Inventor API - Access section HATCH Edit with API

[Khoa_NguyenDang]

Hi all guy 

I want to access the Hatch Edit with API like in the picture 

Does anybody know or have the experience to access Hatch Edit?

If someone knows, hope you can help me, thank you so much

Hi think that it is still not in the API!

This part of Inventor API is not yet exposed I think to the users, as @bradeneuropeArthur has mentioned. I tried to find something in Inventor API help and what I found is we can just show/hide the hatching using DisplayHatching property in a view but can not change the angle.

On the other hand, if you can defined hatch angle from DrawingStandardStyle object, you can use PresetSectionHatchAngles property to set the angle.

Hope this will be helpful

Does anyone know if it is planned to be added to the API of the option to modify it?

Add it to Idea station and Autodesk may consider.

Inventor 2022 seems to have this available. At least I am able to modify via API, as below:

Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument = oSheet.Parent
Dim oHR As DrawingViewHatchRegion
Dim HatchPattern As String = "Solid" 'Change as required.

For Each oHR In oView.HatchRegions
	'If you need to gain access to the part:
	'Dim sb As SurfaceBody = oHR.SurfaceBody
	'Dim HatchOcc As ComponentOccurrence = sb.Parent
	'Dim HatchDoc As PartDocument = HatchOcc.Definition.Document
	
	'Boolean to set to Material, if required.
	'oHR.ByMaterial = False

	oHR.Pattern = oDoc.DrawingHatchPatternsManager.Item(HatchPattern)

	Dim HatchColor As Color
	HatchColor = g_InvApp.TransientObjects.CreateColor(100, 100, 100)
	oHR.Color = HatchColor
	oHR.Angle = 45
	oHR.LineWeight = 0.1
