could you just hatch the full area then draw a rectangle around the text and trim?

 

Hey Steven,

I dont think you can trim a hatch pattern. I think he is wanting a solid hatch.

HI Steven.

I am showing and example of what to do here. I am not using ANSI 31 hatch pattern.

 

When you want to HATCH select everything you wish to HATCH. Even the inner rectangle.

i could draw round and trim but i'm sure i used to just drop the hatch in there and it would automatically detect the correct location of the text.

 

it's as if *something* has changed...

 

and since i use it a lot i could do with finding out what the problem is.

did you just use pick points there rather than select objects?

 

Select objects. I should have posted that before.

Thanks

i think i get what he means although not sure how to sort it.

do you mean if there was text in the area you hatched then it would detect there was text there and automatically trim around it?

yeah,

 

the little rectangle in my attachment was created automatically by autocad as it detects text and tries to draw round it except for some reason its offset in the wrong position and i'd like to rectify. do you see?

well when i want it trim around the text i select the object AND the text to hatch. so the only thing i can think of is that maybe you have text thats in an off layer in that area?

i have a box drawn in layer1

 

i have text within box on layer2

 

i then 'pick point' solid hatch onto layer1

 

= strangely offset automatic cut out to hatch

What I did was selected the rectangle and text using SELECT OBJECTS.

 

The I hatched it with no issue.

well, thanks for your help, but even though my colleague and yourselves have no problem, for some reason my situation is - offset.

 

unresolved.
