henkjan_nl

For classical mechanical drawings, as used in e.g. patents, hatch patterns are used. In the tutorial on https://inkscape.org/en/~henkjan_nl/%E2%98%85patterns-for-mechanical-drawings-in-inkscape I also include a description with: 1) how to import and use patterns in general 2) how these patterns were created using Python I also included all source files Kind regards, HenkJan van der Pol.

Patterns for mechanical drawings in Inkscape

henkjan_nl

Hello, For some mechanical drawings, such as in patents, hatch patterns must be used. In the attached tutorial I describe how to create neat patterns, and I also include a pattern file with 39 standard hatch patterns to be used in Inkscape. The last section in the tutorial describes how to use these patterns in two different ways. For folks who want to modify these patterns or create their own, a description is added with how they were made using Python. The Python script is also included. Hope this is useful, have fun.
