AutoCAD 2013 :: More Than 10000 Hatch Boundary Objects Are Selected
Apr 9, 2013
“More than 10000 hatch boundary objects are selected”,
In the attached screenshot, I wanted to make hatch for the indicated boundary but I got the message shown in the second screenshot (“More than 10000 hatch boundary objects are selected”)
The dwg file is stored in the link below:

What is wrong with having any number of hatch boundary objects?
I have a hatch (ANSI31) enclosed by a closed polyline. Whenever I change the hatch from ANSI31 to GRAVEL some of the hatch shows up outside the boundary. The Polyline consists of both arcs and line segments, and the hatching errors are occurring within the radius of the arc segments. Changing it from Associative to Non Associative makes no change.
I'm been unable to find what controls the display of the boundary of a section (volume type) object. A section object that does not show it's boundary, when copied to another file shows the boundary.
Same layer states, visual styles, and other setting between both files. There must be some setting I'm overlooking... but a search of the so-called help file was not very informative.
Is it possible to bring hatch above all the other objects and cover everything there is below? Even if I go from hatch edit to draw order and bring it to fornt the elements below hatch are still visible also transparency is "by layer" and is set to 0
I'm having a minor issue with Autocad 2013 at the moment. I use the Quick Properties box to change a lot of my object properties, but since changing from 2012 to 2013, I have noticed QP doesn't recognise the selection of any objects.
At my office, we are experiencing a major malfunction with AutoCAD and server based files. I believe it is due to a server restructuring that occurred last week and we are having troubles since then.
Basically, on some drawings, all I need to do is select a HATCH object (of any size) and AutoCAD crashes. The same behavior is exhibited when editing an MTEXT object or, say, a dimension TEXT. I was also able to recreate the crash by typing STYLE, trying to edit the text STANDARD template, and essentially anything having to do with "simplex.shx."
I have a problem in that a customer drawing, actually several cutomer drawings are not closed polylines. tHEY ARE REASONABLY SIMPLE PROFILES THAT i NEED TO CUT OUT ON A CNC ROUTER. mY PROBLEM BEING THAT AS THEY ARE NOT CLOSED the router software will not recognise them properly. Is there anyway to find out where exactly on the profile the gap is with zooming right in and panning around?
I've attached a screenshot of the issue I'm dealing with. I have a closed polyline and when I first hatch the area it appears to be correct, but then I'll go do another command and then the hatch seems to extend beyond the boundaries of the polyline.
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?
I am trying to find a command that will hatch the inner edge of a complex closed poly line, rather than hatch the entire area inside the poly line.
When I have simple shapes such as a rectangle I create a smaller rectangle inside the first that is 1' (or whatever I want my hatched area to be) smaller on all sides than the first rectangle. I hatch by selecting the two rectangles; I change the "Associative" hatch property to "No" and then delete the inner rectangle.
My problem now is that I have a complex closed poly line that I would like to hatch the inner perimeter with a set thickness, say 1 foot. Is there an easy way to hatch a inner boundary of a closed poly line or to recreate a scaled down copy of the poly line that is a set distance smaller all around. I hope I have conveyed the question clearly enough.
Annoying time spend waiting while acad automatically detects hatch boundary? - usually a boundary of some sort, thats completely useless anyway.
I'm seeking full control and want to select the boundaries myself and hope some of you can tell how to switch off or avoid this automatic process of boundary detection that usually follows "h" ↵ ( "hatch" ↵ or "bhatch" ↵ ).
i am trying to put a hatch down and am gettin this error 'Valid hatch boundary not found'. now am quite sure the area is enclosed so as far as i can see their should be an issue. the areas autocad is referring me to are are link together and have been replaced but i still get the same issue, when i max out the zoom their is only a tiny dot
I have a line drawing from a draftsman. It was imported from some other program, but I'm not sure which. However, this has cropped up many times over the years on my drawings as well as others. It just is typically quickly remedied with a workaround.
The hatch spacing too dense issue requiring me to break up the area: this problem will occur on equally sized areas at the same zoom factor at which I just hatched an adjacent area. I have changed the "MaxHatch" variable environment from stock at 10k, to 100k, then to 1,000k; yet the problem persists. I don't have a particularly fast machine so by that point I decided there was no need to max the variable at 10,000k. There are no z variables in the drawing though it appears, almost randomly, to have plines or lines along the same length of wall.
The second issue is the closed boundary. This occurs on lines that are connected at all corners, even when I stretch and reconnect a line, though that is a very time consuming method. When I increase the hgaptol variable it will hatch bizzarre areas that have no relation to what I am attempting to hatch. This is also occuring even inside a REC that I created just prior to hatching due to error on the original layout. I have to hatch an object rather than select an internal point. It has become so obnoxious in this drawing that I decided to post with these questions.
I have several days of experience with Autocad 2010... The problem: I have many (a lot) polylines in my 2D drawing that are adjacent to each other, but not joined. What is a good way of joining them, so that those that "touch" each other become one? Maybe I can hatch the area, then delete polylines and then reconstruct the boundary?
Just downloaded Autocad 2013 and am missing quite a few of the standard hatches (siding, soldier, board and batten, etc.) What should I do to get them back. When I open old drawings with these hatches in them, they load just fine...but I am unable to hatch any new areas with these hatches (because they are not listed in the hatch library)
I am having issues with files in Acad that were originally created as VWX files. The boundary command will not work on solid objects from a top view as it does with Acad created objects. Also, I cannot dimension any rounded surfaces because they are splines. Are there any workarounds to these issues?
In ACAD 2013 When selecting a block that is xclipped the xclip boundary is visible as a dashed, editable line. The editable dashed line is also selectable even though it is not visible when the block is not selected.
Is there a way to turn off the selectablity of the xclip boundary, so that I am not selecting blocks when I click near the xclip boundary limits even when I have my XCLIPFRAME set to 0 and the boundary is not visible?
I am unable to click on the "recreate boundary" button within the Hatch and Gradient box. It is grayed out. I can type "generateboundaryhatch" and that will work, but I like being able to click on the button while I am in the dialogue box rather than typing in the command.
On Ai CS3, while working with clipping masks I've been used to select masked objects with the direct selection tool, even the ones that fall outside the mask boundary.I can't do so with the CC version of Ai. Instead I have first to select it with the lasso tool. One can do so as well with the layers or else by selecting edit contents in the control box.So it's actually possible, but since I edit masked objects quite often those extra-steps are just annoying.
Would be in the preferences or else some option to fix it? Or do I have to make do with some bias..
How to give “no color” for the boundary of the layout?
I wanted to give the boundary of the lay out “no color” or “white” such that it disappears as the drawing is printed out but couldn’t figure out how to achieve it.
Also, I’m not sure if there are some other styles for the boundary of the lay out
i need to know if there is any way to control the points in the point cloud.
1. either only import the point cloud in a polyline area i specify
2. add all the points within a boundary not limited to the pointclouddensity = 100, freaking default is 15 almost cost my job today. extremely stressed out right now.
i am talking about extreme lidar surveys. 1km 1km LAS/0.5m contours/xyz files times 355 of them. covers a 2km wide corridor. but i only need 100m wide after i define the road alignment. no need to have all the extra points.
right now i densify the heck out of it and end up like 5-12m points. decent but not good enough because the geotech is bitching about that accuracy is not good for some feasibility study. or is there any software i can do this besides civil 3d.
what i want can also do is automate the 'add points to surface" under point cloud and have the software do multiple boundaries without having me baby it over the night. right now every click is 5 minutes and adds like 400k to 1 million points. Civil 3D 2012
I have been migrating dozens and dozens of .pat files from one version of AutoCAD to the next for many, many versions. Most recently in AutoCAD 2013 the .pat files were stored in the C:Program FilesAutodeskAutoCAD 2013SupportPatterns - worked fine. During the migration to 2014 I received an install error report stating that this subdirectory did not exist and could not be created. Alternately it stated that the new default path C:UsersUsernameAppDataRoamiongAutodesk|AutoCAD 2014R19.1enuSupport will be used instead.
At first I created the Patterns subdirectory where it could not be done automatically. No luck. Then I placed the Patterns subdirectory in C:UsersUsernameAppDataRoamiongAutodesk|AutoCAD 2014R19.1enuSupportPatterns and no luck.
I might be missing somehting completely, but I am reading with Civil 3D 2013 you should be able to clip a Point Cloud, but I am not seeing the clipping panel under the point cloud tab.
