Is there s...

Re: [Solved] DXF import -- thick lines

Thank you very much. It appears this is related to an Imperial v. metric assumption, no? The scaling factor of (3/0.12) is 25 which is suspiciously close to the number of millimetres in an inch (25.4). Could it be possible to have a setting for importing DXF files that controls the default scale and...

[Solved] Text box -- text size

Hi: I don't understand the text box "Size: ___ inch". Through trial and error, I've found I need to set it to a very small value (like 0.004) or the text in the box is so large that it is positioned too far down in the text box to be visible. My unit of measure is decimal inches and the sc...
