Hatch fill not working

Hello everyone,

I cannot get a figure to solid fill with the hatch tool. When I try to use Solid Fill, nothing happens even though the preview window shows what I want. When I attempt the Solid Fill, the Command Line states, "Total hatch area =          0"

The Pattern fill does not work either. Nothing shows on the preview window. When I attempt a brick pattern, for example, the Command Line states, "Hatch Error: Invalid contour found!"

Installing LibreCad from source for the 2.0 series(development version) does not seem to solve my hatching problems.

Please help. Any help will be very appreciated.

Please upload a test case dxf to show the problem

Is a 'test case file' a special type of file?

Here is a dxf file I made just recently in which I cannot use the hatch tool:

http://expirebox.com/download/5f2cc15715f4137d4d1e15a11f1fabbb.html

The test file is obviously OK.
I could create hatch and solid fill with LibreCAD 2.0.7-45-g00c66c0 on both, the circle and the square.

But the tool seems to be broken, in latest version 2.0.7-335-g3e7b56e hatch and solid fill doesn't work anymore.

We have to bisect this to locate the buggy commit.

Thus, it's not your fault. If you can build from source, you may checkout an older commit, e.g. 00c66c0 or wait for removal of this bug.

pushed a fix to master:

https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/commit/51ecc46647b332ccee95007ee99292406a5dd7ec

Please test nightly builds after this commit.

Solid flll works with latest commit, but hatch patterns are still broken.
The patterns are there in the drop down box, but I have no preview and no hatch is created.
The command widget message says hatch area is greater than 0.

I've narrowed it down to commit f5503862dbfcc6f61ac320b6d87dc0c8634148ae as first bad commit, the same when solid fill stops working.

I will review this commit again.

Yes, that was it, it works for me now.

Thanks,

Cool! I can solid fill shapes now! Was this due to a recent update? Thanks for the help!

Now I just gotta experiment with my custom shapes so I can solid fill those too.
