SurveyCAD85 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 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? Quote
rkmcswain Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 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. Quote

rkmcswain Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 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. Quote
SurveyCAD85 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Posted February 23, 2016 Thank you kindly - we have not looked into the palettes before but will be sure to give it a go Quote
