7.1) Introduction

Copyright ©2009 by K. PlantenbergRestricted use only

Introduction Cutting planes lines are created

manually using the Phantom line type. → They are very thick and placed on their own

layer. Section lines (or Hatches) are created

automatically once a cut region has been selected.

Cutting Plane Lines Creating a cutting plane line.

→ A line is drawn indicating where the part is to be cut.

7.3) Hatches

Copyright ©2009 by K. PlantenbergRestricted use only

Hatches Section lines are

created using HATCHES. → AutoCAD has

many predefined hatches.

Hatches The most commonly used hatches are:

→ ANSI31 = Cast Iron or general use→ ANSI32 = Steel→ ANSI33 = Brass, Bronze, Copper

Hatches The angle and scale at which the hatches

are drawn may be controlled within the Hatch and Gradient window.

0o represents the default angle of the hatch. Usually 45o.
