@Sjonnie, you've seen but the tip of the "support iceberg". Andrew, Husky and others provide unparalleled support for QCAD. You'll not be disappointed.

Thanks Andrew. Yeah, the blue background threw me a sec then. I did notice the pencil icon. I'll keep that in mind. All good otherwise (from what I do use).

Layers issue has returned. Add new layer and the new layer, even though active, is not highlighted although the pencil icon shows. And in some cases no layers are highlighted after the new layer is added or the wrong layer is highlighted. 3.22.09

THANK YOU 3.22.0.7

I hate being the "tattle-tail"!

Will do.

Using 3.22.0.5 - can someone give me a lesson on using the Tangential tool? I just seem to fall flat on my face when attempting to use it.

So embarrassed.... had to remove my incorrect attempt

How about this??? (Fixed intersection probs)

Ah!!!!! I can see clearly now! e_surprised It was that last ESC that got me. Thanks for that. I had expected that since the 2 segments intersected that by selecting the second entity that the loop would have been closed and the hatch created as soon as it was selected. I'll adjust my help page to in...

Forgive me.... but this just isn't working for me. I even tried with a circle, infinite line thru center. I can create the hatch if I break the ellipse and remove the left segment, but can't fill the right section with the hatch from segments. I know I'm missing something here... or I'm naturally th...
