I'm trying to stretch a hatch in a Dynamic Block with the Stretch parameter, I just moves the whole hatch, even though its associative?

Hey Chris - If the hatch is created using the "Select Objects" option (and as long as the hatch is associative) then the hatch can be included in the stretch. That's the way I do it and it works well for me.

here's a small sample of what works for me ........

it's a rectangle with a hatch associated with it. It's suppsed to simulate an MDF panel. You enter the sizes and voila - or stretch it. Better used for a section cut or soemthing like that .....

One other thing that I have had a problem with is once I go to stretch my DB, the hatch decides to change it's origin from being centered, to the bottom left. I even checked my HPORIGINMODE and HPASSOC, they are both set correctly.
