Hatching and scale

Whenever you apply hatching, you can specify whether the spacing between the hatching lines is to remain constant or change dynamically with the reference scale. This means that you can distinguish between hatching used to display real objects, and symbolic hatching, e.g., concrete hatching. Tiles should appear larger or smaller depending on the selected reference scale. Symbolic hatching, on the other hand, should have the same spacing between lines regardless of scale.

You can make this setting in two places

• In the hatching properties when you create an area with hatching: Here, you can specify whether the hatching is to adapt to the scale or remain constant, regardless of the scale.

  

• In hatching defaults: You can set the spacing between hatching lines (for the Adjust to scale in layout setting) and the scale to which the line spacing is to apply. This setting also defines how component hatching behaves.

  

  Note: When you change the defaults, all the areas where this hatching style has been applied also change.
