Artefacts round hatched surfaces

Post by Learnincurve » Wed Oct 01, 2014 10:36 am

Hi,

When hatching surfaces I am getting artefacts around some of the edges. These seem to vary in size and are particularly intrusive on one drawing.

I suspect that the problem may have to do with the way I have set up my dimensions as the hatching in question needs to be at a very low scale to look right:

AR-RSHKE at 0.0007 scale.

I attach a sample drawing and a pdf printout.

Thanks for your report and files.

This is related to bug #1101 and has been fixed for the next release:
http://www.qcad.org/bugtracker/index.ph ... sk_id=1101

For now, you can change the point display mode, for example to invisible:
Edit > Drawing Preferences > General > Point Display

I have tried setting the point display in drawing preferences to Mode:1, Size:0 (invisible). The problem is reduced but not altogether solved (please see .pdf printout of affected drawing).

When can we expect the version with a fix for this?

Best wishes

Marius
