Re: Old dog, new tricks

@ Clive, thanks for your concern about free tools. Your logic would indicate that the "QCAD Book" should also not cover these specific tools, since the book is sold for a profit. Both the Book and my Training Videos only benefit those who already have license to use the tools. Writing of Books and c...

Win7, QCAD V3.4.6 Get this error while using that file. I could suspect that folder security issues are a reason, but are there any other circumstances that would produce this error? Notice that when I copy the file to a new location, the errors stop.

autosave file location

Win7, Qcad V3.4.6 - I can find a fix FS#424 of 8Dec2011 but it does not describe the folder choice. The program Help and the Book do not mention this topic. So, what folder are the autosave files stored in with this version? Thanks

Now I am back to learn QCAD V3.4 and totally redo the training videos and make them much better. So I am basically a newbie to V3.4.6, although I have finished Lessons 1-15...

Re: Set Folder Locations

@Clive - In summary then, the "Open" and "Save As" are both independent of each other. They both remember the last folder you used them with. So I guess my question "can you change the default <Open> folder" is moot since it is always changed to the last folder used. Thanks

Re: Set Folder Locations

@Clive Thanks for your help. I am still confused because of the following: "Save As" -> c:\users\lynn "Open" -> c:\Program Files (X86)\QCAD\examples this is because I previously opened the flange file for printing.

Re: Stacked super/sub-scripts

Thanks, I didn't think of using the property editor to edit existing dimension labels. I forgot to mention that I would also like to do this using the text tool.
