Fixed Scale and Color Support for PAT Hatch Patterns
Creo Parametric 9.0.7.0
Description
You can now define PAT hatch patterns with a fixed scale that is not dependent on the model outline. You can also predefine the color of PAT hatch patterns.
When you apply hatching in drawings and models, the scale is automatically calculated based on the outline of the hatched area. In some use cases, you may want to have a fixed scale of hatching, regardless of the size of the hatched outline.
To enable the fixed scale, you must first set the new configuration option hatch_pattern_scale_in_drw to fixed.
In addition, you must add the following line to the corresponding hatching patterns in the hatch_pattern_scale.cfg file: PTC_HATCH_FIXED_SCALE <value>.
The location of the hatch_pattern_scale.cfg file may be defined by using the hatch_pattern_cfg_file configuration option.
You can now also specify the color to be used for the hatching lines as part of the hatch pattern definition.
Define the RGB color values for the hatching lines of a specific hatch pattern in one of the following ways:
• Using the Hatch Designer tool, which now contains a color widget that you can use during the hatch pattern definition.
• By adding the following line to the corresponding hatching patterns in the hatch_pattern_scale.cfg file: PTC_HATCH_COLOR_RGB <R_value> <G_value> <B_value>.
