Hatching

Hello!

Is there some kind of a comand that all the hatches (including solids) are allways behind the lines, these hatches allways comes in front of lines after modifications (color change or...)

And why does my "Send to back" comand dont work, works only "bring to front".

(AutoCad 2007)

thanx

hpdraworder

hpdraworder

and the value? (to send all hatch behind)

0 None. The hatch or fill is not assigned a draw order.

1 Send to back. The hatch or fill is sent to the back of all other objects.

2 Bring to front. The hatch or fill is brought to the front of all other objects.

3 Send behind boundary. The hatch or fill is sent behind the hatch boundary.

4 Bring in front of boundary. The hatch or fill is brought in front of the hatch boundary.

doesnt works for me or I just dont understand what to do.

1 Should give you what you want, but if you send to back anything else, it will no longer the the 'back' object.

I use this simple LISP from time-to-time.

(defun c:HaB (/ ss)
 ;; Send all Images and Hatch to back
 ;; Alan J. Thompson, 12.23.10
 (sssetfirst nil nil)
 (foreach pair '((0 . "HATCH") (0 . "IMAGE"))
   (if (setq ss (ssget "_X" (list pair (cons 410 (getvar 'ctab)))))
     (command "_.draworder" ss "" "_back")
   )
 )
 (princ)
)

I normally just Quickselect all hatches and Send to Back.

But my Send to back comand doesnt work, works only Bring to front.

Are your hatches in xrefs or blocks? Apparently the draw order gets reversed in those cases.

select hatch

'draworder'

'back'

I've seen someone recommend that in a forum post, it looked so useful I noted it down, but I can't find the original post.

Hi alanjt,

It is possible to made the routine work in both model and paper space in one shot, instead only in the current space?

Thanks!

FYI, sometimes when a hatch "moves" to the front, it is just your display. A simple regen may "move" it back.
