hollister design Studio Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Any thoughts on these hatches? I have a polygon on a separate class - A-BLDG-PATT - that is hatched by class and is an overlay for the building footprint. On screen it is complete - printed it comes out with gaps (see photos vs screen grab) thoughts on why? screen grab: photo one: Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 It looks like the polygon boundary has a Line Style applied to it. I not sure why it is not showing on screen. Check the polygon and the line style. If the Style is By Class then check the class settings. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 hollister design Studio Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 @Pat Stanford thanks for looking at this. I checked the polygon and the class A-BLDG-SLAB. screen grab: I have a line weight override up to 1.00 from 0.35 and I have a fill override with a hatch from Kats Hatches. FYI - This is an older file - on of the first I moved over from AutoCAD. I now put my foundation slab on a separate layer than the walls and have the foundation class set to a hatch fill in the class settings. Note: None of my line styles seem to show on screen unless I'm zoomed in very close. Is there a setting to make them visible in Sheet layers? I do have 'zoom line thicknesses' on - should I?

0 Peter Vandewalle Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 For the hatch not printing: any object really far away from the internal origin? That causes all kind of graphic issues. For the linestyles not showing: what scale is the design layer? Quote Link to comment

I draw most everything in 1/4"=1' but this particular file is 1/8"=1' I've learned to forget my autocad norm of using the internal origin from the civil files! I now move everything so that I'm working to the immediate upper right of the VW internal origin point. ...but I will see if I've got a straggler stuck way out on the edge. Quote Link to comment

Did you (have to) rescale the file after the import? That could cause the linestyles to be too small and hatches be too dense also. Try to never rescale an imported dwg, rather import again (in a new file) using the correct units. Quote Link to comment
Question
hollister design Studio
Any thoughts on these hatches?
I have a polygon on a separate class - A-BLDG-PATT - that is hatched by class and is an overlay for the building footprint.
On screen it is complete - printed it comes out with gaps (see photos vs screen grab)
thoughts on why?
