Hi,

in CR2 you can define crosshatching pattern in drawing view with section. MOD XHATCH menu enables you to define pattern and save it into .xch file.

Hi,

file format is not public. Therefore its contents is confidential. You can edit XCH files in Creo Parametric, only.

Try to reverse engineer it by building various crosshatch styles and comparing the .xch files.

It looks very similar to the old config.win files.

Yes i tried to understand by changing one by one parameter and sees its effect in section. I understand for angle parameter but other parameters not able to understood. So was expecting some documentation or link for study this.

 

Thanks & Regards,
