Andrew Mac Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 When using hatches and then changing scale- DOes it effect the look of the hatch? Is there a way to not effect the way the hatch looks? Quote Link to comment
jan15 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 The spacing of hatch lines can be in Page units (relative to the printed page, such as .05" spacing for shading) or World units (relative to the real-world object being portrayed, such as 8/3" spacing for brick joints). Editable by clicking on the word "Hatch" at the bottom of the pull-down list of hatches in the Attributes palette. Those units always apply to the hatch when first created. For the associative hatches created by the Attributes palette, the units adjust when you change layer scale or re-size the boundary object, to be the same as if you had applied the hatch after the scaling or re-sizing. Non-associative hatches created by the pull-down menu command are really just groups of lines, and they act like any other lines when you change scale or re-size. Quote Link to comment
Daryl Wood Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 What about shifting the associated hatch pattern? If I'm using a board and baton hatch, can I shift the associated hatch so one of the batons line up where I want them? Daryl Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Move the object object itself until the hatch lines up where you want it, then make the object a symbol. When you move the object back the hatch will follow. Quote Link to comment
Daryl Wood Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thanks Ray, that works. Quote Link to comment
