Hatch

Synopsis

AutoCAD supplies a solid fill and many additional hatch patterns that you can use to differentiate the components of objects or represent object materials. You can choose from a pattern supplied with AutoCAD or from an external pattern library. Custom patterns can also be defined. Patterns can be scaled and rotated as well.

Mixins

BasePart

Canonicals

Name	Type	Description
loops	list	A list of parts, or recursively, similar lists representing inner loops. The parts must be Lines, Arcs, etc., and coplanar. The endpoints must be chainable. The first and last points must be coincident.
patternName	string	Default is "Solid".

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
associative?	boolean	Default is False. If set to True, it is possible to get transitory odd behavior during the process of the update, as the boundary parts are moved by Intent, and as AutoCAD also simultaneously tries to keep the hatch up-to-date.
hatchStyle	name	Default is :Normal. Other choices include :Outer and :Ignore, but it isn't expected that these would be used typically.
patternScale	number	Default is 1.0.
patternAngle	number	Pattern rotation angle in degrees. Default is 0.0.
patternType	name	Default is :Predefined. Could also be :Custom. Note that :UserDefined is not a supported pattern type.
