HPLINETYPE (System Variable)

Controls how non-continuous linetypes are displayed in hatch patterns.

Type: Switch
Saved in: Registry
Initial value: OFF

Performance and memory enhancements for hatches were added in AutoCAD 2015-based products. Hatch patterns using non-continuous linetypes do not benefit from these enhancements. It is recommended that you choose a predefined hatch pattern that was defined with a non-continuous linetype, rather than assigning a non-continuous linetype to a hatch pattern.

Value

Description

OFF

Displays continuous linetypes in predefined and custom hatch patterns, regardless of the assigned linetype

ON

Displays non-continuous linetypes in hatch patterns (legacy behavior)

Note: Use the REGEN command to update the linetype display of existing hatch patterns.
