Is there a way to set wood hatches on a section ? Can we expect such hatch types in further Creo releases ?

[jkoeberle]

Hi forum,

After a few searches on the net, I realize that there are no hatch types for wood included in Creo. Is there a way to create non-regular hatch patterns ? I see that I'm not the only one looking for this possibility. Does someone have tricks to do it or can we expect some PTC improvements in this area ?

I think they have added support for other formats to Creo 4.x

Creo MBD and 2D Detailing Product Update

Creo now supports industry standard hatch pattern files

–*.pat file format

–Hundreds of patterns

Until recently, cross sections could be filled with a solid color, or hatched with one or more lines defined by angle/spacing/offset/style.  Look to Creo 4 for support for non-linear hatch styles.  Wood in particular may be found by Retrieve - customer_patterns.pat from the System Patterns directory - Wood.
