My request/question = Is it possible to duplicate a layer? For example copy-paste within the same project/file or copy-paste from one project/file to another project/file? Thanks.

But for drawing the pattern is there a special scale or a special form to do?

The pattern file problem is fixed in master branch:

https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD

commit: https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/commit/3f5b26b693dfcc2dd0d0cd86eb6c97f081a32d0d

The fix is the single line change starting at comment of line 117

Now, you can simply make your own patterns in dxf format and save the dxf file to the system folder. If you would like to share your patterns with others, please send under the license of GPLv2+

Thanks,

Dongxu

/usr/share/librecad/patterns/ is for unix-like. As far as you get the pattern show up in the drop down menu, it’s in the right folder.

Need to investigate more why the pattern can not be used.

Thanks for exposing this bug.

so i created the pattern, i save it in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreCAD\resources\patterns

but then when i open libreCAD i find it in the choice of the patterns, but when i use it nothing appear on the drawing!

And i cant find the folder usr/share/librecad/patterns/

Can you explain me a little bit more??

Thank you so much!!

Basically, you draw the pattern as a new dxf file. If you are not sure, copy a dxf file in the folder in source code:

support/patterns/*.dxf

modify it and save it to the system folder: /usr/share/librecad/patterns/ , then, the pattern should be available to LibreCAD.

Please submit your dxf to the source code of LibreCAD to share with the LibreCAD community. Since all new LibreCAD code is covered GPLv2+ (GPL version 2 or at user’s choice any later version), please state that your contribution is licensed as GPLv2+.

Thanks,
