create hatch in a sketched region in a drawing

[Anonymous]

I know I can create a colored sketched region on a dawring with

' Create a fill region with an override color.
    Call oSketch.SketchFillRegions.Add(oProfile2, oColor)

. But is there any way to create a hatch via API in a sketched area on a drawing?

@Anonymous I don't think hatch is exposed in the API. I've been looking for this all weekend.

Thanks, Josh. That's what I thought and found out too.

Please log in the Beta forum(get the Inventor project) to try the Inventor 2021 Beta build which has the drawing sketch hatch APIs:

Please let me if any feedback on the new APIs.

@YuhanZhang I opened the Inventor beta in a FRAME session and saw the new SketchHatchRegion in the API. I didn't try it much but I am simply happy to know it's there. I hope it makes it into the final build. My client is upgrading to 2020 soon but will be very happy I can automate their drawing hatch eventually.
