Hatch patterns in LT 2012/Mac are all solid

[Anonymous]

Suddenly, no matter what Hatch pattern I select or scale I sent it to, every pattern, both ANSI standard ones AQND custom add-ons, are solid and black.  Does anybody have any experience with this?

Hi,

AutoCAD shows hatches sometimes like SOLIDs when the hatch pattern would not be visible otherwise, so e.g. when you have a closed polyline showing a 1x1 square and you defined a hatch pattern with lines and a distance of 10 - which might result in 0 lines as hatch pattern within the square - then the SOLID-representation makes it possible to select it and modify it's scale factor.

If you upload a drawing where you show the issue (if it's a user defined hatch pattern then please also upload the PAT-file) we can look into it.

Otherwise  draw some squares with different sizes, create a hatch for each of them and see if anything changes depending on the size of the object or the scale factor, when you modify the hatch object.
