Filled triangle

Post by andrew » Mon Dec 12, 2011 10:37 am

From a QCAD user:

If there is an easier way to create a filled triangle (rather than creating a leader dimension, exploding it, then deleting everything other than the solid triangle) please advise.

To create a filled triangle, please proceed as follows:

- Draw the triangle with lines
- Select all three lines
- Menu 'Draw' - 'Hatch'
- In the dialog choose 'Solid Fill' for 'Type' and click OK.
- You may want to delete the three lines. The solid fill can exist on its own.

To reuse the arrow, you might want to create a block and insert it with the appropriate rotation angle / scale every time you need an arrow.
