Hello

I'm using WF 2.0

Imagine a rectangle with another rectangle extruded & centered in the
middle!

When I show this in a drawing I want to cross hatch the middle
rectangle then
have a note saying what colour the hatched region is, Pantone Reflex
blue for instance!

I've created a section through the part which gave the desired effect
on the drawing, but this is not possible in all cases. I would of
thought you could, Insert / Hatch / Pick border / Apply hatch.

Hope this makes sense!

Geoff

The way I read it you don't want to make cross-sections. Sounds like you
need to create a cosmetic. 'feature' 'create' 'cosmetic' 'sketch' Select
'regular sec' and 'Xhatch'. Pick the surface you want to xhatch, then pick
the edges to create the borders. While in sketch mode you'll only see the
border. When you're done it will hatch it.

Hi Dave

One more thing, how do you modify the hatch?,
I cant seem to get to the Xhatch menu to change the spacing / Angle etc

Thanks

I don't think you can change the hatching of a cosmetic in part mode yet.
But you can change it in drawing mode. Left mouse click on the border of the
hatched area to highlight it. Then hold the right mouse button and select
properties. Or use 'edit' 'properties' from the top menu. Either way will
bring up the menu for the hatching. Unfortunately it doesn't change it in
the part to match.

Well, Dave, I was shocked to find that you could change hatch spacing,
angle, etc. in part mode. You just have to go into 'View>View
Manager>Xsec', pick the cross section in question, do 'Edit>Redefine' and
you get the Menu Manager crap for Spacing, Angle, etc

This sometimes selects better with the selection filter set to X-Section.
