Creating a Hatching Style Library

Note: Hatching Style Libraries are actually Representation Libraries (RPLB) in terms of PDMS Database elements. Note that the HSTYLs that you can reference from a HRUL must be owned by the same LIBY.

Create a new Hatching Style Library

1. Navigate to an existing LIBY or use Create > Library to add a new LIBY.

2. Select Create > Hatching Library, and you will see the Create RPLB form on which you can give the Hatching Style Library a name.

   It is recommended that you give the new RPLB a name that makes it obvious that it is a Hatching Style Library.

3. When you press OK on the Create RPLB form, you will see the Hatching Styles form that allows you to define the HSTYLs to be stored in the library.

   The Hatching Styles form will be considered in two stages:

   • The upper part of the form allows you to create and delete HSTYLs. It contains a list of all HSTYLs in the current RPLB. This part of the form is explained in Creating and Deleting Hatching Styles.

   • The lower part of the form allows you to set attribute values for the current HSTYL; that is, for the HSTYL which is highlighted in the list. This part of the form is explained in Setting Hatching Style Attributes.
