Hatching on DrftSiht

During my activity, I worked on AutoCad ... Currently with DriftSight, for my DIY, I can't do the hatching, even by going through the help 

Thank you for your help.

I occasionally use Draft Sight and I just tried.

All you have to do is:

Click on the hatch icon

Select the hatching visual you want

Click on "Specify Points" in the Outline Settings

click inside the outline (the outline becomes dashed)

Validate by the spacebar

click OK

Be careful, if the outline is not well closed, you will not be able to use "specify points".

You can try with "specify entities", but the ideal is to have a completely closed outline.

Hello to Pascal and Philippe B and thank you for your answers.

I finally solved my problem. In fact, when you open a plan made on AutoCad with DraftSight... no problem in general, we can continue or modify the plan; but when it comes to hatching, it doesn't work.

I was able to get out of it by opening a blank layer on DraftSight, going back to my original plan, and copying and pasting from this plan to bring it back to the blank layer on DraftSight  and there ... bingo! It's perfect.

 

 

Hello

It's like on AutoCAD.
