redbeardcad Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I have been using ACAD 2012 for several weeks now with no big issues. I tried to hatch by pick points and the system locked up. If I select an object it will hatch ok. If it is a large area it may take 3-4 min. to think about it, then it doesn't show the pattern in preview but it is there when I hit OK and regenall. I have a Dell Vostro 400. 4.o gig RAM Processor is Intel Core 2Quad Q6600 32 bit What else might I have to reset or change to get this to work? Thanks, Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANIEL Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 trying zooming in on the area so that the intended hatch area is all that is viewable on your screen, I've noticed that sometimes it's like to much on your screen confuses autocad during a hatch operation, not sure why and if this is even your problem but i figure its easy enough to try and rule out if that don't get the hatch working for you.

SLW210 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Try selecting a "Specified Origin". What OS are you using? What Graphics Card do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbeardcad Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 I tried specified origin, no go. I usually zoom in to the area to be hatched. I have an ATI Fire GLV3600 Vista Business o.s. Iwent back to 2010 and hatch works great. Even if it seems to take a while to hatch a large area I can esc. out without crashing. So, it's all in ACAD 2012.

Have you installed the latest updates to 2012? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbeardcad Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 What is the latest update number or date? I'll have to have our IT dept. install since I'm not allowed to do those kind of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
