AutoCad 2D :: How To Change Default Hatch Pattern From ANSI31
Mar 5, 2008
Is there any way to change the default hatch patern from ANSI31?
the default hatch is WAY too small for sitework & tends to bog things down if you forget to set the hatch pattern first.
I tried HPNAME but that seems to be session dependent & doesn't work if set in the default template.
I'm about >< this far from just editing the ANSI31 definition - I know this is NOT a good idea but I hate having things freeze up whenever I forget to set the hatch pattern & hatch a 20' wide X 1000" long firelane with ANSI31 at scale 1.
I have several objects in a drawing. These objects are placed on a layer: "Layerhatch". These objects all have a hatch pattern: "solid". Now I want with vba that the pattern of this objects change from "solid"into "ANSI31". (For example with a button).
I have tried this with a adadselectionset but it doesn't work.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim tSelSet As AcadSelectionSet Set tSelSet = getSelSetByLayer("Layerhatch") If tSelSet Is Nothing Then MsgBox ("No Selectionset") ElseIf tSelSet.Count = 0 Then MsgBox ("No objects found on Layer "Layerhatch") Else
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 running Civil 3D 2010. I have hatch a bunch of areas with the gravel pattern hatch. However, they are at different scales. When I try to change the scale I get a totally different hatch pattern. I have attached a screen shot showing my problem. Hatch picture.pdf
I need to change the hatch size (not the pattern scale or space, juste the hatch size).
Exemple : I have a circle, and a hatch inside the circle. The radius of the circle is 10, so the radius of the hatch is 10 too.
What i want to do is to make the hatch smaller (or bigger) like this : Circle radius : 10, Hatch Radius 5 (or 15).
My first idea was to recreate a new circle with radius 5, and a new hatch inside and then erase the second circle. It works, but not very effective in my case.
So, it's why i came here to ask if there is any solutions to make this faster, easier, without having to recrate another hatch, another circle...
For some reason I can't change the hatch pattern scale prior to hatching an object although after placing the hatch I can. The procedure I am using is as follows in LT2011. Select hatch, set the hatch style, over type the scale say to 100, click inside the area to hatch. Immediately the hatch pattern scale sets itself back to 1 I then have to type 100 back in and then the hatching will be set.
I am completely new to ilogic but would like to make a rule in my idw file that change the hatch pattern in a section of a specific material.
Short Version:
I have an aluminum extrusion part. Material is set to Aluminum-6061. In any section view of this part I want the hatch to be ANSI 31 with a rotation of 45 degrees and a scale of .02 How do I do this?
I recently downloaded new hatch pattern that were not in the AtoCAD hatch list and I really need..step to install them to the hatch list so AutoCAD can recognize them?
I have a bit of code that I use to create hatches but the names are just coded inside (like "BRICK" or "CLAY"); I would like to list all available patterns for the curent drawing(on a form, using a combobox, etc), which is the best way to go?
I have a hatch Pattern 'DOTS' (A default AutoCAD Pattern) filled in an area in my drawing. The layer is plottable. The pattern is in proper scale (I have attached a screen shot). Now, when I publish a PDF, though it shows up in the preview, it is missing in the pdf.
The hatch appears correct on the screen, but when printing there are voids created on the printout. These voids appear in different areas for each print. Our plotter is HPT790, that has all the software updates.
I have Autocad Architecture 2014 installed on my office PC and Laptop.A drawing with a hatch pattern set to a scale of 1 on my laptop needs to be changed to a scale of 25.4 to look the same on my PC. Both versions of ACA are US metric.
I have a CAD station that is having all sorts of issues all of a sudden. When one of our architects opens her drawings she gets the "Hatch - Large, Dense Hatch Patterns" dialogue box.
When I we choose the "Do not convert these hatch patterns" and open the drawing, it converts all the hatch patterns to solid anyway. This is mostly affecting the walls and converting all the hatch into one solid blob of a hatch.
One weird thing is this only happens in the medium detail display configuration. I can go to any other display and it is fine. The other weird thing is that these same drawings open fine on any other computer so it has to be a system problem.
The other gremlin I solved yesterday was that the system all of a sudden was not recognizing the LTYPESHP.SHX file. I had to add the DataCache support folder containing a ltypeshp.shx file to the support file search path.
When I add the hatch pattern to the tool palette and then try to use it, it defaults the boundaries add command to pick points. Is there a way i can have it default to select objects?
I need to create a hatch pattern for a flooring tile that we have currently starting using and I am having real issues getting it to work!! The pattern is meant to be tiles set in a brick type style but with a rolling offset, but the tiles are different sizes - I have one row of 300x600, then a second row of 148 x 600, then another row of 300x600, then another 300x600, then a row of 148x 600, followed by another 148x600. This is the pattern end and needs to repeat itself. I have attached a line drawing of what it needs to look like.
I can get a very basic line drawing showing 300mm and 148mm for the first two lines but then it all goes wrong!
I'm trying to import a stone hatch pattern from the Internet but every time I try to import it into my hatch gallery it says error in pattern file. would like a couple different hatch patterns to show my customers rather than just brick.
Any way to keep from selecting a hatch pattern every time...
So like we have all these solid hatches that they need to see for these park maps and stuff, but I can never use the cursor to select the text or objects on top of the hatch. it is on a locked layer so that it does no move, but it still will only select the hatch when i try to click and drag a box over items in order to pick multiple items to move them all at once.
I know there are pick styles and pick first options but I like the way I have everything set up I just want my cursor to ignore the hatch patterns.
