dadobojanic Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) I tried all kind of tricks but unfortunately i cant make hatch for VectorWorks Does anyone have something similar to this Spanish Tile roof.DWG pls help im desperate Edited February 23, 2014 by dadobojanic Quote
Dana W Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 It might be one of these. You will have to rename the file extension back to .pat before you use them. I had to change the extension to upload them. The forum won't upload .pat files for some reason. SPANISH1.txt Quote
ReMark Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Begs the question...can Vectorworks utilize .pat files? Quote
dadobojanic Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Sadly it cant.but i think you can set in autocad rectangle,put hatch on it and save it.after that you import in vectorworks.but i dont have autocad Quote
ReMark Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Someone asked a similar question over at the Vectorworks forum. Read the responses here... http://techboard.vectorworks.net/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=183265 So it looks like all you need is a simple AutoCAD drawing with the hatch pattern in it.

Dana W Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I figured there may be some sort of import problem, but I got as close as I could. My experience, which is very limited with Vectorworks, is that dwg files can be brought in somehow. Quote
ReMark Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Dana: That's what the link is all about in my previous post. Quote
Dana W Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Dana: That's what the link is all about in my previous post.Yep, figured so. Quote
eldon Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I think that hatch patterns can only be a series of straight lines. The posted drawing has some nicely curved lines, which could not be duplicated in AutoCAD. Dana W's posted hatch has straight lines only. Perhaps the OP is wanting some kind soul to post a drawing which contains a rectangle which is hatched with the posted hatch pattern. What version of AutoCAD can be imported into VectorWorks? Quote

These ain't straight. Oh, yeah. Never orked with Vectorworks, don't know what can be brought in for sure. Quote
eldon Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 These ain't straight. I am not sure what you are referring to, but this is a detail from your posted drawing. Definitely straight lines. You have only to look at the definition file to see. Quote
eldon Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 And here is a snippet from the OP's drawing. Curved lines (part ellipses) and straight lines. Quote
dadobojanic Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 somehow i managed to put those in vectorworks.a friend had program called hatchkit Quote

You have only to look at the definition file to see.Hey, if I wanted to be corrected for not being observant enough, I'd hang out with my wife all day. No! Wait, I do hang out with her all day. Someone, please help me............oooohhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnoooooooo. Quote
