Good afternoon, is there any way to select a hatch and then click an area and generate that same hatch?

 

with the same properties.

@leonucadomi Give this a try: (defun c:foo (/ a b e h hp p x) ;; RJP » 2022-09-08 (cond ((and (setq e (car (entsel "\nPick source hatch: "))) (= "HATCH" (cdr (assoc 0 (entget e))))

MA - Matchprop.

as described, yes it is possible though match properties could be nearly as easy. I'd have to dig about later today to put something together, nut personally I'd do as RonJonP

Just select the hatch you want then right-click then click Add Selected and pick what you want hatched.

Couldn't possibly get any easier than that!

An extra comment ok copy hatch from another dwg, then paste into current dwg, then use matchprop but hatches go silly, this is caused by a quirk in hatches, we worked in real world co-ordinates, 580,000 270,000 so the fix is simple, you reset the hatch origin point by picking a point in current dwg area, look in properties, eg Conc hatch pattern, some of the others are affected also but not all.

I do it by copying properties with MA - Matchprop., but but i want to make fewer moves ,

 

and what occurs to me is to touch a hatch , capture their properties and copy them by selecting a point within an area.

 

it would be a total of two steps.

 

1.- (entsel)  the origin hatch

 

 

2.- (getpoint)  the interior point of the area.

 

they are just my ideas. :)

Write the steps down for a manual version, that is the same you need to do in a lisp.

 

Look into using say VL-get-layer, vla-get-name a little bit easier than (cdr (assoc 8 (entget (car ent))))

Hi @leonucadomi

I've found this topic - see if it helps.

I used it,and it's work very well.

the only thing that for me is missing there is setting the source pattern color to the new one as well.

I've tried to get the source pattern color and set it to the new one using this line but faild: 

(setvar "HPCOLOR" (setq ihatch-color (cdr (assoc 63 ent)))) ; find the Hatch color and set it

but other then that it is workig very well.

hope it will help you.

Using MA - Matchprop or Add Selected gets all the properties including color!

Hi @ronjonp

I've tried to use your code but it failed.

when i run the code it lets me pick the source hatch and then the lisp ends without 

continue to the HATCH command and without any error massages  - it just ends...

I'm using Bricscad so mybe that is the reason and some adjusment need to be done?

 

regards,

aridzv.

Strange ... maybe you can debug it in the BLADE editor?

@ronjonp - O.K., got it...

here is a screenshot of the error I get when debugging with BLADE:

Blade is built into Bricscad ?

It is...

I've edit my previous reply....

it is the first time I'm using it...

@ronjonp

O.K.!!

I've remooved gradientcolor1 & gradientcolor2 from the properties list and it's working!!

In addition to the new lisp, I also learned about the BLADE debugging tool,

so thanks x 2.. 🙂

Nice program. :)

 

I was hoping to retain the boundaries. I've modified the script to include "Undo handling, hiding objects and retain boundaries).

 

Is it doable to retain the boundaries but set the layer to something?

 

Here's my version: 

(defun c:foo (/ *error* a b e h hp p x ssHide var_cmdecho var_hpannotative var_hpassoc var_hpbound var_hpboundretain var_hpseparate var_osmode var_selectioncycling var_snapmode)

  ;  2023.03.03, 3dwannab edit, added undo handling and hiding objects, also retain boundaries.

  (defun *error* (errmsg)
    (and acDoc (vla-EndUndoMark acDoc))
    (and errmsg
         (not (wcmatch (strcase errmsg) "*CANCEL*,*EXIT*"))
         (princ (strcat "\n<< Error: " errmsg " >>\n"))
    )

    ;;; Unhides the selection set
    (if ssHide (acet-ss-visible ssHide 0))

    (setvar 'cmdecho var_cmdecho)
    (setvar 'hpannotative var_hpannotative)
    (setvar 'hpassoc var_hpassoc)
    ; (setvar 'hpbackgroundcolor var_hpbackgroundcolor) ;; No need to use this. The add selected command will get this.
    (setvar 'hpbound var_hpbound)
    (setvar 'hpboundretain var_hpboundretain)
    (setvar 'hpseparate var_hpseparate)
    (setvar 'osmode var_osmode)
    (setvar 'selectioncycling var_selectioncycling)
    (setvar 'snapmode var_snapmode)
  )

  (setvar 'hpseparate 1) ; Separates the hatches to each boundary.
  (setvar 'selectioncycling 2) ;; 0 = The display options are turned off, 1 = A badge displays when you hover over objects that overlap, 2 = Both a badge and the Selection dialog box displays.
  (setvar 'snapmode 0) ; gridsnap: 0 off, 1 = 0n

  ;; Put any text, leaders, multileaders or dimensions into a selection set and
  ;; hides them. The error handler will undo this.
  (setq ssHide (ssget "_X" '((0 . "*TEXT,LEADER,MULTILEADER,DIMENSION"))))

  (acet-ss-visible ssHide 1) ; Hides ssHide

Trying to fix the issue where the gradientangle gradientcentered gradientcolor1 gradientcolor2 gradientname properties are unavailable.

 

dumpAllProperties shows this for the problem hatch object attached.

  

GradientAngle (type: double)  (LocalName: Gradient Angle) = Failed to get value
GradientCentered (type: bool)  (LocalName: Centered) = Failed to get value
GradientColor1 (type: AcCmColor)  (LocalName: Color 1) = Failed to get value
GradientColor2 (type: AcCmColor)  (LocalName: Color 2) = Failed to get value
GradientName (type: HatchGradientNameEnum)  (LocalName: Gradient name) = Failed to get value

 

 

I tried to solve it with this but no luck.

  

;; Problem props
(setq props '(associativehatch backgroundcolor elevation entitytransparency gradientangle gradientcentered gradientcolor1 gradientcolor2 gradientname hatchobjecttype hatchstyle isopenwidth layer linetype linetypescale lineweight material origin patternangle patterndouble patternscale patternspace plotstylename truecolor visible))

;; This works by removing: gradientangle gradientcentered gradientcolor1 gradientcolor2 gradientname
; (setq props '(associativehatch backgroundcolor elevation entitytransparency hatchobjecttype hatchstyle isopenwidth layer linetype linetypescale lineweight material origin patternangle patterndouble patternscale patternspace plotstylename truecolor visible))

(setq ent (car (entsel "\nSelect Bad Bad Hatch : ")))
(setq en (vlax-ename->vla-object ent))
(setq enprops (vl-remove 'nil (mapcar '(lambda (p) (if (vlax-property-available-p en p f) (cons p (vlax-get-property en p)))) props)))

(princ enprops)
