Hatch's gone bad

Hatch's gone bad

Hatch's gone bad

(OP)
When I use a hatch pattern at coordinates 0,0,0 everything looks great. If I use a hatch anywhere else the hatch looses its patterns and looks like a bunch of broken lines. I can drag and drop, copy or move the hatch to the other location with no ill effect. If I try to edit or create a new one then it’s deformed once again. Please help.

  • hatch at 0,0,0 and move...normally it works
  • use the SV SNAPBASE

RE: Hatch's gone bad

Ive had problems with hatches and never could figure out if it was an actual ACAD problem or just a display problem.

RE: Hatch's gone bad

Temporarily move the drawing origin closer to the area you want to hatch using the UCS command. Then hatch.

RE: Hatch's gone bad

Nice little lisp that takes care of that problem

(defun c:hpf (/ om sb pt)
(setq om (getvar"osmode"))
(setvar "osmode" 15359)
(setq sb (getvar "snapbase"))
(setq pt (getpoint"\nSnap to Any Point on Broken Hatch Pattern: "))
(command "snapbase" pt)
(command"hatchedit" pt "" "" "" "")
(setvar "osmode" om)
(command "snapbase" sb)
(princ)
)

Wish I remembered where this lisp came from...probably here ;)
