Cannot adjust hatch scale

laraujo — Sun, 17 Dec 2023 17:26:22 GMT

Dear sirs: I searched a lot, but could not find information on a way to adjust hatch scale. My hatches are always all white. I lowered scale and increased it without success. Thank you.

Share a sample drawing with this problem and specify the name of the hatch patterns you’ve tried

@laraujo ,

Try all the suggestions from this link:

Delete and recreate the hatch.

Someone else create that custom hatch for you, nd you do not have it on your system if you for example tries to use it in a new drawing. Correct?

OR... do you just need to thaw/unlock all layers, including layer 0 first, then try it.

Or the hatch is inside an XREF, or a block, and you did not notice yet?

Since your area is such a small distance only a bit over 2 units your hatch scale value needs to be then very small as well...see attached dwg with the ANGLE hath pattern filled in the square next to your detail drawing

Thank you. Here is the drawing. You can see it, all white.

I set scale to 0.0001 without results.

why so small...did you try 0.08 which is what I did in your drawing?

Re: Cannot adjust hatch scale

paullimapa — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 20:38:51 GMT

Attached I successfully hatched your drawing showing name of patterns I used with their respective scales:

Re: Cannot adjust hatch scale

laraujo — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 20:52:22 GMT

I tried 0.00001

Re: Cannot adjust hatch scale

paullimapa — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 21:04:24 GMT

Why don't you do a screen capture showing the area you want to hatch and show us the name of the hatch pattern?

Also have you tried using one of the scale values I used successfully like 0.0025 for AR-CONC & 0.008 for GRAVEL?

laraujo — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 14:16:55 GMT

Thank you very much. I just cannot do it. I attached the drawing with the hatch where it is supposed to be, put the scale to zero, and the hatch keep being solid.

why you enter 0 when I told you to enter smaller numbers with decimal which works perfectly!!!
