Hatch by Material - Default

[NachitoMax]

Hi

i have set up my hatches to set specific hatching to specific materials. How or where can set this to happen by default? At the minute, i have to hatch then right click the hatches and select 'By Material' which is getting a little tedious 🙂

i couldnt find anything in hte styles editor...

Thanks

Nigel

Hi nmjshaw150,

You can do this in your Standard. On the Manage tab, click Styles and Standards tab > Styles Editor button > Expand the Standard node and then click the Material Hatch Pattern Defaults tab.

Hi

thanks for the reply. yes i have done that part already. i would like it to be default instead of needing to do this-

can it set 'By Material' as standard? i cant find a setting in the styles editor

Thanks

Depending on how you have set your Projects and Styles Library/Manager. Sounds like you aren't using the Style Manager Library and are only keeping the Styles in each Template. You could save this drawing after you make the changes and use it as a Template or update the changes to your Style Library.

Hi

The Style Library manager confuses me if im absolutely honest. When I go to the tool-

i am only presented with 2 list boxes. there are no options to set or edit my style library so i do this independently within each environment (Part, Assembly, Drawing) as they all have different options. Unless i am not using the right tool....

Thanks

Hi Nigel,

I believe normally this should be automatically checked for new views. Can you please send me the ipt and idw so I can take alook? [ladislav.pcola@autodesk.com]
