Typo on QCAD website

Under the introduction Header, it starts with “Morphin”. It sounds kind of hip but I’m guessing that wasn’t the intention. :laughing:

Thanks!

Here are a couple more things:

  • I noticed on the FAQ page QCAD - FAQ, the second bullet under “Using QCAD”, it says “QCAD does not support paper spaces at this point.” Is this referring specifically to the community edition? Or is this from a time before paper spaces were supported? Or is this meaning paper spaces from another program can’t be imported?


  • This one is really trivial so I apologize in advance. I’m a teacher so I don’t think I can help it! In the Reference Manual entry for (De-)select Contour, the very last sentence says “Instead of using this tool, you can simply double-click and entity to select it and all connected entities”, rather than an.


  • This one is just my opinion… When I first started using QCAD I was hoping to find a way to copy all of my preferences over to another machine. I have a few machines I use it on (yes I’m the only one that ever uses it. :smiley: ) I looked on the website and didn’t see anything. Someone on the forum pointed me to the “reset your configuration” link under Troubleshooting in the tutorials section of the website. I would have never thought to look there because in my mind I wasn’t having a problem that needed troubleshooting. I don’t know how many other people use their license on more than one machine but I wondered if it might be helpful if this entry somehow was made more general, like “backing up, transferring, or resetting your configuration.”

I’m diving into all of this minutiae because I have lots of assignments to grade and I’m good at distracting myself!

If you copy the “QCAD.ini” file, that should do it…

that’s for WindowsOS, for Linux it’s the QCAD3.conf file found in .config/QCAD :wink: No idea about MacOS

MacOS=QCAD3.ini

I know how to copy the config file, thanks to someone that helped me on the forum a long time ago. The reason I mentioned it on this thread (site feedback) was as a suggestion that I thought might be helpful to others that were looking for the same thing by making their way through the qcad.org website. I just thought the entry on the website about “resetting your qcad config” could be broadened because I bet there are a few people out there that want to know how to transfer their config between machines or perhaps back it up and, like me, they may not think to find it in a spot that says “troubleshooting.” Either way it’s not a big deal because, like me, they could just pop into the forum and ask and there are a lot of helpful people in here :smiley:
