AutoCAD Hatch Masking
If you browse CAD Notes tutorial on dynamic block, we have a tendency to use wipeout to automatically ‘trim’ objects. terribly helpful for putting door on a wall or schematic drawings.
However, wipeout includes a draw back. Some folks reporting that wipeout won’t plot properly on some plotters or to pdf format. I tried it, and don’t have any downside with wipeout. however if you’ve got the matter, then what else are you able to use to try to to that trick? we will use solid hatch!
You can try and activate hatch, then choose solid pattern. Then in color choice, you’ll select the colour to white. however where is that the white color?
White color isn’t offered in indexed color. Click the colour list then select choose color.
Now you’ll see that default color is indexed color… and it’s no white. however if you visit true color, you’ll notice the white color. Move the luminance slider to the highest or amendment the worth to a hundred. you’ll get white or 255,255,255.
Now you’ll use it to mask object beneath your object.
Do you understand that you just can even have background color for hatch? This solely on the market for pattern. you’ll mask object below your hatch, and show it additional clearly.
If you are still have the problem with plotting hatch masking with pdf, you can see the explanation of ‘streak’ in here.
