Hatch from segments tool
The "Hatch from segments" tool is really handy, I'm sure it is the tool everyone has always wanted for hatching. Thanks Andrew, really nice work

Re: Hatch from segments tool
Good to hear, thanks for the feedback!
Re: Hatch from segments tool
Yes, and a big thank you from me, I have been wanting this tool for a long time, well worth the wait
For the best support please state your operating system, QCAD version and add any supporting DXF/DWG files, screenshots etc...
Re: Hatch from segments tool
You're welcome Clive and thanks for your testing and feedback a few weeks back!
Re: Hatch from segments tool
Yes Andrew, nice work and very helpful,
but why is the tool selection mark different to the normal selection mark described in the application preferences?

Note that this tool is not selecting entities. It is highlighting entity segments which are later used as hatch boundary.TSG wrote:but why is the tool selection mark different to the normal selection mark described in the application preferences?
Re: Hatch from segments tool
You're right and I understand the difference but for me the highlighting (in red) of this tool is hard to recognize due to my dyschromatopsia .Note that this tool is not selecting entities. It is highlighting entity segments which are later used as hatch boundary.
Therefore I would appreciate the possibility to determine this highlighting in the application preferences for instance.

Re: Hatch from segments tool
Sorry to hear that. I've changed this to use the selection color to highlight the segments for the hatch from segments tool.
Re: Hatch from segments tool
Hi everybody,
first of all I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I love the new hatch from segments tool. Very nice and easy to use. But now I got a problem with it.
I draw a circle with a square in it. Then I want to hatch the area between the circle and the square with the hatch from segments tool. And .... everything works perfect.
But if I try the same with another circle instead of the square (circle in circle) the hatch from segments tool fails.
What goes wrong here?
Thanks for your help
Thomas
PS: I know that I can use the hatch from selection tool which works fine for this task.

Hello TSG,
Best wishes to you also with lots of QCAD projects.

That does not seem too illogical to me as a circle has no end. Try breaking the inside circle in one point and the tool will workBut if I try the same with another circle instead of the square (circle in circle) the hatch from segments tool fails.

Hi J-J
thanks for your reply.
Does an entity really needs an end to work properly with the hatch from segments tool?
If so an ellipse in a circle shouldn't work either ... but it does.

Re: Hatch from segments tool
OK, may be the ellipse has a different structure, Andrew may have an answer. Interesting, one learns everyday!

Merry Christmas to you too!
There is an upcoming Bug fixes (FS#1517) for the next release - maybe this problem is already fixed.TSG wrote:But if I try the same with another circle instead of the square (circle in circle) the hatch from segments tool fails.

Re: Hatch from segments tool
QCAD 3.16.3 has been released and the hatch from segments tool now uses the configured selection color to highlight segments.TSG wrote:You're right and I understand the difference but for me the highlighting (in red) of this tool is hard to recognize due to my dyschromatopsia .
