2025 Draw Hatch in lisp or using command line

[Strydaris]

Hi everyone,

 

I am using ACAD2025LT and I was looking into the newer "Draw" hatch feature, where you can type hatch and tell the command that you want to draw a hatch along a sort of polyline that you pick. You can pick Alignment, Width whether its going to be just a rectangle or circle etc etc.

 

The only thing I can seem to figure out is if this can be access using LISP.

I have a few idea for hatching as I create something using LISP, but for the life of me I cant figure out how to use the draw hatch feature with lisp. I know lisp forces the use of "-" on a command when used in a lisp routine. Like if you use (command "hatch" ) in a LISP it will actually do (command "-hatch"). Although if you use -hatch you are given a whole different set of options to pick from and the "draw" option is not there.

 

So my question is, Has anyone been able to use this draw option in a LISP routine?

 

Thanks.

Try using (initcommandversion) before the command call.

Thanks Lee.

 

I got it to work.

Used this

(initcommandversion)
(command-s "hatch")

 

No -hatch or it wouldnt work as intended.

So I am using this to try and take a list of points to use the with the hatch Draw command, but I cant get the Hatch command to accept the points in the list.

I think it has something to do with the command-s needing to start and finish in the same function call, but I am not sure.

Can anyone confirm this?

    (initcommandversion)
    (command-s "hatch" "_k" "_d" "_al" "_o" "_w" "4" "_m" "_p")
    (while (= (getvar "cmdactive") 1 )
        (repeat (setq x (length bd-lst))
            (command (nth (setq x (- x 1)) bd-lst))
        )
        (command "")
    )

Am not sure if that would work, I use something along the lines of this link: 

 

But Lee Macs code - the one I use is VLA- and VLAX- so not sure it would work in LT. There is a simpler example entmake a hatch which might be what you want to do?
