  2. Press the Hatch button
  3. You may need to press recompute .

Options

None.

Properties

  • DataSource: The View and Face to receive the hatch pattern.
  • DataHatch Pattern: Full path and filename to an SVG pattern file.
  • DataHatch Color: Hatch pattern will be displayed in this color.

Scripting

Hatch can be added to areas in Views using Python.

hatch = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject('TechDraw::DrawHatch','Hatch')
hatch.Source = (view1,["Face0"])
hatch.HatchPattern = hatchFileSpec
rc = page.addView(hatch)

Notes

  • Note that hatch patterns are not included when a drawing page is saved as an Svg file.
