Re: problems converting splines to polylines

currently, spline is not well supported by our hatch, which needs lots improvement on features.

One workaround to hatch splines could be exploding them first:

1. Select a spline;
2. Tools > Modify > Explode.

Then, the spline is converted to individual line segments, and hatching is supported.

This is not ideal, but it should work.

Hi,

Newbie to CAD and librecad, which I'm loving, but ohhh the learning curve, yet, loving the possibilities.

I've been successfully converting multiple lines into polylines but they do not convert my splines into polylines... the mapping I am doing combines polylines and splines which I need all as a closed polyline as some of them will be hatched. all the ends are touching.

for example in the yellow and orange sections, I could convert with no issues the straight lines into polylines but the curves made with spline would not be included in the conversion and I cannot get it hatched.

Not too sure where to go from here as from my understanding it is possible, or am I mistaken?
