Cannot Resize Application Window

Post by andrew » Fri Feb 13, 2015 9:01 am

From a QCAD user:
My screen is 1366 x 768. The QCAD application window is too tall and I cannot adjust its height.

You should be able to resize the windows if you close or rearrange some of the dockable widgets at the right (layer list, block list, property editor, etc).

You can for example move them on top of each other to create a tabbed look:

If you are using the free trial version, a dockable widget with trial version information is shown which cannot be closed. However, you can still use the tabbed look as shown above.

Thanks. The major part of the problem was the un-dockable tab in the free version. Once it is no longer there the problem went away.
