    Default Set Hatch Base Point

    you can set your hatch basepoint while selecting your fill areas by r.clicking and checking out the options for 'Hatch Origin'.

    Real handy when placing masonry hatches on elevations, and ceiling grids for R.C.P.'s.

    Ya know, I've tried modifying the base point after-the-fact and I've never gotten it work. It always stays maintains the same point of origin. Are there special requirements (associative, pick by object, etc) for the hatch properties for that to work?

    i've sometimes had to force a 'preview', and if it did it right, selecting 'return' instead of Esc calls it good. what kind of hatching patterns to you use? i've used it on all sorts of patterns except the 'ISO' group.

    I don't personally use much hatching in my work. 90% of the time I'm using the 'Other Predefined' patterns. I haven't trie dmany times, but the time sI did I wasn't seeing any success. I'll have to play with it again to see what results I get.

    In 2005 you can use the SNAPBASE command and then you select the corner that you want the hatch to originate from. Again this is a very useful tool in drafting to true Masonry dimensions. You can also use this command in 2006.

    Hi

    You can use the method presented by "Kiduno99" ( Sorry, I do not know your real name ), above.

    Here is some additional information...

    ID: TS32120 - Starting point of hatch is in wrong location

    ID: TS60223 - Hatch patterns display incomplete or broken up

    Have a good one, Mike

    Yes. Set the UCS origin to a point where the hatch will begin. Most hatches are defined starting at 0,0, therefore, moving the ucs origin around will control the hatch placement (alignment)

    That is a fantastic tip. I used the tip and it didn't work. But then. I'm working with IntelliCAD. Not AutoCAD. I do not want to waste a lot of money.
