Hatch problems
Posted: Thu Oct 31, 2019 1:37 pm
Hi Folks
I've haven't posted here for about 18 months, which is a record. My problems started yesterday, when lines only partially appeared in both print preview and pdfs. Since the drawing started out as an engineer's drawing, almost certainly not drawn in QCAD, I copied and pasted what I needed into a new drawing. That solved the print/pdf problem, but now the hatch patterns aren't working - which were fine in the original drawing (thought the hatch was created by me in QCAD). Since I need something that looks like dots (standard for mortar in archaeological drawings), I think that only AR-Sand or Dots will do - but in the drawing they are coming out nothing like their preview.
Can you help?
Many thanks, Jackie
PS before I thought to copy and paste into a new drawing, I reinstalled QCAD and restarted my computer as well
