‘Adjust to scale in layout’ hatching setting

Hatching and reference scale

When set to Adjust to scale in layout, the spacing between the hatching lines changes dynamically with the scale. Components like walls are based on this setting when a value < 1 is set for Reference scale for adjusting line spacing so that it is true to scale in the hatching defaults.

Hatching is displayed differently in layouts and documents. The display in layouts is of relevance.

Display in layout

The spacing between the hatching lines is at 1:50 twice as large as at 1:100 but the number of lines remains constant. The spacing is based on the value entered for the line spacing in the hatching defaults and on the reference scale.

Example: you are using hatching 1 with the following settings: the line spacing is 3 mm and the ‘Reference scale for adjusting line spacing so that it is true to scale’ is set to 1:100. You create this hatching using the Adjust to scale in layout setting and place it in the layout at a scale of 1:50. The spacing between the hatching lines in the layout is calculated according to the following formula: Line spacing (from defaults): reference scale x scale of layout; i.e. in this example: 3mm : 1/100 x 1/50 = 6mm. At a layout scale of 1:100, the line spacing is 3mm.

Display in document

As the number of hatching lines remains constant, the display in the drawing file does not change even when you change the reference scale.
