Like with painting, all the hard work is in the cutting in. Being able to set a grid, copy and paste, still get track snapping, and work directly on the PCB allowed consistent, albeit arduous, progress. KiCad’s trace drawing behaviour is definitely not ideal for this, but actually helped surprisingly well. In the end I drew it by hand, all in KiCad. And the result is too difficult to tweak, due to the prolonged edit-preview cycle.

That all said, I abandoned both the documented solutions! Trying to maintain control over edges and dimensions between vector export, rasterisation and re-vectorisation through 4 separate software tools just became too much. Now that I’ve had reason to apply hatched fills (yes, one of those picky CapSense sensors), this thread has been crucial. I don’t know how I overlooked this missing feature for so long. Egldy (via and for the diligent documentation on your methods. Here two more links that where helpful in this process:
replace the background transparency with white.load the fill area bitmap in gimp and fill it with your pattern.open gimp and create a black&white crosshatched pattern as you want it,Įxport it as gimp pattern, copy it to your gimp pattern directory, restart.export the selected object as bitmap, use a high resolution (I used 1200dpi).select just the object defining the fill area.create a regular flood fill area where you later want the hatched one.British mercenary firms, Diptrace edit copper pour, Septic joint xray, Prasangka titik. I finally solved my problem based on your idea, thanks. Msmra, Boxningsfilm 2011, Shimano freewheel hub removal. A typical two layer board costs US5 per square inch. They take orders for very small quantities of boards (minimum 3) and they are able to do this by taking small hobbyist projects and compiling them into a big batch. Have a play with the bitmap2component utility (on the main kicad screen) DipTrace: Design Your PCB for OSH Park is a PCB manufacturer tailored to hobbyists. Meanwhile found a bit tedious workout was posted at I will wait till KiCad provides these feature. As I may need hatched fill for partial ground below capsense buttons on intended project.
