Technical drawing Pattern Filling

[Ing-design]

Hi all,

I’m a all new user of affinity programs

I work a lot with building plans and for my technical sketch I would want to know if in affinity design is possible to fill an area with a “technical” hatch, like 45 degrees lines or similar - see attached pictures.

or… what is the easiest way to do what I want?

Sorry if the question is so basic… but what I found is not what I expected for.

thanks for your help

Hi and welcome to the forum.

The best way to use fills like these:

• create bitmap files in png or jpeg format containing the fills as seamless tiles.
• In Photo, you can create bitmap fill layers 
• In Designer,  you can create bitmap layers or rectangular shapes,  and use the fill tool, in bitmap mode, to create a layer with a fill based on those tiles

other options are using symbols of those tiles, and power-duplicate to create larger fill areas.
