Hello,

Here under is what I got. Windows 10 QCAD Pro Version: 3.25.2.0 (3.25.2)


Can somebody explain me what are the Drawing Units and the Paper Units and how to use it.

For a straight horizontal line of 200 CAD units

Drawing Unit Paper Unit Scale Lengh as shown in Print preview
Centimeter Centimeter 1:1 20 cm
Millimeter Millimeter 1:1 20 cm
Millimeter Centimeter 1:1 2 cm
Centimeter Millimeter 1:1 200 cm


Sory for the page settings. The page is not shown as it is shown in "Preview" mode

Best regards

Drawing units are the units your drawing elements are in. A line with length 20 is 20cm if drawing units are cm or 20mm if drawing units are mm.

The paper units are used for paper size and print margins only (usually mm or inch).

All right. Thanks a lot.

As in the "Default for new darwings" "Printing page" the size of the page is given in mm, I fell that the Paper unit should be mm in all cases.

With that in mind, what I wrote is easy to understand.
