Dear Sir,
I did a small drawing with a few dimensions on QCad-pro 2.2.2.0 for linux. Everything went fine.
Then I saved my drawing and quit QCad.
When I open the drawing again, all dimension value (the text over the arrow) had disappeared!!!
I thought my file got a problem, so I launched QCad on windows_XP and actually all the text on dimensions were here. Then the file is alright.
Would you please tell me what is going wrong on my linux QCad and point out any workaround?
Thank you for answering.
Best regards.
Stephane

Thank you for so fast answering.
When I launch Qcad with:
Qcad displays text on dimensions as expected. Exactly what you are saying on your faq #11.
However, I thought that adding to my PATH variable the path of qcad would do the same. Here is a part of my ~/.profile:
Then I can launch directly qcad from my home directory with:
But the text on dimensions are NOT displayed in this case.
Would you mind telling me what am I doing wrong with my PATH variable?
Thank you
Stephane

Eventually I added the following alias in my ~/.profile:
Which gives the expected results:
- launch qcad from my home directory.
- qcad knows where its ressources (fonts, etc...) are.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards.

Code: Select all
~$ vi ./profile

alias qcad='/usr/local/qcad/qcad-2.2.2.0-1-prof.linux.x86/qcad'
