Title: Calculate area of hatch pattern
Post by: jbaxter on May 19, 2008, 09:35:10 PM

Greetings,

Anyone know of a lisp routine which will return the area of a selected hatch pattern?

Regards,
JB

Hmmm, that routine does not allow selection of a hatch pattern and not sure what is going on with the 'change color selection' prompt??

I am also trying to avoid the hatch boundary re-reation routine (hatchb.lsp) as it is tedious.

Isn't it just a matter of listing hatch properties of object nowadays?

Edited: Just realised you make no mention of version which may explain!

Hi,

Thanks for your help guys.

Using acad2002.

The routines suggested do not list the hatch area, only other object boundaries in sq.yds.
