Texture - surface hatch line-up issue

[markdd]

I have created a texture that represents a mesh with 25mm square holes. I have also created a hatch to go with the texture. I would like to be able to show the mesh in a variety of render styles including hidden and dashed hidden lines. Although textures and surface hatches are meant to lineup I can't make this one line up in any way without offsetting the surface hatch which is not the point of the lineup window in the surface hatch section of the texture.

 

I have included my drawing and wondered if the forum hive could take a look and tell me what I am doing wrong! Is it the hatch that is wrong or the way that I have the Hatch Alignment settings? Or does the surface hatch alignment feature not work?

 

Thanks

On the Render Tab of the OIP change the Map Type to Auto-Align Plane

Thanks!!

So the workflow is: Apply the texture, Auto-Align Plane and then use the texture mapping tool to put it in position.

 

That's answered a question that has been driving me nuts for ages!
