Hatching display

The hatching in sections is displayed correctly on my computer. On another computer it looks like solid.

The advance steel settings are the same so there must be another cause.

 

I have no idea where to look.

Hi @maebingerEX3UQ ,

 

have a look in Management Tools / Defaults and filter for hatch ... you will find some basic settings.

 

Even in Management Tools / Table editor, load the database and filter for hatch. Under AstorCurrentAddIn you will find more detailed settings. 

 

Compare the settings on both computers ...

We have compared the AdvanceSteel settings. They are the same on both computers.

The prototype drawings are also the same.
Actually, it can only be due to the AutoCad settings themselves.

We have found the cause of the problem. The AutoCad support folder in which the .PAT file for the hatching definitions is located was mostly empty. No idea how this could happen. We copied the missing files over from my computer. Now the hatchings are displayed correctly.
