Hatch scaling problem

Aug 12, 2004 2 Replies

I hatched an area (say area A) on a drawing the other day. Today I hatch an area (say area B) using same scale and pattern as area A, and its totally different! I used express tools "match properties" and to make B same as A - no change. However us match property to make A same as B and changes to latest "wrong" scale!!!! I'm using AutoCAD 2002. Is this an old chestnut and has someone got a fix for it?


Thanks for reply, but the hatched areas are in the same drawing. Using ansi31 pattern. When I check the properties, both have the same linetypescale and pattern scales but look different by a factor of 2.5 times!!! Any ideas? TIA

2.54 is the conversion factor between centimeters and inches....
