The new AutoCAD 2025 release has several new features. This blog will look at the clever new Hatch Improvements.
Hatch Command in AutoCAD 2025
AutoCAD users can now apply textures through patterns, fills and paths more efficiently. Hatching can now be applied without the need for predefined shapes or enclosed boundaries.
Drawing Hatches Without Boundaries.
There are two distinct options:
• Creating a Filled Shape: This allows you to define a shape and fill it with a hatch pattern.
• Applying Hatching along a Specified Path: Use a polyline, circle or rectangle draw
options to create hatches along a specified path.
New System Variables
- HPDRAWMODE - Controls the drawing mode used when defining new boundaries to hatch or fill.
- HPPATHALIGNMENT - Specifies the alignment of new drawn paths to be hatched or filled.
- HPPATHWIDTH - Specifies the width of new drawn paths to be hatched or filled.
By using the HPPATHWIDTH variable, you can adjust the width of a line that describes the hatch path.
