I'm not sure if this is entirely "new" or is pending in the "to do" list!
I used to use Freehand software in my brochure designs and found the "Copy Attributes" feature a real time-saver. It would be a really worthwhile addition to QCAD. Just to clarify, the attributes of a line would include its layer, thickness, colour, linetype/linetype scale. If these could be copied from one line and applied to one or several other lines it would save having to go back and forth checking, and memorising the settings required.
Likewise, the attributes of a hatch that has been used could very quickly be copied and reproduced in other hatched areas of different shapes and sizes.
