Guest Alan Cullen Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 It dosn't explode with the explode command. At least in 06... Well there you go.......all other hatches will explode......so it comes down to the original question........why do you want to explode it in the first place?

fuccaro Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 If you explode a "regular" hatch you get lines. The explosion of a dotted hatch will return dots. But what do you expect from exploding a solid hatch? Maybe do you need the boundary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC1956 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I'd like to accomplish this as well. I have a file converted from PDF, and would really, really like to not redraw the darned thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 This thread is about exploding a solid hatch. Is that what you are inquiring about? As asked many times previously in this thread, what do you hope to gain by doing this? What type of result are you expecting? Or is your question regarding pdf to dwg conversion?

MikeC1956 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I have a dwg file. It was the product of a pdf to dwg conversion. When it converted, the lines were converted into solid hatch. it was in regards to exploding the solid hatch.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donryl Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 explode command dont explode the hatch. the reason why i need to explode the hatch is for me to upload the file in making backing sheet for other software. because if it's a hatch or block it will not including during the uploading.

CyberAngel Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 If you absolutely positively have to have a solid background, use a striped hatch (such as ANSI31) at such a small scale you can't see space between the lines. Explode the hatch. You'll have thousands of lines, but you'll have your solid hatch. You may want to experiment with the scale to see how few lines you can get away with and still have it look solid--the more lines you have, the larger the file will be. I've seen exploded dot hatches that add 5MB to a drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Taylor Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 You can also use a polyline, and set the thickness of it to whatever you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 TRACE command? Or maybe SOLID command? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
