acad lt 2006 hatch

[dbrlogan]

I am having a lot of trouble getting a hatch in ACAD LT2006. I have followed the help menu from boundaries to individual line selection but just can't get hatches to form on my drawings.

Can anyone help with this?

Try the BOUNDARY command to see if you can form a boundary where you want first.

Thanks
I did try boundary, selecting individual lines, using point, just no hatch is coming thru.

make sure all the intersecting lines actually intersect. if possible make a closed ployline of the area you want to hatch.

 

[dbrlogan]

Thanks
I checked each intersection and do have a closed polyline. that is what is so confusing.

 

[dimjim]

are they at the same depth? or Z dimension?

Is it a scale issue?

 

[dbrlogan]

I have checked elevation and they are all at zero.
I have changed scale of the hatch several times, basically, I have clicked on everything at least once in the hatch window.

 

[borgunit]

Do you have the BHATCH command? You can specify gap tolerance, if you do.

[dimjim]

Do you hatch on a hatch layer and
possibly it is turned off?

I did check elevation but I found out I am on different planes. I only do 2D in ACAD. How do I change everything to one plane?

Thanks

If you have express tools loaded you can use the FLATTEN command to change everything to elevation 0.

Hi,

Express Tools are running only with a 3rd party tool like LT-Extender.

[dbrlogan]

still haven't solved the problem. Nothing I've tried will work. I'm just going to have to try reloading everything.

dbrlogan,

wait, open a new dwg, draw a rectangle, try to hatch. What happens? What can you see in the commandline?

just opened a new drawing for a new design and now the hatch is working. Still can't figure out why it didn't work in other drawings tho.

try it,

command: fill
command: on

One way I sometimes use to hatch a portion of a drawing is to use the region command. Region the section you are trying to hatch, that will make it into one object. Once regioned you can use the hatch command, use the "select object" option and select the region. That should allow you to hatch the section you want to without difficulty.
