Hathces

I am trying to hatch a area of my drawing with the gravel hatch, and it is not displaying gravel, i believe it is using the concrete hatch. A coworker of mine said it has something to do with Pspace or some variable or setting like that but he could not remember. If anyone knows how to fix this, that would be great. Thanks

I tried that two numbers thing and it said i could not update the hatch, probably because the scale was way toooo large

Your drawing looks fine on my end. The gravel pattern looks pretty well organized (just like a traditional gravel pattern).

I now think I see what might have happened. The hatch pattern has a set angle of 45d. If that angle is changed to 0d, you will end up with what you are displaying (see the attached image depicting both the original 45d angle (right) and the modified to 0d angle (left)).

Once the hatch pattern is broken like this, it cannot be corrected in just the properties window. If you select the hatch, right click and edit the hatch with the 45d angle and a reasonable scale (yours is set to 0.15 right now which is fine), it should come back no problem. At least it did for me.

Hope that helps,

No Jon, that did not work. I tried everything you said, changing angle, right clicking and then properties, and such. It does not work. Message was edited by: Sindarin

I HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ALL I DO IS CHANGE MY UCS TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN WORLD. THEN I RE-HATCH. WORKS FOR ME.

No, changing my UCS did not work. It does the exact same thing.

Have you tried this on another system? When I opened your drawing, it worked fine on my end, so it must be something specific to your system.

Also, have you tried a repair install?

Other things to try:
1.)Set your limits to iclude everything in the drawing.
2.)Re-Boot your machine.
3.) Update your video drivers.
4.) Do a "Repair-Install".

Ive rebooted, my limits are set to everything. It is also happening to other people in our office. All our gravel hatch seems to come out like that as i said above.
I am not the only one having that problem.

I saw the drawing that you posted. It seems there is a difference between the hatch patterns. The good one is scaled at 0.15 where the one you are trying to hatch now is a scale of 1. I would say to experiment with the scale, especially a smaller one. That usually works for me on the concrete hatch to make it come out right.

I have tried that, I have tried absolutely everything, playing with the scale. Paper/Model Space, trying absolutely everything. Oh well, I guess there is no fix for it.

Try this in your example drawing.

Zoom to show the rectangle containing the misbehaving hatch.

Delete the hatch.

At the command prompt type SNAPBASE followed by a
then click at the point to be the new snap origin (base) point (you can also
explicitly set the X and Y coodinates for the snap origin with from
Tools|DraftingSettings|[Snap and Grid].

Hatch the area.

Changing the UCS or the SNAPBASE is not enough, you have to rehatch.

When hatches defined with low precision are employed far from the SNAPBASE
origin there can be a loss of precision in calculating the location of the
line segments forming the pattern. The standard GRAVEL and AR-CONC patterns
can exhibit this behaviour.

Opening and saving such patterns with the HatchKit hatch pattern editor
obtains equivalent patterns defined with high precision so regions remote
from the snap origin can be hatched without changing snap or UCS settings.

I have tried that, I have tried absolutely everything as said the last post I made, changing snapbase then redoing the hatch does not work either.

I have asked twice, but do not know what version ACAD the OP is using.

I have noticed that SNAPBASE has no effect in 2006. Can anyone confirm?

If you make the correct settings in the hatch dialog, it will work, but
simply changing SNAPBASE does not.
