Hi Andrew
I noticed in Qcad 3.24 that small lines are rendered as points, this is good but I had to redo LATTICE-02.PAT
manually as it had a Zero on the end of 2 lines, I've commented in PAT files where... if the current Pattern
File is Exploded it shows these points and sometimes even if not exploded also shows them slightly.... anyway
here are the updated Files please just write over the older ones..see what I mean by points in image below..

Hi All

I'm Currently Testing out this tool "Tile2Hatch tool © CVH 2020" It seems to work flawlessly even at testing stage so
I'm posting all my patterns now using this tool as the AutoCad one has a lot of limitations... all header files will
contain this message to credit CVH on his amazing work on this tool that runs in Qcad :-)

Hi All
As you are all aware CVH discovered that some hatch patterns when hatched far away from the drawings X Y Origin start to lose accuracy , this is due to the limitation of the number of decimal points used to calculate entity positions at that distance. Although it's not the norm to hatch at such distances, we have come up with a workaround if needed, simply click on the pattern that has lost it's definition and reset the hatch origin... see screenshot below. I will be reinstating the patterns I removed recently as we now know what is causing this...

The Installed AR-CONC.PAT does exactly the same thing and that's been around for years
