Performance problems with hatching

Post by Sazhen86 » Mon Nov 17, 2014 10:34 pm

I'm using QCAD 3.7.1 Pro on Mac OS X 10.10 and I am having some performance problems with a simple drawing.

My drawing comprises a rectangle and an outline of 5 lines and a curve. Both are hatched with ANSI36 with a scale of 10. I save both objects as blocks in the library and created a new drawing into which I inserted references to both blocks. Now I find that almost every command results in long delays, beach balls and a complete lack of responsiveness. With those two objects in the drawing, QCAD is rendered useless as I can do no further drawing.

Please can you suggest what I may be doing wrong?

Cheers
Rick

Please find one of the library objects attached. Inserting that object into a new drawing slows down QCAD to a crawl.

Thanks! I can reproduce the problem here. This will be fixed for the next release.
Meanwhile, I'd recommend to set the hatch to a "solid fill" until the problem is solved.
