spray foam insulation hatch pattern for autocad

Watson has donated these hatch patterns to the AutoCAD community.

Any hatch pattern you find should work with any previous or future version of AutoCAD.

In previous releases osnaps would honor hatches, in 2005 they are ignored by default.

To turn on the snap to hatch, access the OPTIONS dialog (Tools menu), go to the Drafting tab, and in the lower left you will find the toggle.

As a result of this change, the BHATCH dialog completely ignores the hatch slide contained in the slide libary.

It choose instead to create a very small (nearing unreadable) swatch on the fly, which takes a significant amount of time if you have hundreds of patterns.

As such this procedure may not be applicable unless you intend to compile your hatchs into a IMAGE menu.

For terms of discussion we will use the GRAVEL.PAT found floating on the web.

Note that this pattern does not have sufficient precision to properly display in large coordinate mapping, but should work well in most other applications.

However since our final goal is to have this pattern available in the BHATCH dialog, a little more work is required.

In the event that something goes wrong we can restore without having to reinstall.

It is a good idea to do a search to make sure that the pattern definition you are about to add does not already exist.

If you do not care about the order that your pattern appears in the BHATCH list, then simply paste the contents of the pattern definition at the end of the file.

If you would like to maintain alphabetical order, carefully find the appropriate position in the middle of the list and insert your pattern there.

The following steps can be used to create a hatch representation in R14.

Slides are clipped at the viewport boundaries, and it would be difficult to maintain this without the viewport.

However before doing so it is recommended that you create a unique directoryfolder to contain this and other slides.

We will need to add more slides to this directory to rebuild the ACAD.SLB.

In this case we are also using the ON switch to order by name, and the B switch for bare (no size, date) listing.

Finally with the sign we are redirecting the output to create (or overwrite) the file SLIDE.INP.

For the most convenience, you may want to move or copy the SLIDELIB.EXE from the AutoCAD directory to the slides directory to eliminate the cryptic DOS path.
