add hatched ground as ground fill option #4150
Comments
Instead of a solid ground fill, an element like this should be made available, right?

Nice finding! Did not know that SVG has such "easy" opportunities to realize a hatched area! From Espressif's Touch Sensor Application Note > section 3.3.7. Ground Plane a good default (at least for touch sensors) could be:
For more flexible parameters (don't know if we need / want them in Fritzing) I found a screenshot from DipTrace in this thread https://forum.kicad.info/t/copper-pour-with-hatched-fill-instead-of-solid-fill/860/8 e.g. with |
Beware, just an example. Ideally it would work, and Qt (the framework we use) has improved their support for fill patterns quite recently (earlier this year) : https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-svg-not-so-1.2-tiny-any-more And we would still have to support the various transformations the pattern undergoes, especially exporting to gerber. Of course we could just 'brute force' it by adding a number of lines. |
I would like to express my interest in this feature😁 |
I guess you do some further processing to "slice" areas in the gerber file into lines. Nevertheless, is there a nozzle diameter that would allow direct conversion? |
The software for the printer creates toolpaths from imported gerbers (when they are correctly formatted😜). |
Some applications, e.g. touch buttons, require hatched ground instead of plain ground, but this is currently in Fritzing only possible as a complex workaround editing the SVG and replacing the ground layer afterwords.
So it would be nice to have the option "hatched" as ground fill, (perhaps with different hatching percentages) for ground fill.
