Hatch contour

Hatch contour

Main menu: Construction – Library objects – MechWizard > Hatch contour.

Ribbon: Construction – MechWizard > Hatch contour.

Toolbar: MechWizard > Hatch contour.

Command line: SPWIZSECTCONTOUR.

Important!
The command prepares the sketch for recognizing the execution type of the base object.

A hatch contour defines the shaded area of an object in the drawing.

Procedure

1. Draw a closed polyline in the sketch that matches the shape and size of the required hatch contour (in the figure, a rectangle around the sketch).

2. Call the command “Hatch contour”.

3. Select the constructed polyline. The outline will be highlighted in red in the sketch.

A prerequisite for the contour is the absence of self-intersections. To avoid self-intersections on a compound contour, create the contour manually, leaving a minimum “isthmus” between the areas.
