The undo stack is either getting corrupted or multiple operations are getting coalesced into one undo operation by Trim Both

Can't reproduce that behavior on a Win10 OS. All Undoes are working step by step as expected ...

Change the Arrow size to a practical size like 3.5 instead of 50. Menu / Edit / Drawing Preferences / Dimension Settings Next: Block List, select "Roof Detail", launch "Edit content of selected block", use the "Selection Filter" to search and select (Icon "Replace the current selection") all "Leader...

Leader arrows are removed if the arrow size is smaller than half the length of the first leader segment that is hosting the leader. This is a DXF/DWG format restriction. I'm not sure that I fully understand your reply about the arrow size Andrew but I attach a stripped down version of the drawing i...

Hello, right now there is no such a function in QCAD which will create a "Bill of Material" for you. Nevertheless - QCAD comes with a script called "Export Blocklist" which will produce a *.csv text file which could be used to create (with the help of MS-Excel or a similar program) a Bill of Materia...

In each case, the lines seem to maintain symmetry about its midpoint. Yes, that seems right. But I can't figure out what the rule is behind that. Is the center a fixed dot, dash or a gap? Or maybe the end of the line is a fixed dot, dash or gap. In this example - should not at least the center or t...

QUESTION: How do I activate the Pro Version?

You can't convert a Trial into a Pro. Just de-install the trial and install instead the Pro.

Is the test (screenshot) done with the Linetype Center 2x?

After looking at it I realized that it appears the centerlines adjust themselves to maintain symmetry from end to end. I don't think so - but maybe I see it wrong ... :oops: My understanding is the line has a fixed definition. Something like this: *DASHDOTX2,Dash dot (2x) ____ . ____ . ____ . ___ A...

Hi Cliff - welcome to the QCAD forum, ... but when I print I am just getting a blank page. More importantly, when I export to PDF I also get a blank page, Sounds like you need to reposition the paper position. Please refer to this tutorials and I'm pretty sure it will be an easy fix for you: https:/...

Lucky you! I think a neighbor of you has a good solution for your problem :shock: John Hyslop, a member of this forum, created a hatch pattern tool which can do exactly what you are looking for. The tool is called: "Free Stand Alone Basic Hatch Pattern Tool" ... Husky-2021.02.28-06.png ... and can b...

Is it possible in Qcad PRO to automatically generate/draw a break/interruption line like this ?

No, not to my knowledge. I think petevick suggestion is the best way to go ...

With the Counter (C12) tool ...
Menu / Misc / Draw / Counter

Create a block with this square,
select the block, chose insert,
chose in the option bar "Array of Blocks",
answer the questions in the dialog, ok, place the array in your Model_Space - done.

I think that chamfer set with a zero chamfer distance causes a zero length object. Does trimming lines cause zero length objects? Never noticed ... I myself have so few problems with zero entities that I couldn't even say what caused them. Most of the time I see them in drawings that have been impo...

So far I have had to work through the process of setting the order from start to finish, without making a mistake, and if I make a mistake I have to start from the beginning again; my question is, can I resume reordering from a mid point, or do I have to look for another solution? Ok, I tested it a...
