There's definitely a zero length line. Try rectangular selection: Property editor:

OK, thanks. Try: Modify > Detect Zero Entities This will detect one zero length entity in your outer contour, at the bottom of the arc which is part of the bottom edge of the shape. Delete that entity, then try to hatch again. Apparently, QCAD is not bothered by that entity but the DXF format doesn'...

Does Qcad not save Hatches? Yes, it does. There might be rare occasions on which the underlying library rejects a hatch. That would likely be because a path is not properly closed. I tried to open and save your file without problems. Are you hatching any particular area which does not get saved? Ca...

This looks fine here. What operating system are you on?

Please note that we also offer a tar.gz file, which you can download and simply extract in any desired location. There is no real advantage of using the installer in this situation.

You appear to have selected a hatch entity among other entities. You cannot apply a hatch to an existing hatch. Please make sure that you only select lines, arcs, etc. that form a closed area. Perhaps try this with a simple rectangle first, to see how it works.

Please attach or e-mail the drawing file, thank you.

OK. This sounds like a specialised snap tool that snaps to a point with a given distance on a specific, previously chosen entity. I'd recommend to implement your own snap tool, similar to the one implemented in SnapDistance.js You can essentially copy that file and rename the classes or derive from ...

OK. To use RSnapDistanceExtension, you will have to include the file SnapDistance.js. Please note that RSnapDistanceExtension is not a snap restriction, but a regular snap function. So you cannot pass is to setSnapRestriction. Possible snap restrictions are RRestrictAngleLength, RRestrictOrthogonal,...

OK, great. Thanks for letting me know.

What is RRestrictAngleLengthExtension, one of your own classes?

This is a known issue on some installations / systems which was introduced in QCAD 3.7.2 and should be fixed in QCAD 3.7.5, released yesterday. You can update for free from your download area (link sent to you via e-mail) or following our instructions at: http://www.qcad.org/en/customer-area Please ...

Thanks. The block reference (INSERT) and a POINT entity which is also in the ENTITIES section both use the DXF code 67, a flag that indicates that the entity should be imported into paper space. I've added proper support for this flag to dxflib v3.7.5: http://www.qcad.org/en/dxflib-downloads You can...
