Hatch in Drawing Causing Alibre to Freeze?

[ericroberts197]

So I've made a grass hatch, and I set the scale to be 0.01 ( appears to be the minimum allowed value). Now, on my computer( Core I7 processor, with Nvidia graphics card) the program locks up. It seems like the processor can't handle the rendering of that fine of a hatch. To confound this though, simultaneously I had an internet connection loss. I can't figure if this or the hatch gooned it or the connection loss.

Your hatch scale is way too small. I'd use something like .5. Your drawing almost brought my rendering computer to a standstill, it took almost a minute to open the drawing.
Here's what I saw on initial opening:


And after editing the scale to .5:


There is no need to show every blade of grass on the field.

Thanks, I agree. I was just playing around with the visuals.

However, I feel the program should intervein on account of user stupidity in this instance?

I'd suggest that for any hatch you create you give it a scale of 1.0, then in the drawing you can adjust scale as needed.
