Add hatch to drawing!

The way I read it you don't want to make cross-sections. Sounds like you need to create a cosmetic. 'feature' 'create' 'cosmetic' 'sketch' Select 'regular sec' and 'Xhatch'. Pick the surface you want to xhatch, then pick the edges to create the borders. While in sketch mode you'll only see the border. When you're done it will hatch it.

Thanks Dave,

I'll have a go it work on friday.

Roger that.

Hi Dave

One more thing, how do you modify the hatch?, I cant seem to get to the Xhatch menu to change the spacing / Angle etc

Thanks

Geoff

I don't think you can change the hatching of a cosmetic in part mode yet. But you can change it in drawing mode. Left mouse click on the border of the hatched area to highlight it. Then hold the right mouse button and select properties. Or use 'edit' 'properties' from the top menu. Either way will bring up the menu for the hatching. Unfortunately it doesn't change it in the part to match.

Forwarding...

Well, Dave, I was shocked to find that you could change hatch spacing, angle, etc. in part mode. You just have to go into 'View>View Manager>Xsec', pick the cross section in question, do 'Edit>Redefine' and you get the Menu Manager crap for Spacing, Angle, etc

This sometimes selects better with the selection filter set to X-Section.
