CONCRETE HATCH ERROR.

Anonymous

Hey there.

 

I seem to be having an issue when matching hatches or copying and pasting them or re-scaling them.

The concrete hatch goes haywire after that.

Photos below.

 

Any help would be great.

That kind of "drift" in the elements of a Hatch pattern is characteristic of the hatched area being far from the origin.  It's because of the necessary rounding off of the offsets and pen-down/pen-up specifications in line set definitions for sets that don't run in nice clean orthogonal directions.  [More decimal places for those can reduce the effect, but you can't eliminate it.]  Assign an Origin to the Hatch pattern that's within it, or not far away.

Hey Kent! Thanks for that, has fixed the issue. In reference to resetting the origin, would this have any effect on GEO info when working on plans for civil work/nearmap/surveys if the 'Origin' is moved?

I don't deal in that kind of information, but it shouldn't.  It used to be that the only way to change the origin of a Hatch object was to change either the UCS or the SNAPBASE System Variable, and generate the pattern anew based around that, but now you can change its origin independent of any of that.
