Hi,

I just downloaded LibreCAD and am trying to learn how to use it. I have been using Generic CADD for decades so this looks like a good upgrade for the little bit of 2D drawing that I do.

But it keeps crashing!  I am following the manual - so it's quite a bit different - but I can't seem to get it to work as expected. I can't draw a line with a Command. Arrows on dimensions are far too small to see. Can't get "Properties" up for a dimension....

I see that some people reported crashing as they tried to draw vertical lines, but that was a couple of years ago!! And I'm just on page 6 of the manual!!! Drawing rectangles, lines, circles and dimensioning them.

IS IT WORTH ME CONTINUING?

Tell me other folk aren't having these problems? If it's this buggy give me some tips on how to work around them.

P.S. I don't have to use the Command Line but I do use things like CTRL Z

---------------------------------------------
UPDATE

I re-loaded the program and can now draw with commands and it hasn't crashed yet though I haven't done more than draw a rectangle and a few lines. The examples I was doing before were pretty simple so I would still appreciate feedback. Anybody have any ideas what to avoid in future?
