Radial Hatching

[rob8lyn]

Ok folks, this is a tough one. Does anybody have any suggestions on an easy way (or LISP routine) to do radial line hatching in AutoCAD 2006. What I mean is the ability to hatch an object, such as a ring (or doughnut) such that the hatching lines are in between the two rings, and are all perpendicular to the circle. Even better would be a generic routine to allow hatch lines to follow arcs (but that would be dreaming too big for now). Perhaps there is some sort of sweep technique that could be exploded into lines? All I need are the lines, actually.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Are you familiar with Polar Array?

Nestly,

Thanks a lot for the tip. With some fiddling, it looks like it can do the basics. An arc hatch routine would be the holy grail, but this trick saves me hundreds (maybe thousands) of steps. Much appreciated.

Cheers
