How do I reset DraftSight to default?

3D Design Volume Model

Hello

 

I wanted to know how to extrude a rectangle with DraftSight.

 

On the Internet, I found a video that shows how to do it:

it's by typing "extrusion" in the dialog box

then we give the extrusion height.

 

However, when I rotate around my figure, it stays in 2D.

 

I think this is due to a mishandling in the software options.

 

Would anyone know how to reset the software settings to default?

 

thank you in advance

Thank you for the answer!

On the other hand it doesn't work

The reset command does not work for all changes made.

I don't know why

I created a profile in addition to the default one

On the profile created I changed the size and color of the reticle

When I did "reset" there is just the size of the crosshair which has returned to normal

 

a bug in the software may be

the software version I have is V1R4

Hello

It seems to me that "DraftSight" is a 2D software, so it seems normal that you can't do a 3D extrusion of a rectangle.

Or I'm missing something important!

Kind regards

the person demonstrates how to do an extrusion with Draftsight

 

and it intrigued me

 

Kind regards

Ok, we can indeed say that there are some notions of 3D when watching the video, but hey it's really very limited. We don't get very far!

By redoing exactly what the person is doing in the video, I have a volume generated.

Hello

 

so it may be an error in the update to switch to R4.

 

because the command exists and in the help of the software it talks about it.

 

Hoping they will put it back in the next update.

 

I find Draftsight not bad for an Autocad clone (plus it's free)

Hello LOLO LA,

 

I tried to uninstall and reinstall the software but the command still doesn't work

 

PS: before reinstalling I was advised to delete the folder and clean the registry with CCleaner
