Creating a hatching.
Creating a hatching.
(OP)
Hi everyone.
I have a question about hatching.
How do you create a new hatching pattern? My boss wants one that isnt in solidworks.
I didnt find how to do that in the help files or in those forums, is it even possible?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the quick respons, but creating a new material doesnt allow me to create a new hatching texture.

RE: Creating a hatching.
Try this:
Open the SolidWorks DWGEditor.
Draw your hatch pattern that you want.
At the command line, type the command, "mslide"
This will open up a "Create Snapshot" dialog box. Save the slide that you are about to create into the appropriate subdirectory (I think the default is c:\program files\solidworks\dwgeditor\patterns\)
It should, I think, then show up in your list of hatch options.
