Phase Override Hatch Pattern Line Weight

[Darin_HDR]

I can't seem to figure out what is controlling the hatch line weight for phase overrides. I have a phase override on demolished walls. The override includes a cut and surface hatch pattern. The cut hatch pattern appears to be line weight 1 while the surface hatch pattern line weight appears to match the wall's graphic projection line weight (which is 2). I have tried this both with and without a line weight override in the phase overrides for lines. Neither effect the line weight of the overridden hatch pattern. What is even weirder is that if you zoom into the cut wall, you can actually see the wider line from the surface pattern over ride (even though there is only one wall).

Bottom line is I would like to be able to set up my phase over rides to be:

- A projection line weight of 2 (project's wall style is at 2, but the phase override is set at 2 as well, not "No Override")

    -A surface hatch pattern line weight of 1 or 2

- A cut line weight of 5 (project's wall style is at 4)

    - A cut wall hatch line weight equal or greater than the surface hatch pattern line weight

Is this possible? What is driving the cut wall hatch line weight?

Hatches use Pen #1.

Sorry, I thought I had included this screen cast in the original post. As you can see hatches do not always use pen style #1. The short of it is, I am trying to figure out what is driving when the phase over rides uses pen style #1 for a hatch and when something else is driving the pen style. I could live with it if it was always pen style #1, but that does not seem to be the case. And what is troubling to me is I am getting a larger pen weight (pen style) on a surface pattern then on a cut pattern, that I would typically want to be darker.

Got to love Autodesk. Tells me it isn't valid URL, even after it links it itself from my screen cast list or copying and pasting the URL and it shows me a preview of the screen cast. Well here is a link.

Yah, it's replicable. Never noticed that before. Appears to be displaying the fill pattern the way ceilings do - using pen #2.  If it's a real bother to you,  you could change pen #2 line weight.

For phase graphics overrides:

- cut pattern line weight is 1 if the pattern is foreground

- cut pattern line weight equals object style's projection line weight if the pattern is background

- surface pattern lineweight equals object style's projection line weight regardless of using background or foreground

So, for what you are after:

- Set the object style's wall projection line weight to 2; cut line weight to 5

- Set the phase graphic overrides: projection line weight to 2 or 3; cut line weight to 5; cut pattern to use background fill only

Great contribution, @ToanDN!  Thanks!

@ToanDN and @barthbradley, thank you so much for taking the time to offer your help. ToanDN, this was exactly the information I was looking for. Very odd setup but now that I know how it is set up, I can work with it.

Thank You Toan. I also found out that surface patterns from materials can have an effect on the line weight.
