Here, you can define the hatchings which are to be used for an object.

The Dialog box Assign hatch pattern is used both for drawing objects (e.g. outline and sealing cord of a seal) as well as for materials (e.g. AL).

In the upper section of the dialog box the name of the object is displayed for which you define the hatch assignment. With some objects several constituent parts can be hatched with different patterns. Using tabs you can change between the available constituent parts and separately define the hatch assignment. The number and labeling of the tabs depend on the respective object.

Assigns a material-independent system hatch to the object.

Assigns a material-dependent hatch to the object.

Assigns a specific hatch to the object. When you choose this option, you can individually define the hatch setting.

Here, the hatch properties are displayed without changes being possible. You can only modify the hatch properties when you have selected the Specific option button in the Assign section.

To assign a new hatch pattern to the object, select a new pattern from the list.

Enter a new angle in the input field Angle to alter the hatching angle.

Enter a new scale factor in the input field Scale to alter the hatching scale.

Saves the changes as default for the selected object. Otherwise the changes are only valid for the selected object for the duration of the drawing session. This button is not available for materials, because the settings can be saved in the higher level dialog box.

Click OK to close the dialog box and to save the settings. Click Cancel to discard the changes. In both cases SchüCad next returns to the starting dialog box.
