scaling in qcad
I'm sure it's out there somewhere and i'm not finding it. How do I go about resizing an entire file in qcad? my example would be if I have a design that imported as a dxf from inkscape at 1.5" but I need it to be 20" in qcad. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me or steer me in the right direction.

Re: scaling in qcad
Why not scale it in Inkscape then export it as a DXF and import it in Qcad.
Set Inkscape to be in inches and then in the top menu there is a place it displays dimensions and there is a lock icon. If you change it to a closed lock and change one dimension (height or width) it holds the aspect ratio so they both change.

Re: scaling in qcad
Select what you want scaled, go to modify/scale.
It will ask for a point about which you want to scale it.
Then enter the scale factor.
