IntelliCAD and AutoCAD (the CAD engine used as the basis for embeddedCAD and inCAD) are delivered with a range of Predefined hatch patterns that you can access when you open the Boundary Hatch Dialog:...
Sometimes you see the message: Valid hatch boundary not found. If the boundary should be considered closed, either zoom out so the boundary fully displays or adjust the gap tolerance value. ...when se...
In this article, we will be turning a drawing into a block, then inserting it into a new drawing. Users may wish to do this if they are running into trouble with their drawing and would like to reset ...
It's possible to have the exact same hatch pattern display as expected in one drawing, and look completely different in another drawing. One potential reason for this may be the coordinate values of t...
Here are the steps to follow to create a Block which will be saved as a file. This is done by using the Wblock command (write block). Once this block is saved you will be able to insert it in other dr...

If you need to Move and Rotate and possibly even Scale a portion of a job to match another, in older versions of MSCAD each of these steps had to be done 1 at a time with the appropriate commands. MSC...
We have a routine called Right-of-Way that will take a traverse line and allow you to offset it by any amount on either side of the traverse line. It asks for opening and closing intersecting directio...
