[solved] Copy & Paste changing size/scale

Post by Rob Martin » Wed Nov 20, 2024 4:24 am

Hi,
I have been using QCad to draw a property and basic home/shed layouts.
I was able to copy and paste components and text on the various drawings. Now it will copy and paste but at a very small size. For example text copied at 500 height (Very large property drawn at 1:1) will paste at height 4.665. Similar issue for copying features such as brick pillars etc.

I am sure I've accidentally changed a setting etc?

Any help appreciated
Rob

Hi,

when you trigger "Paste" an option bar pops up usually at the top of your drawing area.
In this Option bar you will find a scale option which should be set to 1 or 1:1.
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
QcadPro, QcadCam, Win11/64, 64GB RAM, 10-Core, SSD
If a thread is considered as "solved" pls. change the title of the 1. post to "[solved] Title..."
