Hatch overrides funiture when copied from a different file

Anonymous

Hi guys
Im trying to copy some funiture form one file to another file. When i do that the hatch pattern overides the lines of the funiture. Someone knows how to fix this? See before/after pics attched.

Thanks in advance!

are lineweights set to be displayed in one file vs the other?  As @imadHabash said, it would be more helpful to have example drawings, as you cant tell anything from your picture.

My impression has been that when copying multiple things, the order of the copies comes out reversed from the order of the source objects.  But I think that may be version-dependent -- I can't seem to get it to work that way in Acad2019.

 

The HATCHTOBACK command will quickly fix that.  Also look into the HPDRAWORDER System Variable.

 

[Never mind, I think -- I didn't realize the Hatch patterns are parts of the Blocks.  My recollection may apply if they're separate from the outlining linework, but probably not in this case.]

Thank you for the drawings, it clears it up.  You are referring to the draw order of the hatch and the linework.

What version of AutoCAD are you running?  Can you provide a screenshot of the dialog that appears when you type ABOUT <enter> at the command line?

Thanks for your about dialog.  2019 had an issue when it was first released with draw order.  I would recommend getting the latest updates installed. then try copy and paste into a new file and see if the issue continues.

You can get the updates from your Autodesk Account manage.autodesk.com or from the Desktop App.

You should be on 2019.1.2
