Hatch add Point

[ikua]

Hello!

Loving qcad. But a big issue is everytime the hatching. Sometimes i hatch a area and later on i have to change it only a bit. Often i only would need an additional point on the hatch to change one corner. It would be great, if there would exist an possibilty like "Insert Node" in polyline.
I know there are other solutions, like suggested in this post https://qcad.ch/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=7691 but they are more a workaround than a really good solution for the workflow. So maybe this could be implemented.

So maybe this could be implemented.

That is a big maybe ...

Boundaries are not really limited to Polylines. See 'Hatch from Selection/Segments'.
A Hatch boundary may consists of different loops, loops can include different segment types.
Then we rather speak of perfectly closed and singular contours.

One can drag a Hatch boundary vertex by its marker to a new location when the Hatch is selected.

For additional corners, the workaround is your best option.
Exploding a solid Hatch returns the boundaries their segments, edit these and re-create a Hatch.

It won't be practical possible to add an extra vertex without knowing:
- The hatch, the boundary and the intended boundary loop and segment type.
The nearest simple boundary shape would be an option and then a perpendicular point on that ...
... But:
One can for example not add a vertex to a line/arc segment, those needs to be split in two.
One can not add an extra control point to a spline. (Only option is redefining and that would be another shape)
...
..
.

See Hatching as a near final stage in your design.
For when the geometry will not change anymore.

ok. once again everything seems more diffictult than on the first view. Thank you for your fast reply. I will than stick with the workaround.
