Drag a hatch pattern from my toolbar causes an error

[Noahma2]

This is my first time posting here, hope I can find some help

We have a file that is one house of an entire spec. subdivision so the file will get many many lots associated with it. The problem being that when I drag a Hatch from my toolbar, I get an error message associated with that hatch. It does the same thing with any hatch in the tool bar. I can however use Boundry hatches and get a good ole hatch. The other part of the problem. After using the toolbar to attempt to hatch, then trying to save Autocad crashes with an internal error. How we attempted to fix was to Wblock and instert the drawing into another file. Xrefing the file works, but I cannot bind the file, nor can I insert it into a new file. Copy and Paste results in the same as inserting. It gives the *invalid* error.

Any ideas on how we can save the file?

(I removed floorplans, and any structural information per request by my boss:))

Hi

What exactly is the Error message you receive?

Using the _.BHatch command I experience no issues / problems with applying Hatch Patterns to the example drawing file you posted.

Have a good one, Mike

using B hatch has no probs at all. its using hatches from toolbars, i have quite an extensive hatch toolbar set up on my work station :)


and this is the only file so far that has this problem, all of my other files work just fine.

Please post an example of your Hatch Toolbar (ie. the code behind it).

when i click on a hatch in my hatch toobar i get an error like below

_executetool *invalid*

this happens at both my work station, and my home computer, both have different hatch toolbars.

how do i get the code from my toolbars?

after i try to hatch and save or close autocad i get the dreaded
Unhandled access violation reading 0x8f304082 exception at 648ffaa5h

this is the only file we have this problem with, all of the others let us use the hatch from the tool bar with no problems at all


thanks for taking the time to try to help :)

how do i get the code from my toolbars?Hi

If using AutoCAD 2006 I better let someone else explain (just in case it is a different procedure).

In AutoCAD 2005 or lower -> Right-click on a Toolbar -> From right-click menu, select "Customize" (very bottom of the list) -> "Customize" dialog box opens -> Right-click on a Toolbar button in question -> From right-click menu, select "Properties (very bottom of the list) -> "Button Properties" tab within the "Customize" dialog box should become active, and display the contents of the Toolbar button selected.

Have a good one, Mike
