Hi, new to QCAD software. Just started using QCAD version 3.30.1 on windows 10 pc. I have set drawing dimensions settings to Architectural units on both Application and Drawing Preferences with 0' 0" units. However, all of my dimensions appear as 0' 0; units. I have change settings and reapply them, but they continue to show the incorrect inch symbol. The inch symbol always appears as ; instead of ". A screenshot is attached below. Any suggestions how to correct this issue? Thank you.

Re: Dimension units does not match drawing preferences
Hi,
your Label font is "RomanP" which most likely has a Simicolon [;] instead of a Quote ["] symbol.
Change the Label font to Standard, Arial or what ever provides the correct set of symbols and test it again.

Re: Dimension units does not match drawing preferences
The glyph's for 0x0022 and 0x003b are indeed identical.
Nice catch.
