In my case, I have to go for <Edit> -> <Drawing Preferences> ->
<Measurement (or the like)>. There I choose "proportional" and change
the text size like I want it to be. Atferwards it works at my QCAD. 

The background is that the text size is set in mm and my drawing is in
meters. So there was a measurementtext, but so little that I could ot
see it. You have to adjust the mesurement unit to the unit in which
you are drawing.

I hope it was at least a bit clear what I mean.
