Hi guys,

How Can I change the hatch of the default??
I'd like to change ANGLE to SOLID.

Thanks.

What version of Autocad are you using?

Check out this for setting the hatch for 2012?

Thanks for replay, Krushert
I'm using AutoCad 2012.

This link above didn't help me, to be honest.
Because after I've set "SOLID" in HPNAME command, when I opened a new drawing I had to do it again.
Is there other alternative to set the default hatch pattern permanent?

From the AutoCAD help:

HPNAME (System Variable)

Sets the default hatch pattern name.

Type:   String
Saved in:   Not-saved
Initial value:   ANSI31 (imperial) or ANGLE (metric)

If you have an acad*.lsp file just add (setvar 'hpname "solid") to it and you should be good.

That will only really work for the first time you call up the hatch routine, and so long as you only use solid hatches.

As soon as you use a different hatch pattern, that will be your new 'default hatch' - it seems the behavior of Autocad is to start with ANSI31, to start with, and then just "default to last pattern" after that.  Every time I call up the hatch command dialog, it defaults to the pattern I last selected with the hatch dialog.

I've added (setvar 'hpname "solid") into my acad*.lsp file.

Problem solved.
Thank you for the good explanation.
