liberian Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I need different hatches than those provided. I know I can make them and I did try, but the results are not good enough and I finally lost patience with it. Especially hatches that include dots - these are not provided at all and I did not magane to make them. Please if there is anybody who has quite a wide range of hatches made and would be willing to share them, it would make me sooooo happpy! Quote Link to comment
Jim Smith Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 You can find some here: http://www.vectordepot.com/hatches/ Quote Link to comment
liberian Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Thank you, I didn't know about the depot. There still aren't the ones I need. Never realised I lived in such a hatch-specific country. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 What kind of hatches are you after? Quote Link to comment
liberian Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 The ones I find most difficult to make are diagonal ones with one of the lines a dash line (including dots). Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Something like this attached? Moderators: this topic should be moved to hatch sharing section. Quote Link to comment
liberian Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Oh, unfortunately, I have vw2008 and cannot open it. Quote Link to comment
liberian Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Sorry, I didn't realise there was such section. It doesn't seem to get many visits though... Christiaan it tells me it is an old file or the version is higher than mine - either way, I cannot open it. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Sorry, exported v2008 but uploaded wrong file. It doesn't seem to get many visits though.. Doesn't make any difference which forum you post in for people like myself as I always click on latest topics. Quote Link to comment
liberian Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Christiaan thank you! I did manage to get to similar stage. Then I had three main problems: 1. Why does the dash line seem to run at a slightly different angle even though it is set at the same angle as the original lines? It seems to do the same in your example 2. I need a dot in the dash line - I tried to make a very short line layered over the dashed line, but never managed to have them spaced uquelly the entire lenght. Somehow they start going different ways after a while. 3. I struggle with achieving the correct scale - is there any way how to create a hatch and then use it at different scales? Or do I have to make a different one each time? Here is the sad result of my effort: Quote Link to comment
maarten. Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 a litlle tip: if you want to create rotated hatches, the easiest way to do that is (imo) to create the hatch NOT rotated first (so all lines are vertical or horizontal). That way you can use the coordinates. After that, switch back to the "angle modes" and ad "+45?" to all the angles of all the line layers. Quote Link to comment
