drawing convert to hatch?

[Wenwen 1]

Hallo,

ich use Vectorworks in english and german vision. In german vision, Vectorworks can convert line drawing into hatch. i can't find it in english vision. Why is that? 

for example: 

 

 

is it possible to create hatch from line drawing instead of  those levels in the hatch editor except using tile?

No you can't do this in the English version of VW. But I am very intrigued to learn that you can do this in the German version. See recent thread below re making hatches:

Can you tell me a bit more about the line drawing to hatch feature in the German software? It definitely creates a hatch yes?

Thanks

yes, it is quite easy. As it is shown in that youtube video: draw any objects, convert them into lines, draw a frame over them and then click Änderung (Modify) --- in Schraffur umwandeln (convert into Hatch)----give it a name and correct settings. And then you have the hatch.

Thanks @Wenwen I watched the video that's really cool! Do you know how long has this been a feature of the German VW?

This technology exists and it's not in the regular version of Vectorworks? Why in the heck not? 😄
