Description
The Hatch tool fills a closed region in a View with a Hatch pattern. Patterns are created as SVG or bitmap files. Sample SVG patterns are available in ".../Mod/Draft/Resources/patterns".
How to use
- Select an closed region in a View. The region will turn green.
- Press the Hatch button
- 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.
- ViewHatch Color: Hatch pattern will be displayed in this color.
- ViewHatch Scale: Hatch pattern size modifier.
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
- Hatching is vulnerable to the infamous "topological naming problem". Best Practice is to defer Hatching until the design is stable.
- Note that Svg hatch patterns are not included when a drawing page is saved as an Svg file.
