Add hatch to drawing!

    Hello

    I'm using WF 2.0

    Imagine a rectangle with another rectangle extruded & centered in the
    middle!

    When I show this in a drawing I want to cross hatch the middle
    rectangle then
    have a note saying what colour the hatched region is, Pantone Reflex
    blue for instance!

    I've created a section through the part which gave the desired effect
    on the drawing, but this is not possible in all cases. I would of
    thought you could, Insert / Hatch / Pick border / Apply hatch.

    Hope this makes sense!

  2. The way I read it you don't want to make cross-sections. Sounds like you
    need to create a cosmetic. 'feature' 'create' 'cosmetic' 'sketch' Select
    'regular sec' and 'Xhatch'. Pick the surface you want to xhatch, then pick
    the edges to create the borders. While in sketch mode you'll only see the
    border. When you're done it will hatch it.

    Hi Dave

    One more thing, how do you modify the hatch?,
    I cant seem to get to the Xhatch menu to change the spacing / Angle etc

    Thanks

  7. I don't think you can change the hatching of a cosmetic in part mode yet.
    But you can change it in drawing mode. Left mouse click on the border of the
    hatched area to highlight it. Then hold the right mouse button and select
    properties. Or use 'edit' 'properties' from the top menu. Either way will
    bring up the menu for the hatching. Unfortunately it doesn't change it in
    the part to match.

    Well, Dave, I was shocked to find that you could change hatch spacing,
    angle, etc. in part mode. You just have to go into 'View>View
    Manager>Xsec', pick the cross section in question, do 'Edit>Redefine' and
    you get the Menu Manager crap for Spacing, Angle, etc
    This sometimes selects better with the selection filter set to X-Section.
