Autocad Batt Insulation Hatch Pattern3/23/2021
Spiderguy, March 27, 2009 in The CUI, Hatches, Linetypes, Scripts Macros.I have been using a block that I craeted, insert to the scale of the opening (if inserting into a 2 x 4 stud wall the scale is 3.5).Well, I got this hair-brained idea that a hatch pattern would be nicer to use, because once at the top of the wall, at weird angles, etc.
![]() I have decided to pause on this for the rest of the day and the weekend. I though that some of you would like the oportunity to help out with this. ![]() I am a little unclear as to what the space number refers to (the last number in each line). The Magenta is the original pattern, the blue is a copy of the original to get the correct offsets, the yellow and green are the current lines being measured. These are lines not circles, there are a total of 50 lines in the original pattern. I keep getting an error message with some tests I have done, dont know why yet, but I will figure it out. The line type sucks on many levels, the worst is the scaling issue to get it to fit in the area needed, then if you change the scale of the dwg (which we do often here because of using the same drawing multiple times). You should now get another window that shows you the custom patterns available, select smootherbatt.pat. Now if we were talking about a hatch pattern for oak veneer, herringbone flooring, or Arabic mosaic I could understand but its just batt insulation guys. I can understand one or two variations but anything beyond that seems like a waste of time and effort. Most viewers of the drawings the hatch pattern is used on will barely notice what pattern is used and rely more on the description of the insulation required.
