I am new to this forum so Hello to everyone. :)
Just to clear things up a bit: I am not a native english speaker - so bear with me and my bad english - ok? ;)
My problem is somewhat confusing: my ADT (actually both 2004 and 2005) seems to have suddenly lost its ability to draw hatch patterns inside walls. In plan view this seems to happen regardless of the chosen display configuration.
High detail seems to have no difference whtsoever to low detail, althought previously it did.This change happened without anything special happening. I do not recall changing anything within the settings of either ADT, WinXP or my graphics card. Last Friday everything went smoothly and now I can't seem to get the hatches on.
Curiously enough the presentation setting does produce a fill in the whole wall as it should, but none of the others do. Nevertheless, the wall hatch patterns on the side of the wall work fine. It is just the `sectional` bits that are missing i.e. the top side and the end of the wall remain blank.
I am running both of the programs on the same workstation, although not simultaneously.
I am rather new to ADT, but very familiar with AutoCad, which led me into thinking that there could perhaps be a system variable for a setting that controls this visibility. Has anyone any knowledge of a similar situation?
I have even tried un-installing both programs and re-installing first 2004, but to no avail. Also I ran a repair installation of XP as well. Also I checked that the machine is completely free of any viruses, trojans or malware. I have also updated the driver of my graphics card. ( A measely ATI Radeon, but has worked fine so far...)
I have tried searching from a number of locations and have not been succesful in finding an answer to this problem. Nevertheless I need to have drawings with hatch patterns, so the situation needs to be remedied somehow. Any input will be appreciated.
Please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong segment or otherwise breaking the rules. Completely unintentional. (I did try searching first.)
Thank you in advance
