Hatches
In Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher, the results that are returned by a graphic report include hatch patterns within a boundary, and a legend that identifies the results. Hatches and their associated legends visually group the real-time values of the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities business object fields that are linked to attached drawing boundaries. The configured hatch patterns and graphic reports are available to all Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher users.
Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher provides default hatch patterns that you can access in the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities environment. In a custom hatch pattern, you can specify the pattern, scale, and rotation information. When no custom hatch patterns exist, or no hatch pattern fields are found on the graphic report results, the CAD report uses a default hatch pattern. The default hatch pattern is defined in the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher report preferences. In Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher, hatch patterns appear after you apply a graphic report that includes a graphic report field that is set as a Hatch display type.
To use the hatch feature in Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher, you need to configure the CAD hatch patterns. And, an administrator must configure the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities graphic reports and business object records to use the CAD hatch patterns. All of the configurations are made in the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities environment.
Configure hatch patterns
Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher users and Maximo Real Estate and Facilities administrators can create, edit, and delete hatch pattern records in the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities environment. You configure hatch patterns with the CAD Hatch Pattern report that is listed under the CAD Integrator menu in the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities administration tools.
Configure hatch patterns to appear in CAD reports
A Maximo Real Estate and Facilities administrator configures how and where hatch patterns appear when graphic reports are applied in Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher. For hatch patterns to appear in graphic reports, an administrator must configure Maximo Real Estate and Facilities business object types with a locator field. The locator field points to the hatch pattern to use. An administrator must also set up the hatch configuration in Maximo Real Estate and Facilities graphic reports. Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher uses the same graphic reports that Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Graphics sections use.
The configuration of hatch patterns in a Maximo Real Estate and Facilities graphic report is similar to the configuration of the Color Field legend column. To configure a graphic report to use a hatch pattern, add a Hatch field to the display columns in the Legend column of the Columns tab. Also, to upload images to display in the graphic report, you configure the Hatch Pattern field and the Image and Dimension field. Web Graphics hatch patterns support the PNG and GIF file formats.
Hatch pattern configuration example
For a classification graphic report, you can add a Hatch display column. The Hatch field points to a locator field where the hatch pattern is defined for the business object. You can set the Vacant classification record to a red color, and the hatch pattern to ANSI31. In Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher, the graphic report shows a vacant space as red with an ANSI31 hatch pattern.
