Hi Dabbling Seer  
Just installed 3.33.1 after clearing the old files from the QCAD folder and everything worked as it should.  
Ruler showing normally.

Thanks for the heads up. I will give it a try after I finish off my drawing. For some reason I have issues using multiple views, it crashes. Maybe if I install the new version it won’t happen

I do have back ups but I have a lot to do and don’t have time to install it and set it all up again.

Save the QCAD3 file before uninstalling the current version.  
Once the new version is installed, just replace the new QCAD3 file with previously saved version.  
All settings will be as before.  
Work for me previously
