CADopia - To specify a predefined hatch pattern

1.       Do one of the following:

·          Choose Insert > Hatch.

·          On the Draw 2D toolbar, click the Boundary Hatch tool ().

·          Type bhatch and then press Enter.

2.       From the Boundary Hatch dialog box, click the Pattern Properties tab.

3.       In the Pattern Type list, click Predefined.

With Predefined, you can apply a scale factor to make the pattern larger or smaller than the default size.

4.       For Scale, enter the scale factor as a percentage of the default.

5.       For Angle, enter the angle of the pattern in degrees (1-360).

The default angle is clockwise; you can change the angle of any hatch pattern by entering a numerical value.

6.       For ISO Pen Width, enter the pen width.

If you choose a predefined, ISO standard pattern, you can scale the pattern based on the ISO pen width.

7.       To copy the pattern properties from an existing hatch, choose Copy Hatch Properties and select the hatch.

8.       To associate the hatch pattern to its boundary entities, under Hatch Attributes, select the Associative check box. An associative hatch updates automatically if you move any of its boundaries.

9.       To continue, add a hatch by doing one of the following:

·          Select the entities you want to add a hatch. Go to Selecting Entities For Hatching and begin with step 2.

·          Select an area or boundary for which you want to add a hatch. Go to Selecting An Area For Hatching and begin with step 2.
