Hatch

You can add hatch to a continuous area or an area limited by a continuous line. There can be areas without hatching inside the area delimiting the hatching.

Hatching can be created by means of 3D projection and lines that have been added (drawn) to the drawing later on. You can select the hatch type and its properties directly. Select the search method for selecting the edge line of a hatch.

1. Select Hatches> Hatch.
2. Select the hatch properties from the following.

   Hatch Properties
   Hatch Type
   Hatch Style

3. Select the search method of an edge line.

   For example, select Automatic Limit Search. Setting the Limits

4. Click the edge line of the hatching area, according to the selected search method.
5. Do as follows:
   • 2D drawing: Select the edge line of the hole.
   • Model drawing: Select an edge line from the projection.
6. Select Confirm.

A continuous area may contain one or more holes. Select the outermost edge line of the hatch and the edge lines of the holes when adding a hatch.

Note

• Vertex G4: Model drawing – In a model drawing, the section hatch can be determined in the part properties. If you have changed the hatch in the model drawing by using the function Hatches> Hatch, you can cancel the change by removing the hatch from the projection and by selecting the context-sensitive function Update. This will update the hatch defined in the part properties to the section view.
• Hatch Origin – You can indicate an origin for a hatch in a 2D drawing or model drawing projection.
