AutoCAD 2D
Module 29
Hatching

Learning Outcomes:
When you have completed this Module you will be able to:

1. Explain sectional views, sections, and hatching in sectional views.

2. Describe and apply the BHATCH, HATCHEDIT, and SNAPBASE commands to insert
and edit hatching patterns.

Normal Front and Right
Side View of an Object
Drafting Lesson
Cross Sections - Part 1
When a view of an object
requires a clearer
description of the interior
of the object or it is hard
to dimension because of
the hidden lines, a cross
section view can be
drawn in place of the
normal multiview.
Sometimes an additional 3D Model of the Object
view is drawn. Showing the Cutting Plane Line

A cross section view,

also called a section,
is a view of the object
as if it were cut along
a cutting plane and
the two pieces pulled
apart exposing the
inside of the object. A
cutting plane line is
the line along the 3D Model of the Object
object where the cut Showing it Cut on the
would have been Cutting Plane Line
made. The arrows
point in the direction that you are looking when you
draw the view. The surfaces of the object that are
solid when cut, are crosshatched.

Crosshatching in AutoCAD
In many drafting and design areas there are applications that require you to fill an area with a
pattern. This is called crosshatching or just hatching. Hatching patterns are used to show an
object's material type, the solid material that was cut through in the sectional view, a difference
from one area to another plus many other applications. In this module, you will learn how to
insert and edit hatching patterns.
Hatching Boundaries
The BHATCH command is used to insert hatching. It allows you two different methods of
selecting the boundary of the area to be filled in with the hatch. The first method is to pick an
internal point and allow the BHATCH command to find an enclosed boundary. This method
works well most of the time but for more complicated drawings, the second method must be
used. The second method involves using an existing closed polyline as the hatching area. You
must create the closed polyline first using the PLINE, PEDIT or BOUNDARY commands. Since
a circle or an ellipse is a closed object, they can also be used as a closed polyline.
Hatching Patterns
There are many predefined hatch patterns including industry standard, ISO standard and a
solid fill pattern that are part of AutoCAD's software. You can also find additional patterns on
the internet, in online magazines or you can define your own simple patterns on the fly. In the
AutoCAD Customization Modules, you will learn how to define your own custom hatching
patterns. All hatch patterns are constructed using lines but the hatch pattern is inserted as a
single object in the drawing. This helps you to manipulate the hatch object and also keeps the
drawing database smaller. A hatching pattern can be exploded using the EXPLODE command
back into its individual line objects.

AutoCAD Command: BHATCH

The BHATCH command is used to insert hatch patterns.
Shortcut: BH

2004-2008

2000-2002

A hatch object is constructed using lines but acts as a single AutoCAD

object in the drawing. This helps you to manipulate the hatch object and
also keeps the drawing database smaller. A hatch can be exploded into
individual line objects with the EXPLODE command but associativity will be
lost if it is exploded.

Using the BHATCH Command

Step 1 Start a new drawing using the template Module Template B.
Step 2 Save and name the drawing AutoCAD 2D Workalong 29-1.
Step 3 Enter the
BHATCH command. It
will open the Hatch
dialogue box. The
Hatch dialogue box has
a slightly different look in
2006 to 2008 then it
does in 2000 to 2005.
See Figure Step 3A and
3B. The More or Less
icon shown below and
located in the bottom
right corner of the box in
2006 to 2008 is used to
open or close the
advanced portion of the
dialogue box.

Figure Step 3A - AutoCAD 2006 - 2008

In AutoCAD 2000 to 2005, the Quick and Advanced tabs are used to do the same thing.
See Figure Step 3B.

Associative Vs Nonassociative Hatching

An associative hatch will automatically adjust when the boundary that was used when it was
created is moved or changed. A nonassociative hatch remains the same size and in the same
location regardless of the changes made to the hatch boundary. An associative hatch is the
default in the BHATCH command.
An associative hatch can be changed to a nonassociative hatch by changing the properties of
the object with the Properties window or with the HATCHEDIT command. A nonassociative
hatch can never be changed to a associative hatch. It would have to be deleted and reinserted
as associative.

AutoCAD Command: HATCHEDIT

The HATCHEDIT command is used to edit existing associative hatches.

Shortcut: none

2004-2008

2000-2002

AutoCAD System Variable: SNAPBASE

The SNAPBASE system variable is used to change the origin point for hatching patterns. It also
changes the start point for the grid and snap points.

Shortcut: none

The FILL command controls the fill of a hatching pattern. If toggled off,
hatch patterns will not appear on the drawing. This can help you work faster
as your drawing will
regenerate faster. Do not
forget to turn the FILL on
when finished. You must execute the
REGEN command to display the current
fillmode after you use the FILL command. FILL - ON FILL -OFF

The Inherit Properties icon in the Hatch and the Edit Hatch dialogue boxes
can be very handy. Use it to select the type of
hatching you want to match from an existing hatch
pattern on the drawing. It is a fast way to match one
pattern with another without looking at the properties
of the existing hatch.

The system variable

SNAPBASE sets the origin
point for hatching patterns.
The default is 0,0. On some
hatch patterns it is important that they start at 1
the right location to match the area they are
filling. Study the brick pattern on the house.
To look correct, it should start with a full brick
at the bottom left corner. BEFORE SNAPBASE

Command: BHATCH
Select Object: P1
Command: SNAPBASE
Enter new value for SNAPBASE
<204.2871,-57.6588>: end of P2 3
Command: BHATCH
Select Object: P3 2

AFTER SNAPBASE

The Key Principles in Module 29

1. If you are using the Select object method to hatch, you must create the closed polyline
before executing the BHATCH command using the PLINE, PEDIT or BOUNDARY
commands. Since a circle or an ellipse is a closed object, they can also be used as a
closed polyline.
2. All hatch patterns are constructed using lines but the hatch pattern is created as a single
object in the drawing. This helps to manipulate the hatch patterns and keep the drawing
database smaller. A hatching pattern can be exploded back into its individual line
objects using the EXPLODE command..
3. An associative hatch will automatically adjust when the boundary that was used when it
was created is moved or changed. A nonassociative hatch remains the same size and
in the same location regardless of the changes made to the hatch boundary.
4. The system variable SNAPBASE sets the origin point for hatching patterns.

is. Complete the following steps:
A. Start a new drawing using the Module Template A3.
