There's a lot to work through there, but I now know which way to go. Many thanks for the detailed answer

Updated: Scan2CAD did a good conversion job and got all the jpgs into QCAD, soon scaled correctly. Excellent!

I have land plot plans on the internet and as jpgs which I wish to use, scaled, as the base of a building design drawing.

How can I get the land plan into a drawing, scaled?

Many thanks, Andrew.

How do I control which line colour takes precedence when lines overlay?

I'm having problems where I have a layer in light grey (for example) showing hidden detail, which is printing instead of the overlying black line for visible detail.

It's an intermittent problem. Sometimes closing QCAD and relaunching clears it. I launch QCAD from the W10 start menu. I usually scroll to Recent Files to find the one I want, or begin a New File.

Nice drafting work.

But how does the tool work?

How should I best go about hatching a drawing like the attached? I've tried Hatch From Selection but the selection process seems to drop out long before I've got all around the stairs.

Is there any way of setting the model space and paper space up independently of each other, or with a less crude choice of simply metres or millimeters? No, and honestly I have right now no clue why you like to do so. Please enlighten me? In model space I want to annotate the design and show key di...
