AutoCAD Architecture :: Hatch Set Origin Button Properties Have Changed
Jan 16, 2013
Typically when I click on the Set Origin button, all I then have to do is click on the page where I want the hatch origin to be, and everything works just fine.
I work on a shared computer. Start working this morning, and now when I click on the Set Origin button, it prompts me to inform it "SIngle or SUbobject?". And through a number of further selections, I can eventually get around to selecting my origin and having things shift around properly. But that really slows me up. Seems like one of the system variables got changed. I've doodled around a bit online, but haven't been able to find how to get things back to how they used to be.
And I tried opening a new page, restarting the program, etc., and the new way the button works has taken hold. I can't get it to reset. So on my computer (not working properly) when you click on the Set Origin button, the command line says "Command: _-hatchedit select hatch objects..select hatch objects: _S" then it says "ambiguous response, please clarify" "SIngle or SUbobject?"
On the computers that are working properly it only displays the "select hatch objects: _O" and doesn't show the _S part.
As in the title, expected result in attached drawing. I'm trying to change Origin X /Y, but that doesn't change the origin of the hatch. It there a setting that controls it?
Greetings, frequently I need to identify the origin of a previously applied custom hatch pattern for use in a different area of the same drawing, is there a way to have the origin displayed and/or view its coordinates in 2009LT?
I had hoped that I could select multiple hatched areas & view their orgin points through "properties" & verify that the points of origin all align (in either the x or y axis), but this doesnt seem to be the case.

Ideally, I'd like to draw a line or circle from the origin of the original hatch
I have a simple brick like hatch that is set to have a full tile at the origin of the hatch. All is well when the hatch is horizontalbut when the hatch is rotated within the hatch edit box it loses the origin and it won't set with a full tile.
How can I get the origin to be the same at any angle and the hatch start with a full tile????????
How to locate the 'starting point' for hatch patterns and filled regions? I am laying the hatch in a bathroom and I want the pattern (which is representing tile) to start in a particular corner.
Somehow the Properties Palette has gotten less wide- such that I can't read teh actual properties. Previously I was able to make it wider just by hovering over it, clicking on an arrow and dragging it wider. Not now.
It's not just the layer that isn't being displayed in the Properties Palette. My 2014 Properties Palette isn't contextual--displays only the general info--none of the object specific information.
Working in AutoCAD 2013LT-my Layer Properties Manager has stopped allowing me access. When I open a drawing layers all come however I get a pop-up note that says: "ALL LAYERS ARE ALREADY INCLUDED IN THIS LAYER STATE. NO LAYERS CAN BE ADDED"
What happened-even when I try to edit layers they will not show up in the Properties Manager as changed.
when i export (or explode) my plan every window, doors etc... split in more "under-blocks", and that's ok. but i have a problem with the windows: after the explode command, one of the blocks inside (the one that shows the opening side) "jump" in the 0,0,0 coordinates point, but all the others remain in the right position.
PS: i think the problem is not in the window-block, because i tried it in another old file, and it works. and the autocad option are also always the same.
1) I do not have as many hatch patterns available to me in the "Other Predefined" tab as my colleagues do on their computers. I also do not have custom hatch patterns listed.
2) The "Inherit Properties" button doesn't work on my computer so I cannot even match the hatch pattern if I copy a drawing in from another file.
This problem is making it difficult for me to finish my work in a timely manner as I have to run to someone else's computer when I need to hatch something.
When I open a project or family file (new or old) the properties palette is not the one I am used to seeing. Usually one can view sheets, 3D views, and elevations in a project file and (while I have located some of these options in the tool bar) they are not located conveniently on the properties palette as usual. When I open a family file, I can usually go to different elevations and create extrusions/model from different views. There is currently no option for viewing different elevations and when I go to toggle in a 3D view I can't go back to the reference plan (the only view I can model in). Attached are images of what I currently see as my properties palette. If there is a way to get the normal one back,
I am using Autocad LT 2011 and when i press the hatch button it shows the comment 'not responding' at the top of the page and it takes about 15-20 seconds to repsond and when it does eventually respond it doesn't allow me to change the scale until after i have chosen an area which in some case proves a problem if the scale is very small.
When doing a match properties from one hatch to another, I end up with two hatches having identical properties (pattern, scale, etc) but that look completely different. See the attached image.
I tried the old snapbase trick and also tried various hatch origin settings, but without success.
Just on to ACA 2014 and noticed many of the detail tabs missing. No longer interior, exterior, etc. tabs and can't find how to replace them. Also Detail compnent manager toolbar icon gone and can't find command in CUI?
I cannot select origin to constrain sketch with dimension to origin?
I selected Sketch, expanded origin, selected mywork plan (xy) drew rectangle, input dims, right click for marking menu, selected dimensions, Origin is yellow,
cannot select it and then edge of rect to set dim that will center sketch on origin? Just like the videos show, but cannot select origin>
Background Hatch Color Properties? When using a background color in a hatch pattern... is it possible to set transparancy and/or screening options when using an *.stb file?
If I were using a *.ctb file it would be obvious, but I'm doing contract work for a client and am using their *.stb file, and I don't have the option of adding another option to their *.stb file.
Why is it that whenever i use a command for pan and match properties, the hatch from the other areas do not display but when i exit the command the hatch is there. the problem is you cannot match the properties of from one hatch to another.

I like to use inherit properties a lot when hatching. Now it also grabs the layer and I prefer that to be bylayer always, like before when this (imo useless) option was not implemented. Does any trick to get rid of this feature I don't want.
I'd like to locate the PROPERTIES button in the Home Panel instead of, or in addition to, the View Panel. When I go into CUI, it won't let me move/copy it.
LT 2014 Menu Buttons missing from top of Layer Properties Manager Window (see attachment).Works fine in LT 2013. What changed between the two versions that causes this?
I am using AutoCAD Architecture 2012. While using the hatch command, the contextual tab pulled up in the ribbon as expected. But when I went to pick an internal point AutoCAD froze. After closing ACAD and trying to open the drawing again it asked me to recover the drawing because of errors. After recovering the drawing the ribbon still had the contextual hatch tab in it although if you try and hatch ACAD will freeze again.
So as it sits now, no matter how many times you open or close the drawing the contextual hatch tab will not go away and is not functional. If you try and hatch the drawing crashes. I have duplicated the problem on multiple computers so I know its not a problem with my computer as much as it is a problem with this particular drawing.
