I did a serch for cross hatch, nothing turned up.
I can use of the cross hatch extension in Inkscape, and it turns up in Sheetcam
But when I use QCad, it loses the cross hatching, and looks like just letter outlines.
I have tried making the hatching a different layer, same result
I have tried removing the outline of the letters, and a blank screen is all I get
I prefer Qcad over Inkscape, so would really like to use that if possible, for the Easy Scriber.
Using version 7.0.21 of Sheetcam
Version 3.29.2.0 of QCad
Thoughts?

Re: Cross hatch not showing up in SheetCam
The cross hatch in Inkscape draws the cross hatch as a series of lines. QCad on the other hand places cross hatch as a seperate cross hatch entity. SheetCam does not understand cross hatch entities.
If you explode the cross hatching in QCad, SheetCam should see it.

Re: Cross hatch not showing up in SheetCam
I did it and opened Sheetcam. It showed some funky lines, but may well cut normal. I have been little busy to mess with it today. But it is looking promising!
