Autocad Hatch Patterns Code And Also

Generally, to fill an area with a pattern hatches are used and there are plenty of ready-made hatch patterns available in AutoCAD but if you want to use your own custom hatch pattern then you can make it using a type of simple code and also using an express tool called Superhatch.

Making hatches using Superhatch is pretty easy and it does not need any kind of code but you wont be able to transfer these custom hatches from one drawing to other which might be very limiting for most of the uses.

On the other hand, you can easily transfer hatches made with hatch code.

To begin with, I will explain making custom hatch pattern using hatch code than about Superhatch tool.

But if you dont feel like reading the article you can watch this video as well which explains both the methods.

The problem, in a nutshell, is you cant just draw a hatch pattern; you actually have to code the darn thing.

Our own Lynn Allen has referred to the process as CAD torture.

But you get the idea.) Thank goodness for AutoCAD Express Tools; specifically, the SuperHatch command.

The SuperHatch AutoCAD Express Tool enables you to hatch a drawing area using your choice of image, block, xref, or wipeout object.

The palpable joy SuperHatch can bring AutoCAD users is evident in Lynns 5.5-minute video, originally published on the Cadalyst website in 2012, and presented below.

If you want a more in-depth intro to the command, pay a quick visit to the Autodesk Knowledge Network SuperHatch page.

What do you need to know about AutoCAD Express Tools AutoCAD Express Tools extend the power of AutoCAD.

Customers love them; you might say Express Tools enjoy a near-cult following.

AutoCAD users have either created, or requested, virtually all Express Tools.

Express Tools first appeared (as Bonus Tools) in AutoCAD Release 14.

Many were written by users, a couple of whom hired on at Autodesk as full-time programmers.

Their mission: Talk to users andyou guessed itcreate more Express Tools.

So if you have an Express Tools question or problem, your best bet is to visit the Autodesk Community.

Over many AutoCAD releases, quite a few Express Tools have been absorbed into AutoCAD as supported, regular product features.
