Type: Interactive/Batch Application

Hatches line

Detailed Description

Fills a user-defined polygon with hatch lines. The lines to be hatched may be identified by pointing at them or a batch hatch may be run on a group of layers.

Parameters

Search Layer (SEALAY=)

When running Hatch Line in batch mode these layers will be searched for lines to hatch.

Hatch Angle (HATANG=)

Angle for hatch lines.

Hatch Increment (HATINC=)

Defines the distance between hatch lines.

Hatch Mode (HATMOD=)

It is possible to make the hatch lines one single line with pen up commands where needed. This reduces the entity count and makes hatch lines easier to delete if needed. Care should be taken however, because other systems that receive these lines may not be able to create pen-up commands like VrOne.

Run Batch Hatch (RUN)

Runs Hatch Line in a batch mode.
