Please email me at Troy.DeGrootBluebeamAndBurgers.com for FREE AutoCAD hatch patterns.

Here is a video I posted a while back that will walk you through loading the.pat file.

As far as the line at 15 degrees goes, I dont know of a way to change the locked increments.

You can freehand them, or hold your shift key to lock on the 45 degrees.

I forwarded your email address and asked to make sure you get them.

However, if you use the Area Measurement tool, there is a Polygon Cutout tool in the Area Pulldown in the Measurement Panel.

You can apply a hatch pattern to the Area Measurement in the Properties, if you are only looking for a hatch with no measurement, simply turn off the label in the properties.

Answered Assumed Answered How do I create Batt Insulation in a Part and Drawings Question asked by Chris South on Mar 2, 2012 Latest reply on Mar 5, 2012 by Scott McFadden Like Show 1 Like 1 Comment 6 I am trying to create insulation in an assembly.

I want to have that type of representation in my solidworks drawings.

Can I assign it to a part the size of my insulation Chris South Mar 5, 2012 3:11 PM Correct Answer Thank you all who helped.

Insulation Hatch Pattern How To Get This

Scott, your post lead me to searching around the internet for patterns and more forums as to how to get this batt insulation into Solidworks.

For anyone who is wanting to add batt insulation pattern to solidworks, here are the steps I have done: Go to Solidworks directory (may differ): C:ProgramFilesSolidworkslangenglish 1.

Save a copy of the origional Sldwks.ptn for saftey -make sure to change file extension so Solidworks doesnt read both files 2.

In the Sldwks.ptn file there are instructions on how to edit this code if desired.

Also the name of the hatch pattern ISOLANTE can be changed See the reply in context No one else had this question Mark as assumed answered Outcomes Visibility: Drawings and Detailing 5240 Views Last modified on Mar 2, 2012 6:02 PM Categories: Drawings and Detailing SolidWorks This content has been marked as final.

If you are representing the insulation in building construction, I think this effort would grow rapidly.

If you only require a notional representation in your drawing, but you want the BOM to show a proper handling of it I would suggest creating a virtual part in your assembly with no features.

Edit this virtual part and set the custom properties to represent the insulation.

Create an additional custom property called something along the lines of Quantity Required and put in the amount needed.

At the top of the custom properties window set the BOM Quantity drop down to your Quantity Required custom property.

The Assembly BOM will then use this value in the quantity column.

In the drawing, use some sort of sketch entities to represent your insulation such as Troy suggests.

You can attach a ballon to this sketch entity and it will show a.

Click on the balloon again to edit it and in the property manager you will see a list of non-visible parts to choose from and your insulation should be in this list.

Select it and your balloon will now show the line number in the BOM corresponding to the insulation.

A final approach is to just create the sketch entities in your drawing with a note as outline by Troy.
