An utter deja-vue experience...

This file is made with Qcad 2, following the instructions from the old post.
Open it in Qcad 2 and you see what is meant.
Just in case, here is a screenshot:
Opening it in Qcad 3 does not yield a usable result, neither did fiddling around with patterns, scales and angles.
So... How do I do that in Qcad 3?
how do I create offset hatches?

Re: how do I create offset hatches?
Pattern offsets are not supported by QCAD at this point. The best solution I can think of is to use two different patterns that are defined as being offset by 50% from each other.
Re: how do I create offset hatches?
That is what I wanted to do, but I found it impossible to add a pattern.... The best solution I can think of is to use two different patterns that are defined as being offset by 50% from each other.
I researched the .pat file format and created these two (named _general.pat and _general_offset.pat) in the D:\QCAD Professional\3.1.2\patterns\metric directory
Code: Select all
*_general,general purpose solid line
0, 0,0 0,5
Code: Select all
*_general_offset,general purpose solid line with offset
0, 0,2.5 0,5
What am I missing here?
*edit:
COMMA's, seperating the line offset from the line origin parameters.
I knew it was something blatantly obvious...
