Hatch in Break View

Armand Matossian Jan 7, 2018 12:19 PM

Hello all,

I would like to hatch an area in a break view.

I see that you cannot hatch an area that crosses a break but these hatch areas are outside the break. Hatching works fine in an unbroken state but vanishes when I break it. Any help would be much appreciated.

You can select an area hatch in a Break View only in its unbroken state; you cannot select an area hatch that crosses a break.

Attached is an image of the views I would like to hatch.

Hi Armand,

In SW 2016 you can select a face and hatch it. Play with the Boundary & region setting. Hatch is selectable in brocken state.

  Thanks for the reply Elmar Klammer.
  
  I determined that when I go to print the drawing, the hatch lines are shown. However, I cannot see them on my computer. So as long as I can print with the hatch lines, I'm happy.

    Hi Armand,
    
    Hatch patterns have a habit to disappear in detailed views, section views and broken views. Never found out exactly why. But it does occur, though mostly in detailed views. Switching to shaded views sometimes you can make them visible. That way you know where they are, but they will disappear when switched back to std. display.
