Jim Smith Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I may have been doing this wrong for some time now. ie. A wall drawn at 180º with an set of assembly hatches drawn at 90º will not look the same if the wall is now drawn at 90º or 45º. I have been making custom hatches and multiple wall types Is there a way to have the hatch of a wall type align to the direction of a wall? Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Like this? If so, look in the Hatch and find under Rotate check "In Wall" Quote Link to comment

AlanW Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 There is now way to do the same for hatches in a rectangle (surface) is there??? they always stay the same orientation???? Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 As far as I know, you can't make the hatch 'automatically' rotate in objects other than walls, but you CAN select the object and use the Attribute Mapping tool to rotate the orientation of the hatch within the rectangle. Notice that the name of the hatch in the Attributes Palette then displays in blue, indicating it's using local mapping. You can also edit the mapping of the hatch by click on the three dots next to the hatch selection. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Thanks for the reminder, one tends to forget these things if not used for a while. Thanks Quote Link to comment
acepernich Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 To keep the hatch rotate with the rectangle, you could set the hatch to rotate in symbols. Then apply the hatch to the rectangle, and turn the hatched rectangle into a symbol. Kludgy, but a way to do it. Quote Link to comment
