kwhitt 18 Posted November 13, 2019 Is there a way to auto-hatch the entire clipped cross section when sending to layout? Or do I have to manually draw the outline and create my own hatch to fill in this area? I know I can use auto detail for insulation, etc., but I want the entire clipped area to be filled with a hatch of my choosing? Possible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kwhitt 18 Posted November 13, 2019 Rob - thanks for the reply. By what method do you mean relatively quick? Shaping a rectangular polyline? If so, I guess that would depend on the complexity of the cross section. If I'm missing something, please speak up. Thanks again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have a fill type for most layers, after auto-detailing a section you can group select all those standard polylines and combine into one polyline, then fill as desired. You'll still need to make some shape adjustments. I just did a quick one, took me about 30 seconds. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwhitt 18 Posted November 13, 2019 Never thought to combine the existing segments. You're right - it didn't take very long to pull out a shape and fill it, but it sure would be a nice feature. Thanks for the tips! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
