(OP)
In NX8.5 is it possible that when you cross hatch in drafting, it automatically hatches to the type of material assigned to the parts?

RE: Cross hatch

Do you have a cross-hatch pattern defined for every material available in the material database?

I am just using steel and aluminum and they are both in the xhatch.chx file.

RE: Cross hatch

For NX 9.0 we've added that capability (Crosshatching based on the Material assigned to the Components of an Assembly) when creating a Section View in PMI. I don't know when and if this option will be added to the Drawing-based Section views but I'll try and find out and will post an update here.

Thanks John appreciate the info. 2thumbsup

RE: Cross hatch

I have been wondering about having crosshatching associated with the material for quite a while, it is nice to see it added.

RE: Cross hatch

But remember, for now this only applies to lightweight section views created using the PMI tools.
