Hello Everyone,
This is my first post. The intention of creating such a blog is to share some tricks in AutoCAD which would make your life much easier. I know there are thousands of other blogs. Still, I would be happy and would consider my effort is paid, if someone gets benefited out of this post. Ok... enough of talking...!! So let me just start with my first post.
Here we go....
This
hatch has been made using the hatch scale factor 1. This has been done with
scale factor set to 1, to know the measurement the person who created this
pattern, has considered for the tiles. But how will you measure the tile size
now? You can’t dimension a hatch right..?? No… You can…!!
Go to Options by typing OP <Enter>, Go to Drafting Tab. Go to Object Snap Options and check off “Ignore hatch objects”. This will enable you to dimension a hatch object.
Now, Dimension a tile and see the value.
Ah… now that we got the real size of the tile. It is 0.1250 here. Your required tile size is 600 x 600. So, divide 600 by 0.1250 which is 4800.
Now do a normal hatch. Assume that your result is something like this below.
Yes…. We got it….!!!
Click on “Specified Origin” and click on the button below.
You can set any hatch to any origin point this way..!! Enjoy and hatch is no more a headache…!!!
Wait for more... Have a nice day friends…!!

Here we go....
You
have to create an RCP for a building. The tile size what you are using is 600 x
600 mm. Drawing the grid manually would consume too much of time. So, what is
the solution? Did you say that??….Yes..The Hatch.
But,
while using the hatch command, there are certain things which you need to take
care.
What
is my tile size? It is 600 x 600. Lets see….. Look at the hatch below.
Go to Options by typing OP <Enter>, Go to Drafting Tab. Go to Object Snap Options and check off “Ignore hatch objects”. This will enable you to dimension a hatch object.
Now, Dimension a tile and see the value.
Ah… now that we got the real size of the tile. It is 0.1250 here. Your required tile size is 600 x 600. So, divide 600 by 0.1250 which is 4800.
So
you got your hatch scale. It is 4800.
Now do a normal hatch. Assume that your result is something like this below.
Now,
measure a tile and see…
Yes…. We got it….!!!
But,
there is a small problem, Look at the corner….
You
want to start with a full tile at this corner. What to do….??? No idea…..??
Select
hatch and go to edit. In the hatch edit dialogue box, you will see an option to
set the origin.
Click on “Specified Origin” and click on the button below.
Click
at the corner and press enter key. You did it…!!! See the result below.
You can set any hatch to any origin point this way..!! Enjoy and hatch is no more a headache…!!!
Wait for more... Have a nice day friends…!!
