Drip Hatch Disappears
Updated on: May 27, 2022
Issue
One of your drip hatches is disappearing. The issue may be occurring when you:
- Place a valve callouts, or
- Run our Verify Laterals tool
You may be experiencing this problem with:
Cause
The image to the right shows a drip emitter hatch that is missing a boundary.
Solution
You can resolve this issue quickly by creating a boundary for the hatch.
If your hatch has disappeared, you can get it back using the Undo command (press the CTRL + Z keys).
Select the problematic drip hatch, then right-click.
Select Generate Boundary from the menu that opens.
A boundary will be generated for the hatch.
You should now be able to complete the action you were attempting, such as placing a valve callout, without causing your drip hatch to disappear.
Does the hatch keep disappearing when you run Verify Laterals?
If you run our Verify Laterals tool after re-creating a drip hatch boundary, it may cause the hatch to disappear again.
If this is the case, here's what to do:
1. Generate the hatch boundary again.
2. Delete the old hatch.
3. Place a new drip hatch within the boundary.
The hatch should now remain in your drawing without disappearing.
