Create hatch.
Toolbar: Utilities - Create hatch.
Command line: MCHPATTERN.
In nanoCAD Mechanica 23 it is possible to create hatches according to a given pattern - a sketch using the "Create hatch" tool. The hatch pattern created with it is written as an independent * .pat file and can be used in other projects or by other users.
1.Create a border for the hatch sketch. Construct a 300x300mm rectangle and place its bottom-left corner at the origin of coordinate system 0,0,0. The sketch area must be at the origin of the coordinate system. Overall dimensions of the sketch area should not be more than 300x300mm.
2. Sketch one element of the future hatch. The sketch needs to be done within the created rectangle. The sketch should only be done with lines. It is not allowed to sketch with arcs, circles. It is recommended to approximate curved objects in polylines without arc segments. Sketch polylines must be exploded into line segments.
3. Assign a different color to each section of the sketch. The sketch should be done with segments of different colors. The hatch tool recognizes the periodicity in the sketch by the color of the lines.
4. Create an array of sketches within a rectangle. The sketch must follow an explicit periodicity. The sketch must include at least three repeating fragments of the future hatching.
5. Call the command "Create hatch".
6. Create an array of sketches within a rectangle. The sketch must follow an explicit periodicity. The sketch must include at least three repeating fragments of the future hatching.
7. Press the "Enter" key. The process of object recognition and analysis will begin. During recognition, gaps in sketch lines are automatically determined, if in the selected pattern the line break is outside the selection boundary, the line will be defined in the hatch as continuous. If the sketch does not meet the conditions, a message box will appear, otherwise the file save dialog.
8. Correct the errors indicated in the message. Repeat step 5 - step 7.
9. In the file save dialog specify the path to the hatch file.
|
Important! |
You cannot use the names "Acad.pat", "Acadiso.pat" as the name of the sample file. It is recommended to save in C:\ProgramData\Nanosoft\nanoCAD Mechanica 23\SHX |
10. The custom hatch will be created. The hatch created with the "Create hatch" tool fully accepts all the properties of the nanoCAD hatch: associativity, the ability to change the scale, the angle of inclination, overlay with a closed tolerance.
|
Important! |
A drawing file * .dwg that used a unique hatch must be transferred to another user along with the * .pat file of the hatch pattern. For a successful translation, use the (eTransmit) "Generate Set" command. |

The calculator is designed for complex mathematical calculations. The capabilities of the table and text editor are significantly expanded using the powerful functionality of the calculator.
The calculator is available in the table editor, text editor, when using the "Inquiry" utility in the "Value picker" dialog.
The "Calculator" dialog consists of a main menu and a set of grouped commands.
Main menu
· Edit
· Copy Ctrl+C - the command copies data from the input field.
· Paste Ctrl+V - the command pastes the copied data into the input field.
· View
· NoteBook - command opens the notebook panel.
· Degrees - the command switches the mode of calculating angles in degrees.
· Radians - the command switches the mode of calculating angles in radians.
· Expression - the command turns on the formula calculation mode. The input field is divided into two: on the left is the formula, on the right is the result.
Commands
Drop-down list "Precision" - sets the rounding digit of the calculation result.
Switch "Degrees - Radians" - switches the angle calculation mode.
Group of buttons "Mathematical operations".
The main group of calculator buttons. The composition of the buttons is similar to all standard calculators.
Buttons for navigating table cells. Available when editing a table cell. It also shows the name of the currently edited cell.
Button 
to open the "Notebook" sidebar. It is possible to connect the spreadsheet editor of the "Notebook" tool. The additional sidebar lists tables from the notebook in a drop-down list. After selecting a table, its composition will be displayed. Double-clicking on a value from the table adds this value to the input field. This tool is useful when you need to perform routine calculation activities frequently.
The "Insert" button is designed to insert the result of calculations from the calculator into an editable cell, a text entry field or the "Value picker" dialog.
The "Close" button closes the calculator dialog without transferring the value.

Magnet used to draw complex paths based on existing graphics. The contour can be constructed by points or by sequential indication of adjacent segments or arcs.
Called by:
· from the context menu (Weld seam, Simplified weld joint)
· button "Select contour with the magnet" in the dialog (Area array).
An example of constructing a weld seam contour, based on an I-beam image inserted into the drawing
1. We call the command 
"Weld seam". A dialogue will open "Weld seam".
2. Select the type of seam and click "OK".
3. In the context menu, select the command "Magnet".
4. We indicate the starting point of the contour.
5. Sequentially move the cursor over the end points of the linear and arc sections of the I-beam contour.
Deselection of the previous segment is made by re-pointing the cursor to the starting point of this segment or by the "Back" command from the context menu.
6. Use the "Close" command from the context menu to complete the construction of the closed contour.
7. The weld will be built along the specified contour.
