    I am looking for a wall hatch pattern to Pochette walls in plan view.
    I do it by hand when doing pencil drawings, but have yet to locate a
    hatch pat for AutoCad.
    Any and all help is appreciated greatly.

  2. You can't find any hatch patterns for AutoCAD?!?
    How long have you been with Acad?
    What's wrong with ANSI31?

    Well Michael,
    I asked about a particular hatch pattern for AutoCAD. If you
    would read the question before you started to spout off you would see
    that. And "what is wrong with ANSI31?" You do know what "Pochette"
    looks like? ANSI31 is a 45 degree line, oh wow that will look real
    tacky for the prospective home buyer. Pochette is light wavy lines in
    the wood wall sections in plan view of a drawing. I tried spline,
    hated it, and all the wood hatches I have seen look way to busy. I
    was just hoping someone had seen or knew of a Pochette pattern. I have
    hundreds of hatch patterns, just not the one I am looking for. So, try
    reading next time chief.
    No offense but, I suppose I could ask you "Been reading long?"

  4. Actually, you didn't. Read your own post.
    It is a word that refers to the solid parts of a plan. Often it is
    represented by
    solid ink fill. In the Beaux Arts era it was often dipicted in a water color
    wash,
    often pink, evoking cut flesh, and the edge of it was called the
    "bloodline".
    I know something about the subject-enough to know that there is
    NO STANDARD WAY OF RENDERING IT, Horatio :p
    Diagonal hatching is a time-honored way of rendering it. What you think is
    tacky
    or not has yet to pass the same test. How good it looks depends on the skill
    and
    judgement of the draftsman, and the taste and cultural baggage of the
    viewer.
    You might want to cite a reference to support this claim, as I do not accept
    it.
    Wavy lines are a traditional way of rendering plans of buildings
    MADE OF WOOD OR WOOD FRAME, in my experience.
    There are several "wavy line" hatches on my site. Like everyone else,
    you are still welcome to try them. Are you sure you know what you're doing?
    I do actually read pretty well. I notice that you have clipped out the
    original
    post from your reply. I include it below in case you forgot what you wrote:

    Direct your attention to the line where you say:

    "I....have yet to locate a hatch pat for AutoCad."

    Nowhere do you say what YOU think pochette is. Had you done so,
    I would have been able to direct you to possible options. Now before you go
    off about how I should have inferred something because you think that you
    implied something, try reading what you WROTE, because that's ALL that I
    did.

    You never answered my question, did you? How long has it been?

  5. BTW, it's "poche" not "pochette"
    pronounced

    Poe-shay

    For a while I used solid, and made it a colour that plotted grey, but alas
    HP/XP drivers lacked the same ability as R14 for my HP Designjet 600 so it
    would only plot black, so now we use 'earth' as the pattern.

    Well once again Michael.
    The words were "a hatch pattern" (denotes singular genius) not
    "any hatch patterns"(denoting Multiples). And I have seen it spelled
    both ways, I prefer the way I was taught in 1975 thank you. And "Blue
    Prints" were once made by sticking them out windows to sit in the sun,
    so what's your point on the historical origins of "pochette", hell I
    can spell it any way I feel like. I was just looking for what I was
    taught was an acceptable pattern, excuse the F*** out of me for
    asking, there Bubba.
    And if it is any of your business, which it isn't, I first sat
    down to a CAD program in 1987 on a Wang computer system. I have never
    liked CAD, I prefer to draw by hand. But since a near fatal accident
    took most of my mobility away in 2000 and I am now semi retired and
    simply doing residential, I find I can do it on CAD with minimal
    effort. I didn't ask how to install a hatch, draw a line, rotate a
    block or attach an xref did I? No, I just was looking for "A" "HATCH"
    "PATTERN". Jesus Christ, tell me you work solo. There is no way in
    hell anyone would work with you. I bet your single as well. Or maybe
    even Multiple divorces? Me, I have been married to the same women
    since 1980. I have done things the same way for most of 30 years so
    don't tell me how to spell, how to draw or any thing else. I am not
    your employee, wife or child but, if I was, it would be justifiable
    patricide. Get off your high horse you pompous, arrogant, elitist
    snob. "Don't go away mad, just go away."

    I think you've just severely limited the number of replies you're likely to
    get here in the future.

  9. I think you mean "genus". "Genius" has another, and in this context,
    somewhat ironic meaning : }
    As long as you can live with being wrong, yes you can spell as you please.
    My point was that I am familiar with the concept with a
    broad historical perpsective, not just "what I learned in drafting class".
    Now you're making my point. What you were taught and what actually is
    the case may not be the same thing. In my experience, there is no ONE
    way to do this as your posts ASS-u-MEs.
    I was asking about Acad, not Any-cad. How long has it been? Not that it
    matters
    that much. It's just that your questions seem to imply a lack of experience.
    Everyone has to start somewhere, sometime.
    I'm sorry to hear about your misfortunes, but your post said you have
    "yet to locate a hatch pat for AutoCad". Then you insinuated that I can't
    read.
    For the record I LOVE CAD!
    No I don't.
    Wrong again.
    I'm at a loss to understand the relevance of this to the topic.
    I'm NOT surprised.
    The regulars on the group will know that I am a cad-libertarian. I don't
    tell
    people how to do anything. I expect that they know best for themselves
    how they should work. I admit I do believe that English made a step
    forward with standardization of spelling, but you are free to do as you
    "plz".
    Let me remind you that YOU were the first to accuse me of not reading well,
    and YOU were the one "aksing" for help.
    All three are smarter than you by a good measure, and they
    continue to learn from others, including me sometimes. You
    seem to me like a frustrated, rather provincial guy resistant to change.
    You're probably new to newsgroups and newsreaders as well, so hear some
    parting advice:

    Usually these agents have a "killfile" or "block sender" function that
    prevents someone's posts
    from appearing on your screen. I suggest that you learn how to use it. When
    you
    want to advise someone that you have just, or are about to killfile them,
    the common
    notice in the word "plonk" between the greater-than and less-than symbols
    (used as
    brackets in HTML). Like this:

    No you didn't. you asked about something that has a wide range of
    interpretations and asked in a very general way.
    That's your interpretation. That's all you had to do in the first place is
    specify what you were looking for.

    Michael is a regular and very helpful poster in this group. If you ask him a
    clear question, he will give you a clear answer. The problems you are having
    are of your own making. Your attitude is paving your way to a lot of
    killfiles. At this point, you aren't in mine as I figure that everyone has a
    bad day. This isn't a regular thing, is it?

    Actually I meant Genius, quite sardonically there bright boy.
    And I'm not the one using Outhouse Express to read newsgroups am I? No
    I am not new to Usenet nor the internet nor PC's. Yet I was willing to
    ask a question, look for some advice, as it were. Did you respond,
    "well gee there bob what type pattern are you looking for?" No you
    felt the need to luad the degree that your momma and daddy paid for
    over the heads of those of us that actually work for a living. "EXCUSE
    ME", and kill filter me all you want, your opinion matters as much to
    me as the winds that blow effect my world around me. Little bitta
    noise and it moves some garbage, otherwise NUTHIN IMPORTANT.
    Don't let the door hitcha where the Lord splitcha chucklehead.

    Bob,

    You can draw a custom hatch pattern or import a sketch from your CAD
    package with HatchKit. Download a demonstration from
    www.cadro.com.au/hatchkit

    hth,
    Hugh
