Dean,
I came to the same conclusion that if I wanted it to do what I wanted and
not what it wanted, I would have to make separate hatches, just as you said.
One thing that was interesting was that when I created a piece of plywood of
3/4" thickness while the units were set to decimal and then changed the
units to architectural, and created a second rectangle for the plywood of
the same thickness...when I hatched it with the same hatch, the two
rectangles became hatched at different scales....even though they were both
setup to be the same scale.
So to be more clear about the sequence of what I did was first I created the
two rectangles, each while units was set first in decimal and then for the
second one, in architectural. Then after this, keeping the units set at
architectural, I hatched both rectangles using the same hatch and scale.
The hatches actually were inserted with different scales.
Here is the hatch code I used for the most successful one. It is designed
for 3/4" plywood at a scale of 1.0.
*PLYWD34, Plywood section
45, 0,0, 0,3
45, .25,0, 0,3
45, .5,0, 0,3
0.0, 0,0.333, 0,3
0.0, 0,0.533, 0,3
Thanks for your help on this.
