Define hatches in drawings
You can use hatching on part faces, part sections or drawing shapes, such as circles and polygons, to show different materials. You can also use hatch patterns on surface treatment.
Hatch patterns are by default located in the hatch_types1.pat file in the …\Tekla Structures\<version>\environments\common\system folder.
Hatch patterns are searched from the folders defined for the following advanced options, in the following order: XS_PROJECT, XS_FIRM, XS_SYSTEM, XS_INP.
You can also add hatch patterns to Tekla Structures:
-
To add custom hatch patterns in the hatch_types1.pat file, see Create custom hatch patterns.
-
If you have a hatch pattern file (created in a CAD software, for example), you can add it to Tekla Structures .pat file with a little modification, see Adding custom fill patterns.
