Is there a way to set pattern angle by selecting an element or by 2 points.
M Wlong I could but that defeat the propose of a quick on click. I can use set by 2 points and then type in the angle.
I'm lazy. I'm actually surprised that this is not a feature in the pattern dialog

Time for a CR to be filed. I know, it will still take a loooooooong time to get it implemented.

I was hoping some one may have a marco or vba for this 1
keyin active angle pt2 ( this is to workout Active angle from object by 2 points)
so you could then make your macro to set the active angle from element via the elect element prompt then use the active angle pt2 , then get the angle and put it into PA=AA then commands to select pattern and place pattern sounds easy but you'll have make it your self.. I always use the record to work out most of the commands..
then build it from scratch...

There is a very simple way to do this...
workflow:
- Activate hatch/cross hatch/pattern tool
- identify the object by giving a datapoint
- Now place the pointer on the initiate point and give <Ctrl>Tentative (or O(rigin) with the focus in the AccuDraw dialog)
- Rotate the AccuDraw compass by RQ, RA or RE aligned with the element. The PA will be set from AccuyDraws X-(red)axis.
- Accept hatch/cross hatch/pattern by a DataPoint at the initiate location.
Hope this will be of any help.
For a CR i would like the Accudraw compass automatically placed at the selected point, so you should see under witch Axis the pattern angle is placed.
