Creating a gradient hatch in a polygon shape

eduardedy — Tue, 02 Feb 2021 17:21:43 GMT

Hi all,

Any idea of how I can create a superhatch that follows the polygon shape, like in the attached picture?

Or, it's possible in AutoCad?

Hi Eduard,

Do you want this super hatch from raster image?
If yes, then - yes, you can create it with "Image" option inside SUPERHATCH command:

You just need to create seamless pattern image from the original picture.

Hi Maxim,

Thanks for your reply. Actually, having the hatch from the image doesn't fit right, that's why I was looking for a solution to use superhatch.

Best!

But super hatch can be created with image, block, xref, or wipeout object. What do you prefer to use?

Hi Maxim,

Actually, the hatch is ''gradient'', sorry for misleading.

In a black hatch polygon, I want the margins to be grey/white, replicating ''a light''.

In gradient settings, the central hatch can be circular, not following the polygonal shape.

Best!

You can create separate hatches along linear segments.
