    Hi,

     

    Is there a way to control weight of line for hatch?

    I'm trying to make some style for number of areas and when I do hatch on a paper it's almost invisible because it's weight!

    Tons of hatch patterns and they all useless!?

     

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Drawing objects or data connected; shp, sdf, etc?

     

    lw is accessible in properties or in the layer properties manager.  There is a button to turn lw off and on on dispaly also.

     

    FDO objects in styles

     

    look in help search for plotting lineweights

    Hi Vasily,

     

    for FDO features you can apply a lineweight for hatches but not using Display Manager's Style Editor. You need to add it manually to your .layer file.

     

    For a simple hatch (Dash) you need to add the <LineWeight> tag:

    ...
    <Name>DASH</Name>
     <Graphics>
      <Path>
       <Geometry>M 0.0,0.0 h 0.125 M 0.125,0.125 h 0.125</Geometry>
        <LineColor>%HATCHCOLOR%</LineColor>
        <LineWeight>0.1</LineWeight>
    ...

    save the layer file (context menu).

    Open in XML/text Editor

    Add <lineweight> tag for hatch definition

    save

    load layer into map again.

     

    Good luck,

    Rob
