Where the Hatch files are located. A user in my group is having trouble with his HATCH command. It doesn't seem to be working and it keeps telling him that the format files do not support his hatch or something like that.
Where the CUI custom files are so I can use them to update a new install of Acad 2010? My computer crashed, and I had to reinstall from scratch, so I just need to get the customization files off the old hard drive and put them somewhere to use for the new install.

I have a hatched area (A wall with a column inside wall). I deleted the column and now its place is void (no hatch). How can I extend the hatch pattern to fill the column location as well?
I read some threads about associative or non-associative hatch areas, but I don't think that could solve my problem.
I created a large transparent hatch in one drawing and copied it into 2 other drawings for use. 2 out of the 3 drawings plot to dwf and then to a plotter or pdf as expected but the 3rd dwf looks good until you plot that to a plotter or pdf; then it turns solid, masking everything underneath it.
additionally, if I go straight from CAD to pdf or plotter the transparency is removed as well.
cetransparency = bylayer
plot with transparenccy is checked on
I tried copying everything to a new drawing with no luck.
I have this drawing will all hatches, the red hatch in the middle is the same hatch around it, ANSI34, with scale of 120. just because the boundary is too small it show as SOLID.
How to keep the location and orientation of the “text” to the left of the “mirrored” elements?
In the screenshots below, I wanted to mirror the drawing but still I need to have the “text” to the left of the mirrored objects with the same settings and orientation.
Is there a way to do that?
To overcome this particular need, I mirror the drawing in the regular way then playing abit to let the text appears the way I like them to be.
I use a user-defined hatch often - just 45 degree lines say 4" apart in model space. In 2009 I could make this annotative and the paper distance between those lines would remain the same as long as I made sure the hatch had the appropriate annotive scales associated with it.
In 2012 when I try to do the same thing, the hatch stays at the same Model space spacing in every viewport even though the viewports have different annotative scale AND the hatch has matching annotative scales.
I'm having problems with creating PDF's and transparency hatching using DWG to PDF.pc3.
The PDF does show transparency but has a fine lined pattern at intervals in the hatched area, it does print just fine though with no evidence of the lined pattern. Only problem is most of our work is supplied as high quality PDF.
I prefer to use DWG to PDF.pc3 due to the excellent quality of the PDF. I have played with modified Adobe PDF.pc3 to mostly remove the lines from the hatch but quality suffers in the bitmapping of the document.
I am using AutoCAD Map3D 2011 and AutoCAD 2011 on a windows 7 boxes and Acrobat X Pro. I get this problem with normal solid hatching and SHP file polygon transparency.
Are they any secret/magic settings to fix solid hatch transparency using DWG to PDF.pc3?
How do you get the spacing you want for a hatch? For example if using ANSI 31if under pattern scale you have 1.0 what spacing does 1.0 represent? If you want your lines 1'-0" apart how to you know what scale to use other than trail and error?
I'm using Autocad 2012. I've created a 3D model, one of the components of the solids model, I've assigned a transparency value t which appears in the model, and in the orthographic layout view, and plotted as I need and expect it to. The problem I'm having is that in other layout views, other components include a Dots hatch (I've inserted this dots hatch pattern in both paper and model space in attempt to fix the problem). This Dots hatch appears as I need and expect on the computer screen, but when I plot the layout drawing this hatch pattern plots transparent too, even though it resides on completely different layer than the solid component that I do want transparent. I want the hatch pattern to plot opaque, not transparent (in other words the dots appear very, very light....almost invisible when I plot).
I just updated my computer and reloaded my Autocad lt 2011 onto my new computer. I went from windows XP to Windows 8. Anyway when I go to the hatch command and try to set the hatch scale it won't take the scale and defaults back to 1 or 1". Is there a setting I need to address? I never had this problem in my old computer.
I have been using AutoCAD Civil 3D lately but went to use my AutoCAD 2011 I noticed I have no hatch patterns. I thought that these patterns were located in the support folder so I got my DVD that has the program on it out and was going to reload AutoCAD to fix the problem. It would not reload it so I copied the support folder to my computer in the AutoCAD file and still nothing. What can I do to get my hatch patterns back?
I just upgraded our office from 2010 (architecture package) to 2011 and I was very excited to use the new hatch improvements, but whenever I try to use the hatch command I don't get the contextual tab. I tried playing around with HPDLGMODE, and I can get the old style dialog box, but I was really looking forward to having all that on the ribbon. I looked in the CUI and I found the hatch creation one, and it's empty. I also noticed that many other contextual tabs are empty. I think maybe it's because of some setting I had it import from my previous release maybe?
We have multiple seats where I work (I'm in charge of everything computer related) and mine is the only one where this happens. Everyone one else that I set up has the contextual tab.
Should I just reinstall it without pulling in my settings and re-build my ribbon the way I had it?
For example, the hatch below consist of lines but the “Osnap” can’t see them! Then when trying to draw a line for the point indicated below to the end of the one of the hatch lines then the snap doesn’t indicate the “Endpoint”
In 2010 I would select hatch, and then just drag grips around to where I needed them. Now in 2011, I select hatch and don't get the grips. How do I turn those grips back on?
With transparencydisplay=1 I create hatch with transparency (for example) 80%, I save file and I close it. When I re-open the same file hatch have transparency 0%. What's the problem?
He's got a series of roadway plans where the North arrow shows up fine on some sheets, but the fill (solid hatch) in the arrows doesn't display on others. The arrows are blocks, all the elements in the block are on layer "0" (zero).and the blocks reside in model space.
Just for grins. I had him expand a viewport (where the arrow looks fine) to capture a problematic arrow and... it looks fine. So, it's not an arrow/block/layer issue. It's a viewport issue.
Whenever I double-click on a single line of text, I get an AutoCAD message "Unable to find main dictionary. Could not start speller." I am using AutoCAD 2012. I have not changed to the path in my main customization file. It is:

I opened a drawing that I had not opened in over a month originally created in AutCAD 2011, and now using 2012. It appears only some of the hatch patterns that I created are now duplicated, and in some cases up to 17 times! When I select the pattern it doesn't show that there are multiple hatches underneath, but when selected it shows in the properties box All(2) or more. One of my patterns was scaled down and rotated 90 degrees and because when I select it it's showing 10 entities selected I cannot scale it back or rotate it without deleting and re-hatching. The .dwg is pretty complex so doing this for every hatch that shows multiple would be very tedious.
