Pick an internal point where the hatch has to be applied.
Options within the command
Note:
- After the entity is selected in the corresponding dialog box, the Command line prompts you to enter the insertion parameters.
- During insertion, the Properties panel lists the Inserted Block Properties where you can directly edit parameters of Parametric, Mechanical, and BIM blocks.
- Edit inserted entity
- Allows you to change the parameter expressions for the entity you want to insert.
Continue to edit individual parameters, then press FINISH.
- Enter parameter name
- Specifies the name of the parameter.
- Enter expression
- Specifies the expression of the parameter.
- FINISH
- Finishes the editing of individual parameters.
- Rotate
- Allows you to change the rotation angle for the inserted entity.
- set Base point
- Allows you to change the base point for the inserted entity.Note: By default this is <0,0,0>.
- insertion Type
- Specifies the component type.
- Flip
- Allows you to flip the direction of the inserted entity.
- Multiple
- Allows you to insert multiple copies of the same entity by specifying an insertion point for each instance.
Continue to insert entities, then press Enter to end the command.
- Array
- Allows you to create an associative array of the inserted entity by specifying the base point, distance between columns, distance between rows and end point of the array.
- Direction
- Allows you to select an existing axial entity to define the direction.
- 2Points
- Selects two points to define the direction.
- Zaxis
- Selects the Z axis as direction.
- Object
- Allows you to select an axial entity.
- Last
- Uses the previous axis.
- View
- Allows you to specify a point on the view direction.
- Xaxis
- Selects the X axis as direction.
- Yaxis
- Selects the Y axis as direction.
- Single row
- Distributes entity copies into a single row.
- Rectangular
- Distributes entity copies into any number of rows.
- Columns
- Specifies the number of the columns.
- Rows
- Specifies the number of the rows.
- Placement
- Sets the distance between the entities.
- Accept
- Accepts the resulting array.
- Change target 3d solids
- Allows you to apply the inserted entity to existing 3D solids in the current drawing.
- Select target 3D solids
- Selects the target 3D solids.
- cleaR
- Clears the selection set to ensure no solids are affected by the inserted entity.
- Select all affected 3d solids
- All solids intersecting or touching solids in the BC_SUBTRACT and BC_UNITE layers of the inserted entity are affected.
- Scale
- Allows you to scale the inserted block.
- X scale
- Allows you to introduce the scale factor along the X axis. Enter a negative value to mirror the block about the Y axis.
- Y scale
- Allows you to introduce the scale factor along the Y axis. Enter a negative value to mirror the block about the X axis.
- Z scale
- Allows you to introduce the scale factor along the Z axis.
Note:
- Values larger than 1 make the block larger.
- 1 inserts the block at actual size.
- Values smaller than 1 make the block smaller.
- Values less than zero flip the block, like mirroring it.
- Corner
- Allows you to define the scale by selecting the opposite corner.
- Is this placement acceptable?
- Allows you to select another similar entity for insertion.
- Pick Internal point
- Allows you to pick an internal point or press Enter to select a boundary entity (such as a circle, polyline, or ellipse).
- Specify block First corner
- Allows you to set the first corner of the block in the drawing area, then specify the opposite corner.
- Specify xref First corner
- Allows you to set the first corner of the Xref in the drawing area, then specify the opposite corner.
