Weird hatch problem - match properties does not work

1. Open attached drawing

2. Try to match properties of the left hatch with the right hatch

3. Undo

4. Match properties in the other direction

5. Why the results are not the same??? (expected result: 2 hatches that looks exactly the same)

I use plain AutoCAD 2012, full version

weirdhatch.dwg

Strange that the properties of both hatches are identicle yet they display differently.

I have no idea about your problem, but it's easily fixed. When I select the right hatch and go into edit hatch properties, I press OK without making any changes and it becomes identicle to the left hatch. Somehow, it is displaying the hatch pattern at a scale of 0.1 (try changing it to 2 then back to 1, then 0.1).

Thanks for that! I know how to fix it, but I'm trying to understand why it's like that. We have the problem confirmed on a few drawings and on few different PC, so I'm afraid that it's a bug in autocad.

P.S. Changing angle to anything and back to 90 fixes the problem as well.

Look at "Similar Threads" at the bottom of the page, this has come up before.

Thanks, I missed that!

P.S. I want my autocad 2005 back!!!! ;-)
