Rotation of hatch patterns in assemblies

I seem to remember a command something like AMHATCHROT or some such thing that set the rotation angle of hatch patterns between ajacent parts in an assembly drawing, but cannot find anything like it in the help file. Anyone remember this command?

Thanks,

eb

at all... just curious what the difference is between amautohatchrot and
ampatterndef

Kevin,

Ampatdef changes the hatch pattern of a part when
it's sectioned. Amautohatchrot will adjust the hatch pattern rotation angle of
adjacent parts so they are different by the angle you assign. As an example, set
amautohatchrot to 15 (default). Then if you had a assembly of say two blocks,
butted against each other and you took a section through them, one would have a
hatch with a 45 deg angle and the other would have 60 deg.

Yes it is undocumented in MDT6, may have arrived in
a service pack but not sure about that.

I thank you both. amautohatchrot is the one I was thinking of, but I didn't even know that a pattern could be associated with a part until now. Thanks again.
