Hatching in Sectional View and Cut-Out (3-D)

3-D Standard > Tools > Attr. > Hatch section + cut-out

You can define an individual hatching per component and view for those section surfaces that result from sections, cut-outs or detail areas. Make the settings you want and click OK to exit the dialogue window.

The dialogue window consists of the following areas:

Settings
Specifies whether the default setting is to be used for the section surfaces of a component or the display is to be determined on an individual basis.
Apply to
Defines the parts and views to which the selected settings are to be applied.

Settings
	Pattern according to drawing setting In all drawings (before version 1205), the corresponding view settings are used for patterns, line spacing and line angles of the section surfaces. For version 1205 and higher, HiCAD knows the relevant hatch pattern for certain materials. If you have assigned such a material (e.g. cast iron or aluminium alloy) to a component, the hatch pattern assigned to the material is used for the section surfaces. If you select Properties > Hatching in the context menu of the drawing you can shade all section surfaces – regardless of view - either according to material catalogue or by means of parallel lines.
	Individual Hatching According to material If a material for which HiCAD knows the appropriate hatch pattern has been assigned to the part, this pattern is used; otherwise, the hatch pattern of the view is used. From view The hatch pattern of the view is used. Choose pattern You select the hatch pattern explicitly. Offset/Angle Take over from view /Value input Spacing between and angle of the hatching lines can either be taken over from the view or defined on an individual basis. If the values are specified individually, the angle distinguishes between non-oriented and oriented hatching.

Pattern according to drawing setting

In all drawings (before version 1205), the corresponding view settings are used for patterns, line spacing and line angles of the section surfaces.

For version 1205 and higher, HiCAD knows the relevant hatch pattern for certain materials. If you have assigned such a material (e.g. cast iron or aluminium alloy) to a component, the hatch pattern assigned to the material is used for the section surfaces.

If you select Properties > Hatching in the context menu of the drawing you can shade all section surfaces – regardless of view - either according to material catalogue or by means of parallel lines.

Individual

Hatching
According to material
If a material for which HiCAD knows the appropriate hatch pattern has been assigned to the part, this pattern is used; otherwise, the hatch pattern of the view is used.
From view
The hatch pattern of the view is used.
Choose pattern
You select the hatch pattern explicitly.

Offset/Angle

Take over from view /Value input

Spacing between and angle of the hatching lines can either be taken over from the view or defined on an individual basis. If the values are specified individually, the angle distinguishes between non-oriented and oriented hatching.

Apply to
	Part (without sub-parts) The settings only apply to section surfaces of the active part only, i.e.not its sub-parts.
	Assembly (with sub-parts) The settings apply to the section surfaces of the whole assembly, i.e. the active part and its sub-parts.
	Active view Section surfaces of the active part (assembly) are only displayed in the active view, in line with the selected settings.
	All views The section surfaces are displayed in all views, in line with the selected settings.
	Default setting for new views Activate the checkbox if you also want the selected settings to be taken into account in subsequently created views.

Make the required settings and exit the dialogue window with OK.
