chrismb1 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I need a custom hatch that will fill an area with question marks. I tried manipulating an existing PAT file created for the number 2, but I can't seem to get it. Does anyone have a PAT that will reflect question marks or see the issue with below.

eldon Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 My initial reaction is that the hatch name is too long and contains a space. I altered the hatch name to QUERY and changed the first line to *QUERY, and got this picture. I think there are a couple of elements that are not quite right, but being able to see it should help you to finalise it. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 There are some hatch pattern maker software out there https://cadtips.cadalyst.com/patterns/hatch-maker trace over a ? to make line work. Not tested but reliable site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 How did you get on with your manipulations? I thought to have a bit of a go and came up with this definition and a picture:- *Query,question mark 90,50,44,100,100,0.75,-1.4,2.85,-95 90,54,53,100,100,1,-99 33.6900576,50,49,55.4700052,83.2050391,3.6055516,-356.949759 33.6900576,150,49,55.4700052,83.2050391,3.6055516,-356.949759 33.6900576,250,49,55.4700052,83.2050391,3.6055516,-356.949759 63.4349489,53,51,89.4427191,44.7213596,2.2360680,-221.3707298 123.6900675,54,54,138.6750491,27.7350098,3.6055512,-356.9495763 180,52,57,100,100,3,-97 225,49,57,70.7106781,70.7106781,3,-138.4213562 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 As there have been quite a few views on this topic, I decided to improve (?) the pattern file, and also scale it for a one unit spacing. *Query1,question mark at unit spacing 90,0.5,0.435,1,1,0.0075,-0.021,0.0265,-0.945 90,0.54,0.53,1,1,0.01,-0.99 33.6900576,0.5,0.49,1.386750443,0.277350338,0.036055516,-3.56949759 63.4349489,0.53,0.51,0.894427191,0.447213596,0.022360680,-2.213707298 123.6900675,0.54,0.54,1.386750491,0.277350098,0.036055512,-3.569495763 180,0.52,0.57,1,1,0.03,-0.97 225,0.49,0.57,0.707106781,0.707106781,0.03,-1.384213562 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
