dwg are opened but are missing things

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.

dwg are opened but are missing things

Post by digilef » Sun Oct 03, 2021 6:53 pm

Hello and thanks in advance for your help !

I ma trying to find an autocad alternative mainly just to open and do main things dwg like measure things for just supervising reasons. So instead of using cracked versions i decided to use a proper bought one like qcad. So i am at the face of testing the trial version.

I tryed to open some dwg's but i am facing the problem that this dwg are opened but with missing layers. All the layers are open at the dwg but i suppose that this dwg "calls" other dwg also . All of them are at the same folder like the one that i open .
Do i have to do something else in order to see all the information ?

I am not an experienced autocad user either ! Thanks a lot for your help !

Missing layer? You're sure about that?

Anyway ... QCAD supports links to extern bitmaps but the current version doesn't support links to external drawings like dwg, dxf etc.

You used a QCAD setting what is called "Auto zoom on load".

Auto zoom will zoom to everything in your drawing! Auto zoom on load will find EVERYTHING in a drawing even if it is only a lost point or forgotten leftovers. Clean the drawing from those unwanted entity's and Auto zoom will work like expected :wink:

What is the version that supports that ?

An idea could be to Select All (TA).
Reference markers have a fixed pixel size opposed to entities that might be to tiny to display.
I have seen block reference markers that were way of center of things. :wink:

Once you know where about such extreme reference points are, it is a matter of isolating one. 8)
