hatch problems

hatch problems

hatch problems

(OP)
I have sectioned through a tube that has a small tube welded inside it as a plain bearing housing. As this is a single part it is modeled as a part eventhough it is manufactured as a weldment.

To show that it is two parts I have drawn lines in the section view. I have also drawn a small triangle that shows where the weld will be.

The trouble I am having is that I cannot hatch the trialgle on the section view. I can select it as a boundary but it wont hatch.

Please help.

RE: hatch problems

If you click on "area hatch" and then click (under) "Area to hatch" - "Boundary" - Then pick the boundary of the triangle and select your hatch above.

I'm doing this at the drawing level.

RE: hatch problems

(OP)
This works only on a hatch pattern, and even then only on one triangle. As soon as I select solid the hatch is no longer displayed.

The next problem is that I cannot select both triangles.

When I draw them outside the drawing view it all works, drag them into the view and it disappears.

RE: hatch problems

You can only select one boundary at a time, so you would have to put them individually. If the solid disappears, then use a hatch pattern, but make it really fine.

RE: hatch problems

Are you sure the ends of your triangle segments all connect?

RE: hatch problems

Also you may want to see if your video card is supported on the Solidworks site.

If it isn't you may have to upgrade your card. I had a similar experience in a early version of solidworks. The problem was the video card.
