Cross hatch not showing up in SheetCam

[truck569]

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?

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.

Thanks for the tip Les. Curious to hear if this works for truck569

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!
