mgmarisa Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'm drafting for an office that likes to create just one single main drawing with everything on top of it (ARCH, STRUC, MEP) and just work frezzing layers on each viewport so of course I have to use "maximize viewport" icon all the time and enter model space from there to work. The problem is when I try to apply hatch it just doesn't show (like if applying hatch to a frozzen layer), I'm very careful making sure that the layer is not frozen or off and still just simply doesn't show, however when I go back to model space is there. It's really lagging my work. Any help or idea on how to fix it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Please pay attention that the trouble-maker layer may be frozen only in that particular viewport - in layers pop-up list, check the third column. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgmarisa Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Thank you for your reply, well the layer is not off or frozen, I can draw any polyline with no problem, then click "hatch" pick inside (is dashes the perimeter) but when accepting it the hatch simply doesn't show, but it is on model space.

WATTMATT ELEC Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Have you checked that the Use paper space units for scaling box is checked in the "linetype manager"? This function has a bearing on how units are view from model to paper space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WATTMATT ELEC Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 You can also try to check the if the polyline is closed when trying to hatch it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSasu Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Another setting that prevents hatches to be display is FILLMODE system variable set to 0. But this will affect also the Model Space, so doesn't seems to be your case. Can you post the trouble-maker drawing (just strip out all not-relevant items)?

Ski_Me Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 isn't there a setting that lets you see all the linetypes and hatches in model space no matter what the scale is? I remember having this exact same issue and the fix was to scale up the hatch or linetype so I could see it in paperspace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azmand01 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm drafting for an office that likes to create just one single main drawing with everything on top of it (ARCH, STRUC, MEP) and just work frezzing layers on each viewport so of course I have to use "maximize viewport" icon all the time and enter model space from there to work.

It's really lagging my work. Any help or idea on how to fix it?Thanks This may be old... but I have the same problem in Plant 3d.. I solved by: creating a new viewport on the same layer as viewport that has the hatching problem I put the same scale on the new view port as the one with the problem Then I matchprop from new one to old one. This solved the problem for me.. however I believe that there's got be a variable controlling that.. since viewport with hatching problem had on overrides through viewport or model space, no frozen layers, no hidden layers, no locked layers. I am still in the hunt for this variable. I hope it helps. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aapostolou@vanhooseco.com Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 A weird quirk I found ... If the hatch was created as Annotative, it shows up in Model Space but not Paper Space. Make sure the hatch is NOT annotative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 You should assign the current viewport annotative scale to the hatch. Someone else might need the hatch to be annotative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammobake Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 it is fine if it is annotative. You just need to turn ON annotative objects in paperspace. Otherwise it wouldn't show up. If the hatch is, indeed, annotative the hatch could actually be present but rescaled so large you can't see it (seen that before). Annotative scaling can sometimes be fighting with the overall scale if someone has been tweaking with it. This can make the scale so large you don't see the hatch at all. A while back my Autocad 2009 stopped being able to hatch at all. In fact anytime i would hatch or extrude something into a 3d solid the program would crash. it turned out Autocad uses a specific DLL file to draw all hatchwork and control geometry into the Z dimension. I ran the repair feature which fixed it and after it worked just fine. But in my case Autocad would crash as soon as I hit enter on the hatch command. -ChriS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
