[solved] ... edit the border of a hatch region?

Post by Duncan Lithgow » Tue Oct 20, 2020 7:17 pm

How do I ... edit the border of a hatch region? I have some grips from when I made the hatch region but I can't find a way to add or remove grips.

It's possible to a certain degree (stretching, scaling, moving), but you'd typically keep the hatch boundary on a separate layer and edit that, then recreate the hatch.

If you don't have the hatch boundary anymore, you can change the hatch to a solid (change property "Solid" to true), then explode it (Modify > Explode). This gives you the boundary as lines, arcs, etc.

Okay, that works. Maybe that workflow could be described in the manual. Thanks
