Hello,
Trying to solid hatch outline lettering. Straight letters such as L T OK. Curved letters such as O S are splined and not OK. AutoCAD seems to have a spline to pline converter. What options with ProgeCAD 2008 Pro?
Thanks very much.

Hello. I see now what is happened. There seems to be two different algorithms for hatching in progeCAD (at least for the parametization).

I am guessing you experience this problem from the command line when using the "hatch" command.

We notice the problem disappears when we use the bhatch command instead (dialogue interface for associative hatching in progeCAD instead of the old style hatch command)

Please try the bhatch command and see if that works for you instead.
