Is there a title block template?

Do you have a question you want to ask an existing QCAD user about QCAD and what you can do with it? Do you want to know if a particular feature exists? This is the place to ask.

Is there a title block template?

Post by Damjo » Thu Jan 07, 2021 7:57 am

Hello.

Maybe a silly question but thought I'd ask.

Is there a setting or template in QCAD to add a title block or do we need to construct it ourselves?

Thanks in advance.

QCAD comes already with a bunch of title block templates. You can use them as is or change them to suit your needs.
You will find them in QCAD below Menu / File / New from Template ...

Ah thank you both.

Can I also get a quick sanity check? It's been a while since I've used CAD software :?

I need to work at a 1:100 scale for some floorplans (1 centimetre = 1 metre). What settings am I supposed to change in QCAD to reflect this? Is there a way I can have units of measurement displayed alongside units when I'm measuring?

There does not seem to be a "New from Template" option on my Mac version.
I am using QCAD 3.26.1.0 for macos 10.13.6.
By right clicking the QCAD application I can see that the templates are there.

The QCAD Community Edition comes without a "New from Template" option ... :wink:
