what is the best way to handle overlapping hatches?

[samifox]

Hi

 

Today i had to use hatch a lot, the mission was to hatch extended and and walls that not with different hatch types.

 

the first thing that came up is to use wipeuot under the hatch, but its lots of work and time waste (wipeout objects never been plot-friendly).

 

what do you do when you have to hatch overlapping objects (look the attached image)

 

Thanks

Use hatch boundaries. http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2010/ENU/AutoCAD%202010%20User%20Documentation/index.html?url=WS1a9193826455f5ffa23ce210c4a30acaf-6621.htm,topicNumber=d0e112953

I avoid wipeouts as much as possible. You can trim the underlying hatch using the boundary of the one on top.

what if you move the hatch, you need to recreate the whole thing?

is it possible to create hatch pattern with background so it will act like hatch with whiteout beneath it? (acad 2010-2009)

Avoid Wipeouts, they take up more memory and cause issues when plotting. I would do it as separate hatch boundaries, thus avoided the wipeout.

Did you delete it?

Blue hatch, pick two points, red hatch, pick object. Way too much over thinking going on.

 

Are your blue hatched object edge lines continuing through the red hatched object, and are also hidden by the wipeout? If so, why? Normally, the continuation of hidden lines would be shown with "Hidden Lines" if the viewer has to know they are there.
