Split hatching on assembly cut

[joe_c]

Folks

I have a tube assembly that is cut in half and mated back together. Subsequently, the two parts will have two separate hatching areas even though is the same assembly. Unfortunately, the cut thicken or any other feature doesnt separate the hatching only new components does. I read that i can trace the envelope and hatch/fill it.  Seems a lot of work since my assembly has tons of feature holes. Any other options?

thanks

The best thing I can think of is to modify the hatch settings for both to the same angle and spacing then adjust the offset of one to match the other.

On the other hand, once cut apart, they are two different parts and normally should be shown as such.
