Accessing hatch angle with ilogic

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

In a drawing, I create a bunch of section views with different angles of a cylinder with ilogic code. Then I rotate the views and then I place them on the sheet. The problem is that the hatch angle is different on all the section views, for example, if the section angle is 45 deg, then the hatch angle is 0 deg, and if the section angle is 135 deg, then the hatch angle is 90 deg, and so on.

So I want, for each section view I create, to set the hatch angle to 45 degrees. I have looked in the API help file, but all I can find is the "set/get" the preset values of the hatch angles.

Any help on this topic is much appreciated!

I am using inventor 2016.

hello espengl,

I don't think it is supported by the API.

If you select the hatch, and then look at the SelectSet, you see 1 item with the value of nothing.
