This applies to both continuous and dashed lines.
If you also specify an angle in the Boundary Hatch and Gradient dialog box when you place the hatch, progeCAD adds the two angles. Angle: Defines the angle of the lines in the hatch pattern.
This following explains the meaning of the terms in the definition: You can add spaces in the definition lines for readability.You can include a maximum of six dash specifications (which include spaces and dots).Each definition line can be no more than 80 characters.You can have more than one definition line, creating sets of hatch definitions that combine to create the hatch pattern.Add the dash specifications only for noncontinuous lines.The description is optional if you include one, precede it with a comma.*pattern-name angle, x-origin,y-origin, delta-x,delta-y Hatch-pattern definitions have a few rules: The syntax for hatch patterns is as follows: Double-click the Support File Search Path item to display the location of the support files. Note: To find the location of icad.pat, right-click the drawing area and choose Options then click the Files tab. You must press Enter after the end of the last line of the hatch definition.pat file the filename and pattern name must be the same If you aren’t adding patterns to icad.pat, you can put only one hatch pattern in a custom.pat file, here are some points to remember: To create a hatch pattern in progeCAD you would do exactly as you would have done in AutoCAD… The hatch patterns are stored in icad.pat but you can create your own pattern files… Creating hatch patterns has always been somewhat of a struggle.
