Applies the properties of a selected object to other objects. Click Modify Match Properties. In the Match Properties Settings Dialog Box, Select Hatch. Enter matchprop in the command prompt. Select destination object(s). Click one or more destination hatch objects. To match the hatch origin, use Inherit Properties in HATCH or HATCHEDIT. This is available only for hatch objects. Nov 18, 2020 Example of the Earth hatch pattern. Let us now add some extra patterns to the custom tab. You are asking “Sam, what custom tab?” Select Hatch on the Ribbon (or type Hatch at the command prompt) then T for Settings. This will bring up the Hatch and Gradient dialog box as shown below. Next select the ellipses as shown next to the pattern name. With Win 10 oem you get the license key and DVD disc media for installation. Autocad 2014 Lt Download. Outlook 2016 for mac download. Command line of AutoCAD also provides access to the layers, hatch patterns, blocks, dimensions and text styles as well. You can expand the usability of AutoCAD tool palettes by making your own palette to store favorite blocks, dimension style, hatch patterns and even commands. Customizing the AutoCAD tool palette: A bit more context When you open Tool Palettes—accessed from the View ribbon tab or the TOOLPALETTES command (TP alias)—you’ll see several tabs.
AutoCAD makes editing hatch objects easy. Editing an existing hatch pattern is simple after you’re familiar with the Hatch Creation tab on the Ribbon. Follow these steps:
- Select the hatch object. AutoCAD opens the Hatch Editor contextual tab on the Ribbon and displays the hatch object’s current settings.
- Make any changes you want and watch the real-time preview as you do. When you’re happy, click Close Hatch Editor to retain the changes.
Alternatively, you can use the Properties palette or the Quick Properties palette to make most existing hatch pattern changes. By default, AutoCAD displays the Hatch Editor tab when you click a hatch object, and it opens the Quick Properties palette when you double-click a hatch object. The Quick Properties palette is especially useful for changing several hatches at a time.
Simple grip-editing is also available. Select a hatch and then hover the cursor over the round, blue center grip. A contextual menu opens to give you quick access to changing the hatch origin, angle, and scale. Don’t be misled by the Stretch option on the context menu, though: You can only move a hatch with this option, and when you do, it loses its associativity to its boundary.
Here are a few other hatch tips:
- To make one hatch look like another (without even opening the Hatch Editor tab): Click the Match Properties button in the Clipboard panel on the Home tab of the Ribbon.
- To mirror drawing geometry that includes hatches without mirroring the hatch angle: Use the MIRRHATCH system variable. This tip can be quite useful when creating drawings of symmetrical objects. Model one half, apply the hatch, and then use the MIrror command to get the other half. The hatch angle remains consistent on both sides of the mirror line.
- To find the area of any hatch object: Simply select the hatch object and then open the Properties palette. The area is listed in the Geometry section, near the bottom of the palette.
Don’t go overboard with hatches. Their purpose is to clarify, not to overwhelm, the other geometry in the drawing. If your plots comprise a patchwork of hatch patterns, it’s time to simplify.
Always apply hatches last, if you can. The Hatch command is smart enough to recognize text and dimensions that fall within the hatched area. It treats them like sterile eggs and automatically omits hatch zones around them. If you forget, or if you need to add a note later in a hatched area, apply background masking to the text.
In the AEC world, Bluebeam Revu is becoming increasingly common for the estimation and quantity takeoffs from PDF files. The reason is that Bluebeam Revu comes with a set of really smart tools that allow the estimators to quickly measure and takeoff quantities from their PDF files. They can also collaborate with other estimators on the same PDF file for collaborative estimation of large projects.
In fact, as per one of the reports, Bluebeam Revu allows you to prepare your bids 70% faster using the estimation and quantity takeoff tools available inside this program. This is awesome..
Now, in most cases, the estimators prefer to color-code the areas that have been estimated (or measured). But what if you also want to hatch those areas? While adding area measurements to the PDF files, you can also add standard Bluebeam Revu hatches, as shown in the image below:
But I come from the AutoCAD background and I would prefer my AutoCAD hatches to be used for hatching the area.
Free Hatch Pattern
Guess what.. Bluebeam Revu allows you to import your AutoCAD hatches.
Yayyyyyy!!!!
Here is the procedure to do that:
1. Click the area measurement where you want to insert the AutoCAD hatch.
2. From the Properties tab, click the Hatch list > Manage, as shown below; the Manage Hatch Pattern Sets dialog box is displayed.
3. In the dialog box, click Add to display the Add Hatch Pattern Set dialog box.
4. In this dialog box, click New and then enter the title of the new hatch pattern set, as shown below.
5. Click OK in this dialog box; the Hatch Pattern Editor dialog box is displayed.
6. In this dialog box, click the Import AutoCAD Pattern button near the top right.
7. Browse to the Support directory of AutoCAD/AutoCAD LT. Generally, for AutoCAD 2016 it is:
C:Users<username>AppDataRoamingAutodeskAutoCAD 2016R20.1enuSupport
8. Double-click the .PAT file that you want to import (ACADISO.PAT or ACLTISO.PAT for Metric and ACAD.PAT or ACLT.PAT for Imperial).
9. If there are some hatch patterns that could not be imported, you will be informed about it. Rest all the imported hatch patterns will be displayed in the Hatch Pattern Editor dialog box, as shown below.
10. Click OK in this dialog box and then OK in the Manage Hatch Pattern Sets dialog box; all the AutoCAD hatches that were imported will now be listed in the Hatch list for you to use, as shown below.
The best part is, once you use this hatch pattern in your area measurement, you can then add that measurement into your own tool set so that next time the area measurement automatically uses your AutoCAD hatch pattern. Nada dering line original.
