 Topic: How to put one created block into hatch?
Posted: 17.Jun.2014 at 09:11 |

Hi, I wonder if is it possible to create a block and insert it as hatch in tool pallets, for instance in one 2D drawing through top view, such as terrain height low depression in a kind so they could be placed between two closed polylines. Is it possible through block editor or some kind of XREF or new sheet? It would really be very helpfull, so I hope some help from anyone. Thanks.

Can you use a block as a hatch pattern? Possibly. Check the the Express Tools SuperHatch command.
Can you place the hatch pattern on a Tool Palette? Yes you can.

Thanks for information and I tried Superhatch, I got one type on my block that creates magenta rectangle, and after that when I confirmed it dissapered from screen, so there s captured in the drawing. Another, how could I use that type of superhatch to put it as hatch inside different objects according to same value of hatch? Hm... I use Autocad 2007.

What do you mean "according to same value of hatch"? What "value" are you referring to?
When you use the SuperHatch command you have to pay close attention to what AutoCAD is asking you at the command line. Unfortunately AutoCAD does a poor job of making itself clear which in turn causes the user to experience either no result or an unexpected result.
Are you trying to fit your rectangular block into a non-rectangular boundary? It would work but since it is a solid what's the point? You might as well use the SOLID option in the Hatch command and save yourself the trouble of creating the block and using the SuperHatch command.

Yes. I understand your question and in this case we are talking for instance about two different 2D geometric closed polyline of different height value, so I simply try to fit propriate mark for them along of their general weight in top view plan, and according to their shape that isn t linear in all lenght and does not contain same space lenght between them, so solid mark is not one of them because I hope to use standard mark for inclined plain but to fit them from higher value of polyline to lower 2D polyline

Sorry, I have no idea what you just said or what you are really trying to accomplish. Attach an image or better yet a drawing and maybe if I am lucky I can figure out what you are referring to.
