Pipe Hatch

[rahmankafray8027]

I know some people have had this problem, but I havn't found a solution. My pipe has a solid hatch setup in the style. For a lot of the pipes, it works correctly. But some of the pipes have gaps or spaces in the hatch. I am running with SP1, SP2, HF1, HF2.

I have found a quirk that if you move the profile to 0,0.....all of the hatch works fine. But if I move it back up to my coordinate system, it messes up again.

Any ideas or solutions?

Interesting. Looks like from the thread that this appeared under states
that this is a problem. But just from what you found out about moving
it to 0,0 perhaps moving the SNAPBASE to a location closer to your
profile might help?

Well,

That sounded like a great idea. I tried changing my SNAPBASE to a point closer to the profiles, but it didn't change anything.

sometimes when you use snapbase you have to rehatch for normal hatch
objects... perhaps if you change the pipe styles to a non-hatch style, then
change back it might work??? just thinking outloud..

I tried modifying the hatch and then changing it back to the solid hatch, but it didn't work.

Another thing I have found out....I changed the hatch from solid to a criss cross on a small scale and it seems to hatch the entire pipe, but if I go back to the solid it messes up. I am curious as to why other hatching patterns work but not the solid hatch???

Any thoughts?

I've got a thought, but not a solution - solid hatching has always been
just a little buggy. Like you, I've used any other hatch at a very
dense scale, and it shows up fine. Only problem is that it creates
some HUGE plot sizes (one took over 3 hours to plot on a HP1055CM on a
gigabit network). I was told by Shaan Hurley early this year that a
lot of the solid hatch issues had been fixed in 2007, but I still have
occasional problems, especially when my hatch boundary is a complex
polyline.

I had the same problem with solid hatching on some of my pipes. My work-around is to use the ANSI37 hatch pattern at scale 1. When I plot at 20 scale, it appears to be a solid hatch.

The solution to this lies within the Structure Style.

In the Structure Style - Select the Profile tab.

Uncheck - Enable part masking in the bottom right corner

If you will need to show hatching in section you will need to uncheck the same box in the Section tab.

That fixed my hatching problem!

Now, how do I make the hatching stop at the structure outline instead of the actual end of the pipe?

Anybody got any ideas?
