Tip for Week 12/22/03

 

Hey where did my hatch border go?
If the Pickstyle system variable is set to 3, and you erase a hatch that has objects associated to that hatch pattern, all the objects will be deleted.  If you set the Pickstyle system variable to 1 before erasing, you will be able to retain your associated objects and delete only the hatch. 
Sometimes it's just knowing what  variables to change in order  to make your problems go away.  Think twice and erase only once.
That's just out of this world isn't it?  What's out of this world you ask.  Why the base point in a drawing when it receives a new value other than the World Coordinate system of course!  Anytime that you move the origin point you are in a user defined coordinate system.
