Re: Best file format for saving drawings
After reading the article Husky posted and the other posts, I'd venture a guess that DXF is the best format to use. :wink: That is the format I have been using. I was just wondering as a few of my files have grown to more than a mega-byte in size, but as Husky pointed out, disk space is cheap and th...

Best file format for saving drawings
I know that the format can be dictated by the use of the file, but I was wondering what format others like/dislike to use and why as QCAD supports multiple formats. The DWG format is about 15% of the size of the DXF for the file on which I am working, so I will be inclined to use it for space saving...

Interface problem on Ubuntu 9.04
This problem occurs the same on all of my computers, Dell 1501 laptop, Intel DG35EC & DG31GL motherboards. All with up-to-date Ubuntu 9.04. I made a fresh install on the DG31GL, thinking that the problem would go away. It persists on the new install. This problem started at some point after upgradin...

Andrew, I've used this feature in another CAD program to tryout multiple furniture arrangements. A print with the furniture rotated to the proper orientation in an office layout is more easily understood. In that context of using CAD, freehand rotation would be very suitable. The other program utili...

Thanks, Andrew. I see what is going on, now. The angle is not relative to my start point. I started with a line going from lower left to upper right. I wanted an arc with a center 1235 to the upper left of that line. I understand now that the resulting arc is relative to QCAD's zero line, not the an...
