How to create a new hatching template in Arbortext IsoDraw 7.1?

Hello!

I created two types of hatching in the file "Hatching_new.iso". One of them is "Type 1" - copied from the template file "DefaultHatchings.iso" in Arbortext IsoDraw 7.1 M070 (located on the path: C: \ Program Files \ PTC \ Arbortext IsoDraw 7.1 \ Program \ Patterns), a second type of "Type 2" - created new and, thus, does not work. Why is hatching "Type 2" does not work properly when hatching a closed object?

Type 2 is no perfect tesselation. You can see this easily if you manually copy the hatched square and align it to the first. Each lineend on one edge should match one on the aligned square.In your case, the diagonal lines have the same distance from each other, but a different distance from the corner of the square!

If you need a hatching with a defined distance of the diagonal lines you might need to adjust the size of the square.

Thank you for the answer. Yes, I need a hatching with a defined distance of the diagonal lines. This size of the frame for the sample hatching (square 50x50 mm) - is a prerequisite for a hatch pattern, or I can use another size (template file "DefaultHatchings.iso" use a square [50x50 mm])?

Does anyone know where is the pattern "CGM_Hatching" placed (in which the program directory of Arbortext IsoDraw, because the file "Cgmhatchings.cgm" (placed in directory "C:\Program Files\PTC\Arbortext IsoDraw 7.1\Program\Patterns") is empty)?
