NX4: Can't change crosshatching style.
NX4: Can't change crosshatching style.
(OP)
Hello all,
Does anyone know how to permanently modify a crosshatch AFTER it has been created.
Here's the problem:
After creating a section view containing several members, coincidentally some of the members are at the same angle as the crosshatching, so that the crosshatching is either parallel or perpendicular to the edges of the part. I change the angle of the crosshatch using STYLE. I save the file and close. Upon re-opening the file, I discover that the crosshatch reverted to its previous angle, as if I had never altered it.
I realize that it is possible to change the STYLE of the crosshatch BEFORE creating the view, but sometimes that is unsatisfactory as well, because whatever angle you change it to, all the crosshatch still looks the same. Sometimes it is desirable to have crosshatching represented differently to distinguish the various parts in the view.
IS THERE A WAY TO MODIFY CROSSHATCHING ON THE FLY AND HAVE IT STAY THAT WAY?
Thanks,

RE: NX4: Can't change crosshatching style.
BTW, I looked in Customer Defaults to find the toggle for this, to turn it off permanently, but couldn't find it. Is it there?
Thanks for your continuing support,

However, never say that we didn't provide you with enough rope to hang yourself
The Customer Default can be found at Drafting -> General -> Standard. Select the standard that you wish to use, then select the buttom labeled 'Customise Standard' and then select View and there is the option that you can toggle OFF.
But just remember, I warned you what would happen if you do toggle it OFF.

The nice thing about toggles is: they go both ways.

RE: NX4: Can't change crosshatching style.
I asked for this a long time ago, (10 years or so), But is there anything in the works for defining x-hatching as a part or model attribute. I work with assemblies that use multiple materials. Having the hatching co-ordinate to the attributed material would be a nice enhancement.
