Modifying all HatchPattern in Drawing(Sheet)

Hi there,

 

when telling my students to keep one hatchPattern for each part on a drawing sheet I noticed that Inventor isn't quite comfortable to change the patterns.

 

So I thought about adding some dialog which allows you to set the main component of the patterns and apply it all over the active sheet.

 

Maybe some of of you find it helpful.

The command consists out of a UserForm (.frm, .frx), some VBA-Script (.bas) and two Icons (.bmp)... So the service should be complete. The only thing you might have to do is translating some words on the UserForm. But as the code is using en-variable names this should be no problem :winking_face:

 

If any of you have some idea for automating / optimizing the process of setting hatchpattern, please let me know. There might be a button to do this in the future.

 

Edit: Sometimes the userform is only showing the data of the first hatch-region. So I added a routine to delete the dynamic generated input-elements when closing the form. I've tested it and it seems to work fine now. This is found in the v2-ZIP-file
