Hatch scale

[wrich44]

I installed LT 2011 on a new machine with Windows 7 32 bit.
The hatch scale is showing too large. When I use match properties in the hatch dialogue box (ribbon)
the resulting hatch shows as a much larger scale that drawings that were generated in Vista.
For instance an ansi 137 pattern to represent tile was set at 100 scale and it shows about 12" squares
but if I use it as a match I have to rescale it to 4 each time.
Is there a system variable to set for this?

Start a new file and recreate the problem. if you can, post it here (use a
core or basic hatch pattern we all have). If you cannot, find out why a new
file is different from an existing one, start by INSERTing it into this test
file and measuring a known dimension.

I'm guessing he has 2 or more patterns with the same name (one of the
problems with editing the acad.pat rather than adding individual pat
files or can happen when one of his custom pat files duplicates a
standard pat) When the original hatch was created he chose a specific
pattern, but when he tries to match it finds a different pattern with
the same name but a different native scale.

It may also be a case if ISO hatch vs. "regular" hatch file being used. The
possibilities may be endless, or a quirk in 2011 🙂

I found the problem. When I migrated the hatch definitions file from my previous version I overwrote the acadlt file (the one for imperial)
with the acadltiso file (the one for metric).
Therefore, there is no bug in Windows 7.
