Excellent. Rotated hatch patterns to distinguish between several parts in an assembly are really usefull.wandererfan wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 3:02 pm I have something in development that adds a Rotation property for Hatches. So far, just for Svg and Bitmap hatches.
The rule I learned decades ago: A pattern orientation of a specific part must not vary from one setion view to another. That means the fixed angle depends only on the page orientation. A different orientation would mark another part.
This way it is easy to find a specific part in a large assembly drawing displaying many section views each cutting through varying combinations of parts. A cut Thingy will allways have the 45° pattern while the Thingamajig has a -45° pattern in every view.
Therefore a Rotation property should rather depend on the page orientation than on a view orientation.
On first sight I thought the second from right section was wrong having two differently orientated Patterns, but then I took a ruler and realised that it is the same pattern and orientation on both sides. Nice optical illusion
