The hatch color defines the line width for the printer. If you do
not define a color for a hatch in the surfacing.htc file,
Tekla Structures uses the color defined on the Appearance tab
in surface treatment properties. The Visible lines color and type
is used for the front of the surface treatment, and the Hidden
lines for the back.
Automatic Scaling

8.13 Part and shape hatch pattern properties (.htc)
The hatch patterns for material types and names are defined in a hatch schema file (in
a .htc file). Different drawing types (general arrangement, assembly, single-part, and cast
unit drawings) have their own schema files. These hatch patterns are used when you set Type
to Automatic on the Fill page in the part or shape properties. The default schema files are
located in the ..\Tekla Structures\<version>\environments\common
\system folder.
The name of the schema file Tekla Structures uses for each drawing type is defined on the
Hatching page of the Advance Options dialog box:
•
set XS_DRAWING_GA_HATCH_SCHEMA=general.htc
•
set XS_DRAWING_ASSEMBLY_HATCH_SCHEMA=assembly.htc
•
set XS_DRAWING_SINGLE_PART_HATCH_SCHEMA=single.htc
•
set XS_DRAWING_CAST_UNIT_HATCH_SCHEMA=cast_unit.htc
The syntax of the schema file is:
Material type, Material name, Hatch name, Scale, Color,
Automatic scaling and rotation
