Hatch Problem in AutoCad LT 2002
Hatch Problem in AutoCad LT 2002
(OP)
Okay, here's one for the group...
Periodically, I will hatch something and the Hatch Pattern will be completely messed up in a drawing. For example, the HONEY hatch will just be a bunch of lines that don't actually connect to form a honeycomb pattern. Once this happens, hatch patterns never work right again in that drawing.
Now, here's where it gets weird. I can open a new drawing, do the exact same hatch there and it will work. I can then copy the hatch back to the old drawing where it looks just fine. Unfortunately, if I try to edit the hatch in any way, its completely screwed up again.
Any ideas? This is driving me nuts.....

hatches are very sensitive.
Did You try "_audit"?
What's about MEASUREINIT and MEASUREMENT? The same for both?

MEASUREINIT and MEASUREMENT are both the same (1).
Thanks for the help so far.. hopefully we'll get this figured out yet...

Firstly, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) your drawing file is imported from other software (may be microstation).
Secondly, your drawing limits is too small.
Actually the solution is very easy, first resetting your drawing limits, for example to 12000,9000. Then you move all the drawing into new drawing limits. Problem solved ...Happy resetting new drawing limits .

now I understand the problem (thanks CAEman). The problem is maybe, that the objects are to far away from the point 0,0,0. Surveyor know this problem, if they draw with the Krueger-Gauss-system. Solution: Move the boundaries to 0,0,0 -> hatch -> move back.

1. Set either the UCS origin or SNAPBASE near the problem hatch. (UCS>>N>>[pick origin point])
2. Type Hatchedit and select the hatch.
3. Select OK
