Whiteout (Solved)
I need to insert some text over some linework and images. In some other CAD packages there is a whiteout function that allows this to happen. Is it possible in QCAD?

Re: Whiteout
QCAD does not have a whiteout function. This said, you can use a solid hatch to have a similar effect.
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro

Re: Whiteout (Solved)
Hi
This is a bit of a hack but it works
I draw white on a black screen and I thought I'd share this with you all...
It's just a white image but you can change its size width & height as you like, I hope this comes as a handy tip..
Just make sure Modify > Draw Order > Bring to Front is set or use hotkeys MF
And once you have in your drawing you can cut and paste as you like..
The Whiteout.png file.. Cheers

Re: Whiteout (Solved)
Thanks John. A great tip. And the image size can be reshaped by dragging the handles of the image.
