a point (".").

You can configure the decimal point for each drawing under:

Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimension > Dimension Settings > Decimal Separator

Your drawing has this likely configured to a character that is not available in the QCAD standard font.

Alternatively, you can change the dimension label font under:

Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimension > Dimension Settings > Label Font

If you cannot solve your problem, please attach or e-mail your drawing (DXF or DWG file).
