- Hatches all selected polygons on the same plane.
-
- 1. (POINT) first reference point for hatch base line
- 2. (POINT) second reference point for hatch base line
- 3. (POINT) reference point for hatch direction
- 4. (NUM) hatch angle (0-360)
- 5. (NUM) hatch interval (greater than 0)
- 6. (NUM) shift hatch (greater than 0)
- 7. (Y/N) hatch on another plane ? (y)
- (for more hatch on this plane: "n")

- Description:
- This command hatches all polygons that are selected and exist on the same
- plane or are parallel to it.
- Pick two points defining a reference line on one of the polygons. This will
- serve as a reference for the hatching (angle of hatch and initial shift). Pick
- a third point on the polygon, specify the hatching angle. Enter a number
- (other than 0) specifying the desired interval between hatch-lines and the
- distance of the first hatch-line from the reference (base line).
-
- These parameters will remain as default values throughout the work session or
- until other values are specified.
- The selected polygons on the current plane or parallel to it, will be hatched.
- You will then be prompted for more polygons on another plane or further
- hatching on the current plane.
- If you wish to hatch more selected polygons on other planes, you will be
- prompted to define the two reference and one direction point on that plane but
- the previous hatch parameters will be retained by the system and will be used.
- If you select to hatch further on the same plane, you will only be prompted
- for new hatch parameters. You may hatch it repeatedly, varying the angle, the
- spacing, and the shift, thus creating complex patterns.
- Hatch-lines slow down the redrawing of the model, so that they will only be
- redrawn upon request via the \refh command.
- Hatched areas are regarded as polygons. You may not select an individual
- hatch-line (e.g., for updating its color). A hatched area may be broken into
- several hatched entities if the number of lines within it exceeds a given
- limit.
