HatchKit2.7 CAD Hatch Pattern Editor and Generator.

New in Version 2.7 -

• Patterns load to Revit at 1:1 scale.
  
  Revit restricts imported patterns to a scale range based on the maximum and minimum repeating lengths found within the pattern - a repeating length being the sum of the drawn and skipped portions of a single pattern line.
  
  A pattern taken directly from elsewhere will not load at 1:1 scale if the available scale range is either too large or too small.
  
  HatchKit sidesteps all guesswork by rearranging patterns output in the four Revit pattern formats to import at 1:1 scale where possible to provide access to a wider pool of available patterns.
  
  

   

• 64-bit Windows XP support
  
  Run HatchKit on your larger computer.

   

• Runs within Limited User Account (LUA) restrictions
  
  Run with or without administrative rights.

   

• DXF output for ArchiCAD and VectorWorks
  
  HatchKit now creates hatch pattern definitions for CAD packages capable of importing hatch patterns in DXF format.
  
  Draw, arrange and save to DXF. Import, explode if necessary and save the pattern in native format.

   

• Rhinoceros 4.0 support
  
  Output patterns as .TXT files suitable for Rhino's new hatch pattern capabilities.

   

• Bitmap capture
  
  This is a long way from being a complete vectorizer (for example it only copes with lines one pixel wide) but it can extract a pattern from simple MS Paint or similar bitmapped artwork.

   

• Rectangle and Ellipse controls
  
  Exactly what's needed for bricks and tiles, bubbles ... Portions of these shapes can be selected and erased as required.

   

• Additional Infinite Line control
  
  Infinite Line controls now work along both arrangement directions. Fast ceiling grids.

   

• Hatch Origin control
  
  Move the hatch origin to wherever you want it to be.

   

• Selection Step controls
  
  These help arrange closely fitted patterns.

   

• Arrangement and Grid tile patches displayed
  
  Arrangement and grid tile patches show as vectors are adjusted.

   

• Most Display Settings saved between sessions
  
  Keep your HatchKit window position and control settings between sessions. Set up HatchKit to your requirements.

   

• New Install Procedure
  
  Better control and more install options are available with the new install.
