Send Hatch Patterns to Back
Comments(6)I hope you had a good New Years. I sure did! I’m just getting back to blogging after a holiday break.
Have you ever been frustrated that your hatch patterns always cover other objects no matter how many times you set the draw order to send it to back?
Type HPDRAWORDER on the command line and set it to 1.
You can also set this in the BHATCH dialog box:
thk u for ur tips
How about using wipeout, and using draw order using text above or in front.
-great tip! This has been bugging me alot lately.
For hatch from others or older drawings, this routine helps!(defun c:HatchBack (/ SS1) (if (setq SS1 (ssget "_x" (list (cons 0 "HATCH")))) (command ".draworder" ss1 "" "back") ))
I also found that occasionally when you open old drawings in a newer version of AutoCAD you run into this issue.
HPDRAWORDER does not work in this case, the only way I found to fix this is to select all the objects then Copy and Paste them into a blank new drawing. Then your Hatch objects will stay set to back.
Worked perfectly.
