Windows vista, qcad 3.6.2
I can't see the grid. I experienced this with 3.6.0. I updated to 3.6.2 and the problem persists. I make sure that the grid button is activated. There is nothing in help but how to turn it on. unktim

Re: no grid
Hi unktim
It's difficult to know what the problem is without sitting beside you to look at your set up ... so a few questions first.
Do you have the same problem on your Ubuntu set up?
Have you carefully checked Application/Drawing preferences for the Grid set up?
What colour background are you using (Model space back ground colour) ?
What happens when you zoom out or in fully?

Do you have the same problem on your Ubuntu set up? Ans: I have never been able to install qcad or any other downloaded package on ubuntu.. I have tried UBU 12.04, 13.10, and 14.04
Have you carefully checked Application/Drawing preferences for the Grid set up? Ans: Yes
What colour background are you using (Model space back ground colour) ? Ans: White
What happens when you zoom out or in fully? Ans: I zoomed the entire spectrum and got nothing but white.

P.S. I bought qcad 3.6.0 and for a few days it worked fine, then, no visible grid. when I got notice that 3.6.2 was available I uninstalled 3.6.0 and installed 3.6.2 thinking that would fix it but the problem persists. unktim

Re: no grid
Hi Unktim,
C:\Users\your_profile\AppData\Roaming\QCAD\qcad.ini
Then restart QCAD, this will reset some of the default parameter (screen will likely have a black background). See what it does, your setup is preserved in the "old" file, and you can always do a line by line comparison with the newly created "ini" file to track possibles clues.
Good luck
When you perform an install with an update, the old QCAD.ini is used. To get a fresh start, close QCAD, go and rename your "qcad.ini" file to "qcad.old" for exampleI bought qcad 3.6.0 and for a few days it worked fine, then, no visible grid. when I got notice that 3.6.2 was available I uninstalled 3.6.0 and installed 3.6.2 thinking that would fix it but the problem persists.

Re: no grid
Clive,
I received my qcad disc in the mail so I uninstalled everything and installed it from disc. I have my grid back,however I can no longer find the 3.6.2 update.

Re: no grid
Okay, go to main menu > help > Check for QCAD pro updates. You will need to log into your personal customer area and download it.
When you download updates you can save them to a new folder on your desktop.
Let us know how you get on.

Re: no grid
Good, glad you are back on track again. It is worth taking note of J-J's advice, this is the correct way to achieve a good install of an update in QCAD.
