Problem using scale
Posted: Tue Feb 15, 2011 12:11 am
I use QCAD V2.2.2.0 - Demo
I was easily able to create an object consisting of 4 arcs and 1 line and mirror this to have my full object. All lines I talk about are in layer 0.
However I do need several versions of this object - all slightly different in size. So I decided to use the scale feature. This works well as long as I use 'Keep proportions'.
However as soon as I try to scale x by 0.9 and y by 1.1 only the 2 lines get scaled and copied.
Am I really so unlucky to stumble with my first drawing over a bug or am I just making a mistake? Any idea for a workaround? .DXF available upon request.
I made a block out of my object, but a block only has one scale factor. So this does not help as well.
Except for this problem QCAD would idealy suit my needs (at least if my final output can be processed by a laser cuting machine) without being too complicated
