.INI files

Post by JonG » Wed May 17, 2017 9:07 pm

I'm new to QCAD3 PRO, also bought the training/videos from Learn QCAD.com, they keep referring to a file Qcad3.ini. I can't find this file anywhere, is this something that windows 10 no longer uses? I'm a little confused.
Any help out there.

Under newer Windows versions, it's likely under:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\QCAD\QCAD3.ini

Where <username> is your Windows user or login name.

Note that you might have to explicitly enable hidden items to see the AppData folder (View > Hidden Items in Windows Explorer). You also might want to enable file name extensions (View > File Name Extensions) to see the full name of files (i.e. QCAD3.ini).

Just wanted to let you know that Windows 10 had the hidden items turned off. Once I told windows to display the hidden files I could fine the missing .INI file. Fixed the file and all is well. Thanks for your help.
