[solved] hatching, re-hatching after changing size of polygon

Post by Krischu » Sat May 06, 2023 10:15 am

In the attached drawing I have resized the black (formerly square) polygon, now to a rectangular shape (-40;-30, -40;30, 40;30, 40;-30, -40;-30).
The solid filled (hatched area remained and did not follow the resizing.

How do I correct this?

How do I remove the former hatch?

EDIT: I got some errors saying to look for a block recursion. I deleted to whole polygon and hatch and redrew it. So actually there isn't a problem anymore.

select the hatch. Use the stretch tool to bring it even with the rectangle

I got some errors saying to look for a block recursion.
Probably a transaction error.
One gets these with Blocks that refer to themselves aka a recursive block definition.
But the warning is also displayed when you want to add or move entities to a locked or frozen or invisible layer or block.
e.g.: Transaction failed. Please check for block recursions and locked or invisible layers or blocks.

When I opened the provided drawing then layer 'Text' was the current layer and that was frozen and hidden.
Adding/moving/importing drawing entities in this state will issue the above warning.
