HATCH ON TOP OF AN XREF on ADT 2006

[Anonymous]

I now, I now.. maybe this is not the right place but here I go.....

I'm trying to do what in 2004 and 2005 I think was fixed, hatching on top of
the xref, but on the 2006 I doesn't work at all, or just decide to find a
boundary that is not the area that I want to hatch. somebody else with the
same problem before? how you guys fixed the problem?
Thanks in adavnce

Don't do that. It was a no-no then, and is a no-no now.

I remember the computer crashing when you do that on ACAD2002, but on 2004
and 2005 it was possible to do it. (in this case, structural drawings trying
to show the cmu walls on top of the slab). so now is a no-no.......?

It's always been a no-no. Even if it worked, it was a no-no. Bad
juju there, mon.

Your best idea is to trace your boundary and hatch that.

the reason being...is that the drawing loads the xref after it loads its
stuff...

so the hatch goes... "HEY!! wheres my boundary?!?!"

it "works" because the hatch is non-associative. ( i think)

Could NCOPY be of use in this situation?

Personally I've used a variation of what Elvis described - all my hatching
is done in a Separate dwg. Since Draworder quibbles over Hatch Entities - in
my experience I mean.

I then set DRAWORDER as necessary for the Hatching (most times it's Back),
in that dwg.

I then use XREF in the Plot dwg for this Hatch dwg, and when I then set the
Draworder to Back on the XREF, it retains that setting from then on.

I noticed that in 2Ki and 2K2 the Hatch's would not cooperate with Draworder
unless done through the manner I just described.

Just an alternative thought.
