I'm developing a C# project that exports drawings to DXF. I have almost finished it, but I cannot figure out how to set the background color of a Hatch entity. As I see in some sample DXF files, the background color looks like:

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.

My company is switching from ctb files to stb files. With the ctb file, we make concrete hatch with two layers. A top layer with the concrete hatch pattern and a background layer with a solid hatch patern. The ctb file concrete plots the concete hatch black and the solid background hatch light gray. I am using civil 3d 2013 and the hatch allows a seperate background color mask. I am trying to make all my concrete layers (Top of Curb, Curb Flowline, etc.) a certain color scheme, i.e. shades of green. I would like my on screen concrete hatch patern to be a green color with a gray background, but plot the concrete hatch black with a gray background. I can not figure out how to do this without making two layers. Is there a way to use one layer and utilize the background color mask to show on screen green and gray, but plot black and gray?

From Windows 7 desktop screen, go to personalization and click on Window Color at the bottom of that dialog box. At the bottom of the next dialog box, click on Advanced appearance settings...At the bottom of the next dialog box, under Item: select Inactive Title Bar and change the color to your heart's delight.

I'm running autocad 2013 and it has some nice hatching options, but when I go to plot them with general layers that are setup to plot in black, they print in color. I have a monochrome.ctb file i'm using and if i plot regular lines they are fine.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHow to access the color for a particular hatch within a drawing using iLogic.
I would like to color the hatching for parts based on paramaters besides material.
ie.
Purchased parts = Green Hatch
Refrence = Grey Hatch
I would hope one could loop through the views looking for hatches, and once found, check the part they are associated with, then based on an "if then, change the hatch color and move on to the next pattern.
Because of the problems with wipeouts, I have switched to using some solid hatch set to colour 255. The hatch is in paperspace, sitting under titleblock and other Layout text. I am plotting to an HP1050C, using a .ctb file with 255 set with grayscale off.
The plot preview is fine, but the hatch blocks come out black on paper. I thought this was the problem with wipeouts, and that hatch didn't suffer from it.
How do I get at the hatch objects within a drawing using iLogic?
I would like to be able to customize hatch color based on various part properties.
ie:
Purchased part = Green Hatch
Refrence = Light Grey
and much more
This would be possible if I can get to the hatch object and determin what part it is associated with.
I only see iLogic code that allows you to change visibility of all hatching, and set general hatch angle.
Since I can select a hatch in the drawing and change its color, I assume there is an un-published API object that relates to hatches
I don't give the right keywords with Google !?So from a classic selection (or ALL for ALL Blocks of the DWG) of entities,
we will keep ONLY blocks (Static or Dynamic)I am looking for a Lisp/VLisp routine to update all Color of Hatches inside Blocks when the Hatch Color is xxx If the color hatch is NOT XXX we don't update !
The problem : update all hatch from blocks where Color = 255 (or any other value)
---> other classic Color (1-256)
--> RGB Color 255,255,255 or any other
I don't know at all how to switch hatch entities from classic color to RGB color inside a Block..And dynamic block in Lisp/VLisp are far from my level 0.2 in Lisp ...
I want to know how to make my own hatch from design till puting it in (*.pat) file. for info, I know how can I download such file and upload it in AutoCAd among (CUSTOM) or (OTHER PREDEFINED) hatchs as wel, or make it by using (SUPER HATCH in express tools). But to creat PAT file that what I want to know.

Recently upgrade to ACad 2012 from 2002 and have a Designjet 500 at my office and am having trougble with a dot hatch in .plt files being sent to my printshop.At my office, I'm using a Designjet.pc3 file for both the 2002 and 2012 dwg files and they plot identically, no problem.
In creating a .plt file using a 750c.pc3 file for both 2002 and 2012 files for my printshop, the plt file for 2002 plots fine but the plt file for 2012 omits the dot hatch. Other hatches on both drawing plot fine. In print preview in both ACads both files show the dot hatch. I'm using ABviewer to check the hatch problem so I don't have to keep bothering my printshop about this. With the 2002 plt file it looks fine but in the 2012 plt file the dot hatch is missing. ABviewer shows results consistant w/ my printshop.
Am using identical pc3 files and identical CTB files. This problem goes across all my drawings....all hatches work between 02 and 12 except the dot hatch. All drawings were qsaved into 2012 from 2002 when I ungraded cads.
I have created a new 750c.pc3 file and the problem is found in that as well.Attached are just small samples of the problem showing 2002 and 2012 examples.I can only believe I am missing a setting somewhere in 2012 or there is a problem between 2012 and the 750c print driver.
I am trying to entmake a hatch entity from a hatch template.

The point variables pt1, pt2....pt8 are all defined. But when I run the code the hatch is not being created? Why?
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 am using AutoCAD 2011.
I am in need of a lisp routine which will automatically pick up all hatch and solid hatch patterns within a drawing and change the colour to colour 254.

Also, I'm trying to delete certain HatchLoop that is associated to a polyline but I don't know how to do it. I'm going through the loops in the hatch but I don't know what to do there. I wanna do this so I create a new and different hatch on top.
I think one could also copy all the loops except the one one wants to delete, but I'm not sure how to tell which one is the one I want to delete that is the one associated to a polyline or that is in certain region.
We are using a file created by another company and making additions to it for Interiors. While working in this file we have added some new layers and have begun to hatch new walls. While hatching some of these wall my boss received a message saying that the file had errors. He saved and closed the file at that point. When he re-opened the file a number of lines were missing from the file.
They appear to be completely random - i.e. parts of chairs are missing but not the whole chair, parts of walls but not whole walls. The things missing were not all on the same layer and were not necessarily items that had been hatched.
Note - we are running 2012 and the files were created in 2007
I have AUTOCAD LT 2012 - windows 7 - SP1
Neither the button for Hatching or the Draw Hatch menu do not activate the HATCH DIALOG BOX?
This means I cannot Hatch?
I have also added the Hotfix for the Ribbon and it made no difference.
I've migrated from 2005 to 2014 LT and wondered if they have added to the hatch commands. I've looked and haven't found anything. Is there a command that you can pick a hatch pattern already shown on the drawing and make that pattern the existing one to use? I sometimes have multiple hatch patterns and scales, and wanted a quick way to go from one to another without lisp help.
