Snap to Hatch Pattern Boundary

Post by John Hyslop » Sun Aug 23, 2020 6:24 am

Hi Andrew

Did something change with Hatches on QCAD/CAM 3.25.0.0 ?
On previous versions I was able to measure the hatch pattern
where it touched the extents of the hatched object..
It was quite handy when testing out my hatch tool and manually typed
hatches, the new version doesn't snap to hatch entity's ..
If this is the case, I'll need to redo a tutorial I did on using my
basic hatch tool - Stud Wall...

No big deal , just means I need to explode to measure then undo..
Just curious... :?:

Cheers

So, you had a "pratical use for them".
Sorry, my fault.

Slanted those values are of lesser use.
Explode the hatch and measure distance between lines.

Andrew considered that as NOT intended.
