Hatch Style angle behaves funny when adding break out operations via API

[jonas.hoffmeisterFYFHQ]

Hi guys

I am adding break out operations to a drawing for certain parts within an assembly. Generally works ok. In the drawing template idw I have defined a certain Hatch Style. The pattern is correct. However, the angle for the break out operations is not as defined and even changes from part to part.

Can I update the angle within my rule and hence set it explicitly other than via whats saved in my template? I did not find anything suitable within the product documentation.

Many thanks

Jonas

Hi all,

8 months later ...

so I found this which explains the behaviour: https://www.autodesk.de/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/DEU/The-hatch-patte...

I also found a solution for my application. If you have Inventor 2022  or newer this should do:

For Each oHatchR As DrawingViewHatchRegion In oSideView.HatchRegions
     oHatchR.Angle = 0.0
