![]() I hope that helps, and please don't hesitate to ask more questions when need be. There are companies such as who will do this via the internet if you wish. I do also recommend printing off and comb-binding the QCad manual. Now I find that I can use QCad as fast as a pencil and a ruler, so any concept sketching, I can get down in seconds. Also remember that QCad will always default to 1:1, so if you specify a line to be 1000mm (1 metre) it will be 1000mm, when your draw your dimensions.įWIW, I struggled with CADintosh, but my drafting ability was transformed once I discovered QCad. These preferences will also be saved in your template. Remember to also set up your drawing for millimetres or inches in the current drawing preferences. You can always save this file and name it 'my template' or whatever, so it can be opened next time you come to draw. However it is possible to create your own construction lines easily by creating a new layer, naming it 'construction lines' (I tend to use dot/ dash lines in yellow), then by using the line tool, set a length of say 10,000mm in whatever direction you choose (from the origin at 0,0- red cross) and lay down some construction lines from that. Yes, there are no provision for infinite construction lines, as you rightly point out. QCad is more like AutoCAD, and behaves in a very similar manner, however is far, far easier to use than ACAD, once you have mastered the tool palette. I get the impression that construction geometry within QCad is "draw a line a little longer then trim" concept. ![]()
