paul1966 Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 just been doing a drawing all going well until i must of altered something without knowing, originally the pline was by default 30 wide and when drawing gave a thick line, now all of a sudden it draws a 600 wide line that is not solid , plus all the other plines i have drawn are now not solid. i am completely stumped, help!! to make it worse i have just noticed all the hatching has disappeared.

CarlB Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Is shademode set to "2d" Is "plinewid" set at 30 "lwt" button clicked off? Smoke coming from monitor? Quote
rkent Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Is shademode set to "2d"Is "plinewid" set at 30 "lwt" button clicked off? Smoke coming from monitor? Set PLINEWID to 30. and check UCS, World. or shademode = 2D Quote
paul1966 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 the pline is now 30 but it does not draw as a solid thick line,shademode is 2d. any hatches are still missing plus if i insert a block with a hatch pattern in it the hatch does not show. opening up another dwg and using pline it works fine so its definitely something i have altered in the drawing.

CarlB Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 OK, also set "fillmode" to 1 (to display pline & solid hatches) Quote

Try setting "Fillmode" to 1. Then regen. CarlB. Ya beat me to it. Are you the same CarlB. I used to post questions to on that other cad forum that died? Can't recall what the name of that one was. Do you remember. I'm pretty sure it's you. Glenn USA Quote

Do you remember. I'm pretty sure it's you. Yes most likely was me, I've been using CarlB since about 2000. I believe you're referring to the www.cadalog.com forum. The site is still there I see, but no forum. Quote
