Concrete Block Hatch For QCAD Pro

[seasdes]

Here in Australia Concrete blocks are 390 mm long x 190 mm high. Mortar joints are 10 mm.
I need to place hatching that matches these exact dimensions.
I have never created a hatch pattern before.
Does anyone have a hatch pattern that matches these sizes or point me to a source or instructions how to create them.

Lucky you! I think a neighbor of you has a good solution for your problem

John Hyslop, a member of this forum, created a hatch pattern tool which can do exactly what you are looking for. The tool is called:
"Free Stand Alone Basic Hatch Pattern Tool" ...

It will help you without coding skills to design a hatch pattern like this one:

Thank you Husky and especially John.

I suppose at 700 k John is a neighbour.

Thanks Husky much appreciated..
I hope you find this useful seasdes....

If you're interested in manually making your own patterns, I did a section in the forum
Hatch Patterns For Beginners

https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=6899

Hopefully soon there will be a tool inside Qcad written by CVH it's called Tile2Hatch I'm testing atm and it is excellent, it will take hatch patterns to another level..

All the best
