Hatching

I have been using LibreCAD now for a month. I have tried all I have been able to, to create hatched filling of an entiy(ies), but each time I select the HATCHING LibreCAD terminates immediately. Any help on this? I need to fill some entities with a pattern or colour and could not yet get that to function... Please help.

Seems as if with the latest build the hatching is working...

It seems as if I'm either to stupid to get this working or I'm not understanding how to use this facility...

I have a house plan with e.g. a room 5m X 3m with a wall of 140 gap. Thus a rectangle of 5000 X 3000 with parrallel lines eq to 140mm. This created a double lined rectangle.

I now mark these entities and then want to fill it with solid color between the lines, not the centre blank section.

I just cannot get this to work...

Any ideas where I'm going wrong.

I cannot access the manual from my LibreCAD (Have made a post in another heading re this).

Erik fixed a serious bug after the release of 2.0.0alpha3

I have been able to get this function working, however there are some of the hatch pattern option which are "blank".
I have also found that some options seem to have duplicated in the options window where you need to select a pattern.

Finally, and I'll test this again. I got the pattern into the area OK. However I saved the file and when I re-opened the file the patterns were blank once again.

I shall make 200% certain it is still a problem after upgrading to the Daily Build (26/04)

Hello zs1otb,

At the moment the file I/O is my specialty
if you want I can look at what the failure,
but I need the file saved and the pattern
data of created hatch (pattern, scale & angle)
I need to check if it is a bug opening or saving

Rallaz,

I have tried to recreate the problem but it seems as if it is working after the daily build was installed.

The one bug I still see is that when you open the drop-down menu for the various patterns each of them is duplicated.

The one which it still not working is the brick...
