The solid filled (hatched area remained and did not follow the resizing. How do I correct this? How do I remove the former hatch? EDIT: I got some errors ...

Re: printing white text on black

Yes, B/W Mode is chosen (selected). BTW, under what circumstances is it possible to use the "hand"-symbol to move the paper area under the drawing? At the moment this is locked but I remember to have been able to position the drawing relative to the paper. EDIT: solved! Using "Full Color Mode" in th...

Re: drawing a compass rose

@CVH: Thanks a lot. This will help.
@J-J: also a great "Thank you". Decoration is nice but not necessary in my case. The scale is also fine (0..360)

ugrade on macOS to 3.27.1 looks funny

Is there a direct email contact like "support@ribbonsoft.com"? Doesn't seem so. An attempt to turn to that address directly bounced. I had downloaded the MacOS upgrade DMG file qcad-3.27.1-pro-macos-10.14-12.dmg to my MacBookPro (11.6.5 BigSur). After opening the DMG I got this (funnily clobbered) p...

how do I create a pattern (array) of objects?

QCAD 3.25.2.0, macOS 11.2.2

How do I create a pattern of, say, squares?

I have created a square like 0,0;0,0 / 0,25;0,25 and would like to repeat it in Y with pitch 0,25 in Y.

To generalize it, repeat a pattern in x,y, nx,ny-times, with pitch px,py.

Then I placed a text string into that filled rectangle, brought the text to front (MF). Changed text color to white. Als...

I define a new color from the chooser, that then is assigned to the the "Custom" in the color property (property editor) When I want to choose that color in the pen toolbox widget it is not listed. How can I now choose exac...
