[Fixed] Odd behavior with hatching style/attributes

Post by RoamingBob »

Doing a drawing at 1" = 1' scale.
Got a hatched box shown in below png named 3 inch input hatching with the input attributes in top of composite image. Note hatching distance is 3 in.

If the style attributes are reopened, the hatching distance is now reported as 0.118 inches - seem image Reopened Hatching.png. If this is then directly applied, the hatching is so dense as to appear black as presented in the bottom of composite image.

This is a bit confounding, since glimpsing the hatching attributes does not immediately make it clear how to reproduce the hatching in another area.

The shrinking of the distance spacing is a bit recursive. If the hatching attributes are reopened and applied again, the spacing keeps shrinking, though I've not taken it to the limit.

Please send us the corresponding file zipped, so that we can understand the problem on the basis of your drawing.
Also tell us which macOs and CADintosh version is used.
We will check / fix the problem when we have your file and the information.

Due to the vacation season this may take two weeks.

Here are the version numbers you requested:
Cadintosh X: 8.8.4
Mac OS: Monterey V12.6.7
Attachment below. Layer 1 is locked against editing.
In the zipped version, the displayed attributes for the blue hatched rectangles in layer 2 have drifted from the settings used to generate them, where the spacing was set to 3 inches. Can't explain why.
