Hatch Display Rules Won't Display in Sheet


 Product:MicroStation
 Version:CONNECT
 Environment:N\A
 Area:Graphics Display
 Subarea:Display Rules

Problem

I have created a hatch display rule for the "cut" display style. It works fine in the model, but will not display when attached to a sheet file. I am using the saved view method and attaching the saved view as a reference file to the sheet.

Solution

Introduced in MicroStation CONNECT Edition (Update 13) onwards, we have introduced a variable:

MS_PATTERNORIENTATION_ROTATEWITHVIEW

This supports the Display Rule, Hatch, in references for non top sections.

If you set this variable to 0 you should be able to see the Hatch in the sheet

eg.

MS_PATTERNORIENTATION_ROTATEWITHVIEW = 0

Pattern orientation mode. 0 indicates pattern orientation of reference is fixed to a view, 1 indicates pattern orientation rotates with reference.
