There are two hatch tools: Hatch from Selection (HA) and Hatch from Segments (HS). Properties are set in an up-pooping dialog.

Hi,

Remark that there is only a default on first run.
The options in the hatch dialog are stored persistent between usage.
Both hatching methods share the same dialog.

The options are stored persitent in QCAD.ini/config.
Look for the header [HatchDialog]

For the properties of a hatch entity see Property Editor.

Regards,
CVH
