I moved around some texts from layer 0 to another layer, I called "Text". The Text layer color is magenta. The Layer0 color was white. During text creation I individually changed the layer from the layer I was in at the time of text creation to layer "Text". In the result I have a mix of white and a...

Layer
Select all layer entities
Bring to front / Sent to back

They have to be able to get selected. <<<???

I can use the drop down menu Layer and I see Y+, but nothing happens, when I click Y+

Then I tried it once gain and the items got selected. Strange.

Is it possible to let thick lines look like a newspaper print (rasterized)?
E.g. turn a thick line to a polygon surrounding it? Might also be achieved by putting a "tube" around every line.

Sometimes I find it tedious to bring all objects in a layer to front or back. Is there a way to switch a whole layer back or to front with one click?

One can align some as group to the center of another.
Or to a reference created on purpose.
Possibilities are legio.

Thanks to all. I chose to draw a row of points in an auxilliary layer to which I snapped to objects manually.

You could 'Move' with 'Copy'... 'Multiple copies'

Problem is, the objects are already exist in the drawing in an unordered fashion and I would like to distribute/align them.

How can I make a selection equidistant in one dimension such that they are evenly distributed over the distance of the outer most objects? After having done that I would align them evenly in direction perpendicular to the first direction (general case for horizontally vs. vertically)? QCad Pro 3.24....

The circle and the filling are two separate objects that have to be selected separately or using a rectangular window selection.

OK, thanks, it suddenly worked .

MacOS: I drew a circle and filled it with the layer color. Now I would like to take (select, CMD-C, CMD-V) the filled circle with the cursor and drop it elsewhere in the drawing. The result is only the circumference of that circle as it was before I filled it. How can I achieve that the filled circl...

MacOS Catalina 10.15.2 QCad Pro 3.24.0.0 When I move the MacMouse just a bit the window zoom runs away quickly as if mouse events are piled up in a queue adn donÄt seem to end. This results in the drawing running very quickly out of sight in either direction - either zoom in or zoom out depending on...

Husky, I was just wondering. You said: "Select all, launch the hatch tool, confirm the dialog, done." I did that but got a different result than you. I was wondering why I got a different result although I was exactly following the steps prescribed by you. And then I asked for "mince" and lineweight...

That is your hatch + the contour line.
Its probably on Layer 0 as ever.
Your Lineweight is not mince.

The R pocket is 0.50 - 0.40 width.
Minus 2x half the Lineweight.

What is "mince" and where does one adjust it?
I have set linewidth to 0 .

I'm trying to apply the HATCH-tool method to a drawing to find out whether it has any discontinuities. Ok, makes sense ... :wink: When trying to apply Polyline from Segments (OG), the contour starts to behave a bit screwy, as if the order of some elements is twisted somehow. What for you need the P...

Activate OG Look below. Untitled17.png Yes, as soon as you have made ARCs of the CIRCLE or have exploded the CIRCLE. But you cannot vonvert a CIRCLE directly to a POLYLINE. Once you know you have to explode it, fine. But I stubled across it when I tried to convert that LOgo I posted and found that ...
