I'm trying to use hatching on a drawing with State Plane Coordinates (Carlson 2013-IntelliCAD) but it doesn't look right. I know there's a solution to this but I can't find it. Any help?
TIA,
Doug
Have you tried adjusting your scale?
In the older versions of CAD, you could rest your origin, and sometimes that helped for hatching, but that might mess with your State Plane Coordinates.
Lower left corner of the Bhatch dialog box, Origin, select top item, "Use current origin". (That will not hurt anything if your stuff is on SPC. All of mine is state plane and have had no problems. Yet.)
No option in my dialog box but I found a system variable HPORIGIN that did the trick. Thanks for sending me in the right direction!

HPORIGIN
Type: 2D-point
Saved in: Drawing
Initial value: 0.0000,0.0000
Sets the hatch origin point for new hatch objects relative to the current user coordinate system.
from ACAD user documentation, don't know if it applies here though
When working with large coordinates ie. state plane, the hatch origin needs to be set in your project area to have the ar-* and other special hatch patterns to generate correctly.
