Stroke Lines Issue

[hasansins]

I can't see stroke lines in the hatch object. Does anyone know what might cause this?

Hello hasansins,

The command icon you are showing is not a hatching feature, just an iconic representation of the feature to measure area. The feature you are looking for is released by @Mathew in the following topic.

• Hatch pattern tool

Hello,

Just to offer a quick "official" extrapolation on this. Technically speaking "hatched" areas are not a valid comment "fill" type according to the PDF specification, so it is not actually possible to create an "area" measurement (as a comment specifically) with hatching in place, without creating a non-compliant object, and risking damage or data loss in your files.

The best way to safely emulate that appearance, is a tool Like Mathew has created in the thread Rakunavi provided a link to. That tool specifically, takes a selected comment item, and converts it to a base content item, then applies a hatch like pattern as another set of base content items, filling the same shape. One major issue you may run into if you are specifically using the "area measure" is that, since this is no longer a comment, the measurement data is no longer present in the file after this conversion.

Kind regards,
