Linetypes and Layers

Post by octopusbeak » Tue Jan 31, 2017 11:55 pm

Hello,

I just started using Qcad, having used autocad and librecad before. Everything is easy and intuitive except-


How do you modify linetypes individually? Do you have to create a new layer with a specified linetype each time you want to draw a line of different lineweight/linetype? I'm pretty sure I'm missing something.

I also am trying to figure out how to move lines and blocks from one layer to another, without cutting and pasting.

Thanks so much for your help. :D

SOLVED!

View > Property Editor

Or click Property Editor on the View Toolbar

I would delete this thread, but perhaps this will help someone else.
