    There appears to be 2 options with smart wall hatching - either have the hatch a consistent direction relative to the drawing screen or set to match the wall angle. The problem arises if the smart walls are rotated 'odd' angles which results in the hatching either staying at the same angle relative to the […]

    Using the 3 images posted earlier:1. Hatch the inside of the ellipse using contour search,2. Hatch the outside = the full rectangle,3. In Hatch, pick Boundary, F0 Voids, it then asks to select the master polyline = the full rectangle being the largest hatch area, 4. Then you can F8 Add Void by selecting the […]

    I think it would only be with a custom symbol, or fudge it with 2 overlapping double sash sliders with the middle unit being overlapping portion of each double sash slider.Statistics: Posted by Roger D — Wed Apr 01, 2020 12:21 pm

    You can also open a blank drawing, turn off all the swothludfbk settings, then open the problem file and press the Delete and End keys to pause/stop the loading of the layers. If you're able to get in, do a LayerSet to save out all your layers then load them in a new drawing. Also […]

    A few things you could check:1. Look in your \datacad 21\temporary files but date modified to see the latest swap files ($wp) of the drawing name. Copy it and paste and rename it into your working folder, then rename the $wp to AEC and try and open it,2. Look in your \datacad 21\session backups for […]

    SCarini wrote "As far as I can tell Border/Cont Search does not find the ellipse."Actually, you're right on this.

I wasn't expecting the true ellipse to work, but was surprised the segmented one […]
