Hatch Boundary Not Visible When Plotting
Updated on: April 27, 2022
Issue
After plotting your design, you noticed that the boundary lines of a hatch are not plotting. You have confirmed the layer is set to plot and there are no viewport overrides.
Cause
Your plot style is not set up properly. You need to adjust your CTB plot style to account for the visibility of that layer color.
Solution
1. Type Plot in the Command line and press Enter to open the Plot Style Manager.
2. In the Plot style table (pen assignments) menu, select the plotting file you're currently using.
Click the Edit button to the right of the menu (as pictured to the right).
3. Locate the color of the boundary that isn't plotting.
In all likelihood, it has its screening set excessively low (or even at 0). Set the screening to 100, which will ensure it will show up when plotting.
You can determine the color of the boundary by selecting it and noting which color it's set to in the Properties panel. You can open the Properties panel by typing Properties in the Command line and pressing Enter.
4. Plot again to test the change. The boundary should now plot.
