I just bought and installed QCAD Pro 3.17.3.0 on Windows 10. I had to use the 32-bit version of QCAD because the 64-bit version crashes when I try to open a file. Otherwise, I love this product. Reminds me of my days as an Engineer. Spent many years on CAD.
Anyway, I opened an existing dxf file I had made in another CAD program (LibreCAD). All the dimensions have a ? in place of the decimal. For example, 1.125 is displayed as 1?125.
I've tried the drawing preferences and application preferences, but nothing seems to change the decimals to display correctly. Drawing a new dimension also displays the decimal as ?.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks.

Re: Decimals Displayed as Question Marks on Drawing
The preference to change the decimal separator is:
Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimension > Dimension Settings > Decimal separator
If you cannot get it to work, please:
- attach original drawing files (DXF, DWG, ...) if appropriate
- include screenshots if appropriate

Thanks for the information. I was to resolve the problem by saving the drawing as an R14 dxf.
