How to extend hatch for extended boundaries?

[bobsun]

Hi,

 

For a hatch filled region, is there a way to extend the hatch if the region is later extended?

 

 

In the attached screenshot, the yellow highlights show the regions that are “empty” in hatch after the boundary has been changed. My current approach is to first delete the hatch, then re-apply it, but it can be very inconvenient if there are multiple regions to change.

 

Is there a way to automatically associate the existing hatch with new boundary (either extended or shrunk)?

Set the hatch property to Associative (press the > arrow in the bottom right hand of the hatch dialog if you don't see this option) when creating the hatch, or for existing hatches, use Qselect to do this (provided the original boundary still exists otherwise you would have to recreate the boundary first for it to work I think).

I checked the "associative" setting and it is enabled by default. Even with this, there is still no automatic expansion behavior when the boundary has been changed.

Associative usually extends the hatch if you extend the area with the stretch command versus creating new lines to extend the area. I hope that makes sense?
