Workflow: OG followed by selecting segments one by one (rather chains or paths as Qcad finds all interconnected). What you describe here looks like the functionality of 'Polyline from segments' (OG). However, when I do try to hatch by selection, it doesn’t matter where I start, or in what order I make the selection, I cannot select more than 51 entities. Found some entities that are not squared out but are slanted a tiny bit.Ĭlass AB 0.4mm Etch Master 160520 Rev.dxf (1.9 MiB) Downloaded 254 times Not sure about the triangles and you can't isolate it from the multi hatch. Select all: 1104 logical closed polys => Cleanup succeeded.īox select the inner part of the lower sectionīox select the inner part of the upper section Moved 3 round corners to duplicates (Detect duplicates did not find them !!) Here the trimming seems ok but we discover orphans that sit under other entities Trimmed & select poly & Polys from selection Trimmed & select both polys & Polys from selection Selection Filter: Polys not closed select allġ6 Polys fail (Keep the filter handy to recheck) Polys from selection > 557 polys (not all logical closed !!) Polys from selection > 528 polys (not all logical closed !!) Select all Checked Selection in Property editor We still have PolysĮxplode further untill no polys remain (downside: circular polys explode to arcs) The simplest is to alter the Layer property of a selection in the Porperty Editor.Įxplode (downside: circles explode to circular polys) I haven’t been able to work out how to combine everything on to one layer though In order to hatch the top drawing, every single line and arc has to be selected individually!!! as the hatch has to go around each component as one big hatch. In the attached screenshot, the lower part of the drawing has hatched ok, but the top drawing won't hatch. Then after coming back to the drawing a while later, whilst each entity is a poly line, using hatch is now showing each line, arc, etc as separate and not as a poly line. Going through the help on the forum, I started to use the creation tool for a poly line to ensure each separate entity was complete before selecting it for hatching. When I started using hatch, selecting each segment before hatching started off ok, but after about 30-40 segments, one would not select and then nothing further could be selected. This involves a lot of hatching (areas which are hatched get etched, areas which are not hatched remain as solid brass). I am doing a drawing for use in etching brass. I am having trouble getting hatch to work.
