QCAD.org Forum

Hi All.
I'm VERY new to QCAD and while I have succeeded once, I'm unable to recreate it.
I was advised to use QCAD as it takes both .DXF and .DWG formats as inputs and outputs - most of my drawings are .DXF and I'm needing some in .DWG format.

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS and I've installed the Community Edition of QCAD version 3.26.1.0
After installing I removed the "pro" modules as instructed in the right hand panel.

Could my initial success be related to not closing down and restarting QCAD?

Anyway, now when I try to save a new drawing I'm only offered
"R15 [2000/LT2000] DXF Drawing [dxflib"] (*.dxf)"
In the format drop down box of the save window (image attached)

And when I try to open the .DWG QCAD created for me from the recents list I get the message in the second attachment "No suitable Importer found. Please check file format and extension"

Am I doing something wrong or have I misunderstood what QCAD has to offer?

Many thanks in advance for your help

I've moved this topic to the appropriate QCAD Community Edition forum.

The QCAD CE only supports DXF.

Yes I went back and reread the offerings, my mistake.
Thank you for your prompt reply.
