frankie78 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Hi guys, I've opened a drawing that I've been working on, and something strange has occured in paperspace. There are hatching areas that are missing, but are on in model space, and are not on freeze in VP freeze layer. There are other areas that are on and of which are on the same layer. Therefore it can't be anything to do with layer properties. It's really confusing, can someone help??? fk Quote
manhattan Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 do they appear in print preview and have you tried plotting them? Quote
frankie78 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 I found that the hatching had the option Annotative icon clicked when hatching was created, so I've re-hatched all the areas again without that icon, and it works. I clicked Annotative when creating the hatch in the first place, because I wanted to either lengthen or shorten the area, with the hatching to follow the change. With Annotative I could do this, but without it I can not. Also with text within the area, it also can be moved, and hatching to follow with the change in area. Is there another way to do this???? Cheers Quote
skipsophrenic Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 other than annotative, in short i dont think so, unless you do it manually which can be a right pain. Since we upgraded to 2008 at work i use assosiative for hatches but not my text, Quote

Cheers IMO, this is poosible with ASSOCIATIVE feature & not the annotative. I never use annotative for any thing but my understanding is it changes the scale of the object in resepect to the scale of the viewport, so your hatch chcanges the scale & does not apper properly. but other thing you mentioned is poosible with associative hatches Quote
RichterGMC Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Anything that is annotative can be shown in paper space without having to re-do it all. The little light bulb in the lower right hand corner (tooltip: Annotation Visibility...) is probably turned off in your case (blue bulb). Simply click it to turn it on (yellow bulb) and your annotative figures should show up and print. Best of luck. Quote
