Hi guys, I'm putting a surface pattern (hatch) on some solids, this ha been working fantastically. However when I plot the surface pattern/hatch it is nearly invisible. Can I control the line thickness? If so how? If not any suggestions other than placing filled regions with the appropriate hatch on top of my solids?

I think its just hardcoded as lineweight 1 and I can't see a way to change it, make sure you aren't printing greyscale.

nope not grey scale...there must be a way to control that...one can control a filled region...the principle is the same

is it a simple pattern? Can you cheat the answer by doubling/tripling the lines by a very small shift in the pattern file until you can find a true answer?

I don't believe i could even do that, it is a surface pattern on a solid, so I can only have one at a time on it. I suppose I could create my own pattern files with very thick lines but I would really hate to go to that extreme.

it is a surface pattern on a solid,.

Not a hatch pattern then correct?
