Create

This mode is used to create a hatch from scratch. you must specify an ID and the appropriate information, dependent on the Creation Method chosen:

Three methods of creating a basic hatch are available:

• Associated Bay - you must select the associated bay. The longitudinal position, hatch length & breadth are generated from the bay particulars. All other information should be entered.

• General - all hatch dimensions and positions must be entered. No associated bay is required.

• Patch - An existing patch may be used as the basis of a hatch. (See below for a description of the Patch button). If a patch PAT is selected, then a hatch HAT_PAT is created and the dimensions of the hatch are taken from the dimensions of the patch. The position of the hatch must be updated by you.
