HPBACKGROUND

[serge]

If you HATCH an object using a 'Color Book'-Background Color,
then the next HATCH-action is recuperating this Background-color.
This is OK, but by placing another HATCH and immediately changing this backgroundcolor to another non-Colorbook color,
AutoCAD is not respectin,g the new value and is still using the ex-background color.
So I need to post-proces every time the new HATCH
Seems only to be a 'problem' with a Colorbook-color.
Any ideas?

Greetings @serge 

There is no HPBACKGROUND command/variable.

There is an HPBACKGROUNDCOLOR (System Variable) that is defined per-DWG file, it is not system wide: by chance is your issue when you switch DWG files that the setting goes away?

I attached the drawing, which has a description of the problem.
Thank you.

@Anonymous Are you by chance assuming HPBACKGROUNDCOLOR (System Variable) resets to zero on it's own somehow? It does not, never has, it always remembers it's last setting.

But you can reset to to "nothing" easily in the RIBBON or the commandline

Please do find my actions in the attached pdf...

@Anonymous OK, that does explain the steps better, and I can replicate it. Looks like you will need to report it as a bug to Autodesk through your Accounts Page Support Request.
