AutoCad :: Hatch Does Not Seem To Stretch
Aug 16, 2011I use "Add: Pick Points" to hatch my elevations. The hatch does not seem to stretch when I need to stretch the elevations. Is there a way to make it stretch?

View 4 RepliesI have been having an issue with my hatches, especially when I use solid. I always make them associative but when I have to move an object using stretch, the hatch does not come along with it.
When I hatch an item I generally use the "pick points" option. Do I need to be using select objects?
I foolishly thought i'd sorted making hatch work within a dynamic block that requires user input to set length and width of block...the hatch would fill to the revised size when the user sets the length and width in the properties dialogue...woohoo. Off I go home from work having defeated the nemesis of the day.
Open up my drawing today and can I get the hatch to act as it did yesterday?
I built my block (a simple rectangle all told) added my parameters in block editor. length and width linear actions with 0 grips as I don't want stretching by grips. Added the stretch actions. Tested the block (without hatch)...working. Only then did I hatch, so into block editor and using associative, send to back, normal island detection and selecting the rectangle to hatch. tested block ...working. great. Inserted the block into new drawing...working.
Opened AutoCAD today...Not working...hatch remaining as original size
Tried building new block exactly as I did yesterday...no joy...
On a side note...it works if I leave grips on but only if I use the grips to activate the hatch (it still doesn't work by just typing into properties though) that's not going to cut it as I don't want to be telling everyone to wiggle the grips so to speak.
How do I stretch a hatch in dynamic block? It does not seem to work if I select the hatch along with other lines of a counter block.

I have created a dynamic block. Herein I placed stretch actions parameter set to strecht parts including anotative text.
Now the block seems to work fine.
- When I am in modelspace and I change the annotation scale the text is changed correct
- When I am in modelspace and I change the stretch value of the dynamic block everything goes fine.
But when I am in modelspace and I change the stretch value in one of the annotiaton scales and then switch to another scale my text is changed annotativly (this is what I want) but the stretch value is set back to default (which should be at the changed value).
I am trying to entmake a hatch entity from a hatch template.
After entget the template hatch entity, i get the followings
Select object: ((-1 . <Entity name: 7ed11b78>) (0 . "HATCH") (330 . <Entity

Now I wrote the following code using the above data as follows
(entmake (list (cons 0 "HATCH") (cons 67 0) (cons 410 "Model") (cons 8 "SECTION-LABEL") (cons 62 255) (cons 10 (list 0.0 0.0 0.0)) (cons 210 (list 0.0 0.0 1.0)) (cons 2 "SOLID") (cons 70 1) (cons 71 0) (cons 91 1) (cons 92 1) (cons 93 8) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt1) (cons 11 pt2) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt2) (cons 11 pt3) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt3) (cons 11 pt4) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt4) (cons 11 pt5) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt5) (cons 11 pt6) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt6) (cons 11 pt7) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt7) (cons 11 pt8) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt8) (cons 11 pt1) (cons 97 0) (cons 75 0) (cons 76 1) (cons 98 1) (cons 10 (list 0.0 0.0 0.0)) (cons 450 0) (cons 451 0) (cons 460 0.0) (cons 461 0.0) (cons 452 1) (cons 462 1.0) (cons 453 2) (cons 463 0.0) (cons 63 5) (cons 421 255) (cons 463 1.0) (cons 63 7) (cons 470 "LINEAR")))
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.

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)
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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSimple problem: When I select a line, normally three grips appear; the ends and the middle. Normally, when I want to stretch (resize) a line I click one end and simply drag it to the desired location. Often it *snaps* to another nearby grip point, the middle selected grip, a line that it crosses, etc. If I zoom in I normally can put the grip any where I want to. It has worked fine up until this morning. Last night when I closed the program it worked perfectly...first thing this morning it doesn't work at all. Restarting the program and the computer had no effect.
The grip will only snap to the other origin (making it zero length) and other random points nearby. I cannot make it a random length...it must snap to those other points, and it *will not* snap to the middle point of the line, which I do all of the time.
Did I accidentally hit a CTRL+ or ALT+ key-stroke which has changed the abilities to snap?
I'm trying to add dimension with the stretch actions.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a few horizontal lines parallel to each other. I'd like to make all of those horizontal lines longer by multiplying their length by a factor (let's say 2)
The scale command doesn't work as I intent, since it makes the spacing between those lines "x" times greater as well.
Which command should I use?

I draw ventilation ductwork all day at work, just recently stumbled across dynamic blocks.
Attached is what i have done so far, the straight section works perfectly, just having some trouble with the radius bend. What I need is for the arc to stretch with the angle of the bend.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have accidentally cut on some function in autocad that I can't figure out how to cut it off. Now when I select an object, it has a UCS icon (red arrow & green arrow) in the center of the object and you can stretch the object by using the arrow or the box in the middle.
View 6 Replies View RelatedCurrently when I pick a grip at the end of a polygon line and type a length, the polygon goes to that length.
Is there a setting anywhere that changes this behavior to add the typed length to the polygon, hence stretching it to this new length. This would be the same as lengthen when drawing with lines.
how do I turn off the new "stretch" vertices?
I am finding that I click to select a line, and start typing commands, only to find out they aren't registering b/c I have selected that un-needed extra vertex in the middle of every pline segment.
I have checked the Options, and cannot find how to turn those off. They were not in 2008.

I`ve a problem when i`m using the stretch commend, for istance to move the position of a wall opening done with a poliline and there`s a door or a window block within the stretch area, this object stays in the original position whereas the lines has already been streched. This makes that I`ve to move manually the block to the new position. Is there any way to stretch objects and blocks together?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've created a dynamic block with listed increments e.g. 36, 42, 48 inches width. The dynamic window block that comes with autocad has the same incremental stretch.
This block shows the tick marks as well as a the value in a dynamic input box. How can I have the value displayed in my custom dynamic block. All I have is the "tick" marks.
why the width parameter is only moving one side of the column. I drew both stretch actions following the same steps, then changed the multipliers to .5 and -.5 and only one of them moves. I've redone the block twice so what is going on here?

I have a problem with dynamic blocks.
I have inserted a dynamic block (with .NET) and changed the value of a dynamic parameter (Linear). The block is stretched as it should be. (no problems here).
After a fiew other routines, I select the block again (by using its objectID) and a want to get the coördinates of the grip of the linear dynamic paramter. Is there a way to get the coördinates based on the linear dynamic parameter and its grip points? code in vb.Net?

I accidentally got constraints in my present drawing and could not get rid of them. pls give me a hand on how to delete them. it is causing me a problem when for example i need to stretch a line that have a point (which makes part of the line) the point moves together with the line which means the original coordinate of the point is lost. THIS MUST NOT HAPPEN. i work with precise coordinates which means the coordinates of points should be kept as originals and NOT TO MOVE ELSEWHERE.
I notice i was using the multiple stretch with C option when I noticed the problem started and after that i had constraints sticked on all the lines.
How to get rid of constraints?
Is there a way to use the stretch command like this?First I select the object. type stretch, when i make my selection window the stretch points of only that object get selected and not of other polylines which are inside my selection box.
