AutoCAD 2010 :: Drawing From Hatches

Jan 9, 2013

I started with AutoCAD 9.I thought that until recently, that I could draw a line from parts of a hatch.

I could draw a line perpendicular to a hatch line.Or, I could draw a line from an intersection of hatch lines.Did I change a setting?Or have I imagined being able to do such?

AutoCAD VB :: How To Separate Hatches In A Drawing

Feb 1, 2013

Normally you can do this with hatchedit -> options -> create separate hatches.

also "HPSEPARATE" on the command.

How can I separate the already drawn hatches in a drawing with vba?

I can't find such a method.

AutoCad :: Delete All Hatches Within A Drawing?

Oct 7, 2009

Quite often I recieve drawings with loads of hatches/solid fills in. For example a housing layout with all of the houses, trees, roads, grass etc hatched.

I generally want to delete these/turn them off and work with a line drawing.

Sometimes the hatches have been drawn on their own layer, so turning them off is simple. But sometimes they've been drawn on layers with other things I want to keep. Genereally there are loads of hatches, so deleting them one by one is frustratingly slow.

I used to use Microstation, and in that there was a tool to delete hatches or fills, and if you selected all items you could delete the lot in one go. Is there such a tool in AutoCAD?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Annotative Hatches - Different On Layout At Same Scale

Apr 5, 2012

I have this complex section of an architectural project, which is drawn at 1:1 scale (obviously). It has lots of constructive details, however i've made lots of layers and everything is under control.However, as I started to hatch the drawings, i was having big problems at using the same drawing for different scales, because non-annotative hatches also change their size with different scales.

So I began trying annotative, and i did it as i read in several how-tos. I made an hatch in the layout to know the perfect scale for the hatch, then applied that scale in model hatches. Then, in properties, I selected the scales at which that hatch should belong. Until here everything was OK!

However, as the ideal scale for the hatches (ANSI31) was something like 0.0003, here started the problems. The layout has an erratic behavior with similar hatches (I even tried to use match props to be sure different hatches had the same properties). On different viewports, some of the hatches appear as solid, and they plot just like that! As I zoom in and zoom out, the problem changes, as problematic viewports become right and others become wrong.

I tried to change HPmaxlines to 10000000, i tried to change the size of ansi31 in acad.pat, however the problem persists. It seems that the problem disappears when i have increase the hatch scale to, lets say, 0.05, however it's not that scale I want because of the presentation...

AutoCAD 2010 :: Too Low Density - Hatches Shows Up As Solid

Sep 27, 2011

In Acad 2012 (sp1, w64), it seems that, if a hatch has a scale too big to have something showing into the boundary, it renders as a solid hatch ! (previously, it rendered empty, as expected).

The attached file demonstrates the issue, with "dots" hatch samples at various scales. You can see that, at scale 80, where no point should be visible, it becomes solid !

It's a major annoyance, since I have lots of lisp-based automatic hatching of things, and, while it's not a problem to have an empty hatch whenever the boundary is too small for a given scale, getting a solid hatch instead is a big no-no.

How to get rid of this ?

AutoCAD 2010 :: No Longer Copy / Past One Item From One Drawing To Separate Drawing

Dec 10, 2013

Eventually after I copy and paste with the clipboard enough times within one drawing, the ability goes away and I can no longer copy and past one item from one drawing to a separate drawing.  I need to use the clipboard function because that is the only way of getting an item from one drawing to another.  

I have download a clear clipboard function but it doesn't work. Closing CAD and restarting does not reinstate the function.

AutoCad 2D :: How To Reveal And Delete Ghost Hatches

May 16, 2012

From DWG files exported off Vectorworks, in Model Space my lines are interrupted with blank area which are non removable, unpickable. If I move my drawings in MS theses black areas stay in place, the problem is: I can drag my drawing away from them but without seeing them, where they are. In Paper Space, these invisible hatch turned into grey area in random location and as grey background behind Elevation Benchmark (circle+text), room text, floor section.

AutoCad :: DGN Hatches Clogging Up Hatch System

Oct 29, 2012

I've recently started working with a colleague who uses Microstation. Since importing .dgn files into AutoCAD, my list of hatches seems to have increased exponentially, with many of the new hatches being similar in appearance and having names prefixed '_dgn'.

I'm now finding that scrolling through the list causes my computer to crash.Even when starting a new drawing, these hatches are on the list, and the purge command does not have 'hatches' on the list. How I can manage these hatches?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Printing PDF - Titleblock And Some Hatches Don't Show Up

All the hatches are on the same layer and the titleblock is xrefed in the same as all the other sheets in the set, which all are fine as well.

AutoCad :: Plotting Transparent Solid Hatches - 2011

Sep 6, 2011

Lately I've been trying to plot a drawing with solid hatches of varying transparencies to pdf in Autocad 2011. I have plotted drawings like this successfully before, but with this particular document, the hatches are being rendered with a strange texture of horizontal lines as if printed by an inkjet printer running low on ink. An example is attached - all hatches should be smooth.

zone sections.pdf

I have experimented with some variables and found that it only happens when the layers containing these hatches have any value for transparency other than 0, regardless of whether they overlap.

I've tried copying just the lines and hatches shown in the attachment to a separate dwg and the result is the same.

AutoCad :: Revert Hatches To Original Scale / Patterns

Jan 9, 2012

Upon starting up 2012 MEP I was asked if I would like to convert hatches with too small a scale to solid so as to safe virtual memory. I turned this on, and now I'm noticing some runs of piping showing up as solid. I would rather not have this seemingly random solid hatch all over my drawings.

Is there a way to go revert the hatches to their original scale/patterns? I'd selected the temporary option, however whenever I open the file now it shows as shown in the picture.

(see attached image for reference)
