    Default Hatches not working on some sheets

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi, this happens occasionally.

    The short description is that when I try to make a leader, the arrowhead is hollow instead of solid. And yes, the settings for leader are right.

    Second, if I make a box and try to hatch it, it doesn't work, it simply creates no hatch. No matter what the pattern is.

    Third, it is possible that the sheet already has some filled leaders on it which look great, but if I try to copy a leader, the copy instantly becomes hollow.

    I have no idea why hatches become screwed up on these sheets, it happens pretty rare. But the only way I can fix it is to start a brand new drawing and copy elements one by one and hope the leaders/hatches remain functional.

    What do you think is happening to my hatches? I'll provide some screen shots when I can.

    Thanks

    Hmm, I think that might have worked. I had to do some changing back and forth and saving/reopening to get all the existing leaders filled. And my hatches started working.

    But for some reason I cannot select "closed filled" arrowhead anymore. I can select every other head and it works. But if I choose that one, it reverts to the previous arrowhead. Grrrrr
