QCAD Professional version: 3.32.0.0
Windows 10
Just a quick question: can the horizontal scale be moved from above the drawing area to below. I do most drawings with the 0,0 point at the lower left. That makes most of the coordinates positive. The vertical scale is on the left, which is great. But the horizontal scale is on the top of the drawing area which seems counterintuitive. 
Is there any setting that will move it to below?

Not that I know of.
Showing or not is a preference.
Everything surrounding the drawing panel can not be dragged like Toolbars and Widgets.
It should be perfectly feasible but then with the value labels below the marks.
I think that this is a nice candidate for a feature request on Bugtracker.
What with the Scrollbars?
At present they are at the opposite side.
Where these meet you have the Grid/Meta Grid scale displayed.

Well, I was just asking if it could be done. Not thinking about a new feature. I would far prefer some improvements in the grid-meta grid situation.
