Hatch Class

Represents a hatch in planar boundary loop or loops. This is a 2d entity with a plane defining a local coordinate system. The loops, patterns, angles, etc are all in this local coordinate system. The Hatch object manages the plane and loop array Fill definitions are in the HatchPattern or class derived from HatchPattern Hatch has an index to get the pattern definition from the pattern table.

Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyBasePoint
Gets or sets the hatch pattern base point
Public propertyDisposed
Indicates if this object has been disposed or the document it originally belonged to has been disposed.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public propertyHasBrepForm
Returns true if the Brep.TryConvertBrep function will be successful for this object
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public propertyHasUserData
Gets true if this class has any custom information attached to it through UserData.

Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodComponentIndex
If this piece of geometry is a component in something larger, like a BrepEdge in a Brep, then this function returns the component index.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Protected methodConstructConstObject
Assigns a parent object and a sub-object index to this.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodStatic memberCode exampleCreate(Curve, Int32, Double, Double) Obsolete.
Constructs an array of hatches from one curve.
Public methodStatic memberCreate(IEnumerableCurve, Int32, Double, Double) Obsolete.
Constructs an array of hatches from a set of curves.
Public methodStatic memberCode exampleCreate(Curve, Int32, Double, Double, Double)
Constructs an array of hatches from one curve.
Public methodStatic memberCreate(IEnumerableCurve, Int32, Double, Double, Double)
Constructs an array of hatches from a set of curves.
Public methodStatic memberCreate(Plane, Curve, IEnumerableCurve, Int32, Double, Double)
Create a hatch with a given set of outer and inner loops
Public methodCreateDisplayGeometry
Generate geometry that would be used to draw the hatch with a given hatch pattern
Public methodStatic memberCreateFromBrep
Create a hatch from a planar face of a Brep
Public methodDataCRC
Returns a CRC calculated from the information that defines the object. This CRC can be used as a quick way to see if two objects are not identical.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodDeleteAllUserStrings (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodDeleteUserString (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodDispose
Actively reclaims unmanaged resources that this instance uses.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Protected methodDispose(Boolean)
Overridden in order to destroy local display cache information
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodDuplicate
Constructs a deep (full) copy of this object.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodDuplicateShallow
Constructs a light copy of this object. By "light", it is meant that the same underlying data is used until something is done to attempt to change it. For example, you could have a shallow copy of a very heavy mesh object and the same underlying data will be used when doing things like inspecting the number of faces on the mesh. If you modify the location of one of the mesh vertices, the shallow copy will create a full duplicate of the underlying mesh data and the shallow copy will become a deep copy.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodEnsurePrivateCopy
If you want to keep a copy of this class around by holding onto it in a variable after a command completes, call EnsurePrivateCopy to make sure that this class is not tied to the document. You can call this function as many times as you want.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodEquals
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodCode exampleExplode
Decomposes the hatch pattern into an array of geometry.
Protected methodFinalize
Passively reclaims unmanaged resources when the class user did not explicitly call Dispose().
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodGet3dCurves
Gets 3d curves that define the boundaries of the hatch
Public methodCode exampleGetBoundingBox(Boolean)
Bounding box solver. Gets the world axis aligned bounding box for the geometry.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodCode exampleGetBoundingBox(Plane)
Aligned Bounding box solver. Gets the plane aligned bounding box.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodGetBoundingBox(Transform)
Aligned Bounding box solver. Gets the world axis aligned bounding box for the transformed geometry.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodGetBoundingBox(Plane, Box)
Aligned Bounding box solver. Gets the plane aligned bounding box.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodGetGradientFill
Get gradient fill information for this hatch. If the "GradientType" for the fill is None, then this hatch doesn't have any gradient fill.
Public methodGetHashCode
Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetObjectData
Populates a System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo with the data needed to serialize the target object.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodGetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetUserString
Gets user string from this geometry.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodGetUserStrings
Gets a copy of all (user key string, user value string) pairs attached to this geometry.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodIsValidWithLog
Determines if an object is valid. Also provides a report on errors if this object happens not to be valid.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodMakeDeformable
If possible, converts the object into a form that can be accurately modified with "squishy" transformations like projections, shears, an non-uniform scaling.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Protected methodMemberwiseClone
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodMemoryEstimate
Computes an estimate of the number of bytes that this object is using in memory.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Protected methodNonConstOperation
Destroy cache handle
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Protected methodOnSwitchToNonConst
Is called when a non-constant operation occurs.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodRotate
Rotates the object about the specified axis. A positive rotation angle results in a counter-clockwise rotation about the axis (right hand rule).
