Rubble hatch problem

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Michael Pape & Associates, Dec 21, 2004.

  1. Hi Folks. I've posted three files to the customer files area. The subject
    is "rubble hatch files".

    The question is, the rubble hatch as shown in the good file only works in
    brand new drawings. Whenever we try to use it in a "real" situation, it
    appears as it does in the bad file. What could be causing this? The
    problem could be solved by a similar hatch that actually works if someone
    could point me to that.

    The bad file is an actual drawing that I have erased everything out of, so
    the culprit is in there somewhere.

    Thanks! Allison

    I don't know what your dwg with the bad pat is, but superpurge purged 396 items
    and the pat was still bad. However, I hatched several dwgs and had no problems.
    One thing I did notice was that your pat was set to be unassociated - not that
    it would make any difference.

  3. Well, I found my own solution. It's the snapbase variable. Apparently when
    you get too far from 0,0 it freaks some hatches out, and all you have to do
    is type in snapbase and click near where you're drawing. Update bad hatch
    with hatchedit, problem solved!
