My boss recently gave me a USB with a huge amount of hatches on it. The hatches are in .pat format. When I opened up AutoCAD (the version I have is AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011), and typed in "hatch" to have a look at the hatch creation properties box, I can't find where to load a hatch. I am also a bit confused as to where I should save all these new hatches so I can access them easily in the future.

I am trying to load hatch files from StoneCAD. In the past I have been able to take hatch patterns from various sources and locate them in a file within AutoCAD LT, then use them without issue.
I have never touched a .pat file or written anything in notepad or word, just simply copied the .dxf files to a file on my computer and was able to use them through AutoCAD LT 2009. Recently I had to reload the software and I can't figure out where I would go to put these hatch files.
I have added my custom hatch patterns to the .pat file and they aren't showing up. Is there a certain step I am missing in order for this to work? Is there an easier way to load my custom hatches in CAD 2010 that I am not aware of?

Now I wrote the following code using the above data as follows

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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to add a Block Reference to a hatch. I'm adding the block reference to an ObjectIdCollection and the hatch is not taking it when using AddLoop().
So I thought maybe I needed to add the location of the polyline (curve-like) object that is member of the blockreference to the hatch, but I don't know how to get its ObjectId.
Hatch thisHatch = new Hatch();thisHatch.Layer = layerName;thisHatch.SetDatabaseDefaults();thisHatch.SetHatchPattern(patternType, patterName);thisHatch.Color = Color.FromColorIndex(ColorMethod.ByColor, colorIndex);thisHatch.Transparency = new Transparency((Byte)(255 * (100 - 60) / 100));tSpace.AppendEntity(thisHatch);transaction.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(thisHatch, [code]........
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.
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.

Is there anyway to speed up the loading time. Like some code that will tell it load specific number of frames first and then load the rest in the background?

View 1 Replies View RelatedCurious as to how to load the 3D Modeling workspace so that I can access the editing features and whatnot without having to type in the commands. I have seen a few different questions dealing with this issue, they pretty much said to into the "custom user interface", click on the transer tab and then path to the support folder where you would load the "acad.cuix" file and drag the 3D Modeling Workspace over to the left hand side. The issue I'm having is that when I path to the folder with all the different ".cuix" files there isn't a plain "acad.cuix" file to be found and none of the other options offer any sort of 3D Modeling Workspace?

View 9 Replies View Relatedthis newbie question. I could not figure it out how to do this.
I found a sample project named RibbonSample in which by running a command, a new tab will be added to the ribbon.
I am trying to have that tab added upon loading the dll. So I added that command in the constructor of the dll, by "
SendStringToExecute" command. But the new tab did not show up. Then I added the method which creates the tab in the constructor, and I found the same thing. In both cases, when I type the command for creating the ribbon tab, a second tab, along with the first tab I added in the constructor, show up.
So I guess two possible options I have: first, find a way to make the new ribbon tab to be shown at first place, when the dll is loaded. Second, to find a way to postpone running a command added in the constructor of the dll, until the dll is loaded, so it can run like when I type it.
We have about 25 workstations on our partner company, with the exact hardware and software configuration. We have 2 workstations with problem, but the other 23 are fine. The problem is those 2 is taking to long when loading.
I tried to load the program without loading template (startup to 0) it loads fine. The problem starts after it loads template or existing file. I can tell it's not the file problem, because after we open a file successfully, any other file after that opens normally. So there must be another process after loading the first file.
I suspected there is an addon program that cause this. Is there a way we can see what processes are running on command line (like in Windows command console), so we can find what cause this?
I think this might also because they are using ACAD MAP3D 2010, which are not certified for Windows 7 64bit on their machine.
I have started getting the message 'The configured Heidi driver was not loaded. Switching to the default software driver.'
This seems to happen when opening a drawing but sometimes at random.
I have loaded autocad 2013 on several workstations. On one machine, I seem to be having trouble with the .pgp file not loading. Ordinarily when typing in "O", i get offset but for some reason, it changes my cursor to orbit and asks to "select an object".
This is only happening on one machine. Other commands work but customized ones do not.
I need to load 11 xref in my project but seems like in autocad 2013 more than 10 xref is not allowed, it keeps on rejecting the 11th reference without prompting any error.
I have tried to save the drawings in lower version and do the same procedure and it works, i therefore conclude that the issue is with 2013 version.
saving in lower version everytime we receive new xref is really time consuming and painful for hundred of drawings.
I have a user that just recently discovered that the add-in manager does not load any more. I has been working fine for some time.

Of course this effects all of the ad-ins including the CC and the vault.
I can log in as administrator and everything works fine so the install is good. I'm assuming it's got something to do with his user account settings and on that vein I tried to delete his Autodesk settings in both the registry and his user folder but with no luck.
