Creating Hatching Rule Sets

When a Hatching Library is created, a Hatching Rule Set (HRST) is automatically created below it.

1. To create additional HRSTs below the current RPLB, select Create > Hatching Ruleset.

   The Create HRST form will be displayed.

2. Give the HRST a name.

3. When you press OK on the Create HRST form, you will see the Hatching Rule Set form to allow you to define individual HRULs and to set up a reference from each of these to an existing HSTYL. (Remember that each HRUL can only reference an HSTYL in the same LIBY).

   The Hatching Rule Set form will be considered in two stages:

   • The upper part of the form is concerned with the creation and deletion of HRULs within a HRST. It also allows you to restrict the application of a HRUL to a specified class of elements. This part of the form is explained in Creating and Deleting Hatching Rules.

   • The lower part of the form displays a list of all currently defined HSTYLs and allows you to select any one of these to be referenced by the current HRUL. This part of the form is explained in Associating Hatching Rules with Styles.
