Hi,

long story short: That drawing is a challenge. Maybe the converter program messed it up but I'm not sure about it.

Howsoever - you can bring it back to a working condition with QCAD. Is this what you are looking for?

Or how do I draw a line a specific length without depending on grid snaps?

Launch a line tool and use the option box to fill in the specific length of the line.

I use Autodesk ACAD Electrical at work and with that I can grab a line and start to move it then type the distance on the keyboard to move a specified amount. Is this possible with QCAD? Sure - there are a bunch of possibilities to do that ... One could be: select the line, launch the move/copy too...

That is pretty straight forward .. :wink: You can order your copy within the QCAD Shop ... https://www.qcad.org/en/online-shop?cur=USD ... and just follow the instructions.

Discovered that if I select an exploded entity, that if it is white, it is duplicated.

If you suspect overlapping entities you can use the alt key and a left mouse click to see and select them.

It is never handy to select several hundreds or thousands of entities one by one.

I cleaned the drawing - yes, I think you already know why. ...

Oh ja Du hast ja so Recht! Ich habe mich in diesem internationalen Forum tatsächlich mit der deutschen und der englischen Bezeichnung verzettelt und Dir eine falsche Werkzeugbezeichnung gegeben! Findest Du selber heraus wie es richtig lauten muss?

Fact is: - it isn't currently part of QCAD Pro, I'm absolutely sure there is a reason for that, - a feature request exist, - we have a workaround for a permanent (...

I had some dificulty because I use Community edition. Sorry for that - I missed the fact and referred to Pro. My bad! :oops: :oops: :oops: I hope to buy professional edition soon, but I am afraid to buy from internet. I'm afraid to say that there is properly no other way for you than the internet.
