Description

The object stacking order of hatch pattern has been changed from previous versions.

Requirements

PowerCADD 8.0.0 or more recent

Old object stacking order (top to bottom):

• Hatched Pattern (top most object)
• Object Line Weight and Pen Pattern (middle object)
• Fill Pattern (bottom most object)

This old stacking order resulted in hatch patterns that covered up the object's line weight.

New object stacking order (top to bottom):

• Object Line Weight and Pen Pattern (top most object)
• Hatched Pattern (middle object)
• Fill Pattern (bottom most object)

This new stacking order results in the objects outline (perimeter line weight) correctly covering the hatched items and creates a cleaner edge to the hatched object. Note: See known issues for additional information regarding hard clipping of hatch patterns.
