Macro Help - Hatching

[SurveyCAD85]

Hi There

 

We use a number of standard hatches, which are plain solid colors

 

However, we are in the process of changing our standard drawings/hatches.

 

Can anyone help me edit our hatch button(macro).

 

Currently one of our macros is

C^C(command "layer" "t" "grass" "m" "grass" "c" "81" "" "") -bhatch p solid

 

However we would like to have this grass hatch as the following colors

222,253,155

 

We also would like to have this hatch with a transparency of 80

 

Is this possible? If so can someone help point me in the right direction?

Before you do this, is a macro for your hatch the only thing you'll consider?

Because a better solution for this may be a tool palette.

We would consider any suggestions that would provide a similar result

Create the exact hatch you want to use, color, pattern, scale, layer, etc.

 

Drag+drop a sample of it onto a tool palette.

 

Now whenever you want to use that pattern along with all of the other properties, just click on the button in the tool palette to begin the process.

 

There are already some examples in a default tool palette that ships with AutoCAD.

Thank you kindly - we have not looked into the palettes before but will be sure to give it a go

just a secondary thing no need to mix lisp and commands in this macro
