Feature Request for Hatch Command or PolyTrim Tool
Posted: Fri Jan 10, 2020 3:58 am
Hi Andrew
1st of all I’d like to say I’m not requesting to remove current hatches, they will always serve a purpose and I will continue to add to this collection, now using CVH’s Tool.
I currently use Qcad 90% of the time now but find myself going back to AutoCad only to use the Super Hatch Tool (which I think they got the idea from your older version of Qcad).
I think having the ability to create and store a dxf tile is a huge advantage, maybe even include images as well? Others might use that but I and many others would probably only use the dxf tile part.
Pros:
1: Smaller file size (almost half the size, as you can see in my example, Qcad-Logo ) files attached
2: Having the ability to fill non-uniform shapes with laser cutting friendly entities, arcs, circles, splines etc.
3: Fill non-uniform shapes without having to go about this with array or block command and a lot of trimming…
4: Great tool for generating a fast pattern to make garden screens or the like.
5: I see this as a step forward as far as standards go AutoDesk & ProgeCAD offer a similar feature as I mentioned above but their Tool is limited to a block and can only be used in that current drawing.
Cons:
1: I can’t see any.
PS I wasn’t sure where to post this I was looking for a Feature Request Topic but couldn’t find one I did post this in the Chat section but I think that was the wrong place?
