Edit Hatch Pattern dialog box

Modifies the hatch pattern for an area. When you create a section view, hatching is automatically applied using the defaults specified by the active drafting standard.

Access:

Ribbon: Place Views tab Create panel Section

Right-click the hatch pattern area in a cut view, and then select Edit.

By Material

If selected, the hatch pattern corresponds to the mapping between materials and hatch patterns defined in the Standard style.

Tip: To change the mapping, open the Style and Standard Editor. Then change the settings on the Material Hatch Pattern Defaults tab of the Standard style pane.

Pattern

Selects the hatch pattern. Click the arrow and choose a hatch pattern from the list.

Select Other to add a hatch pattern to the Pattern list. Then add the hatch pattern using the Select Hatch Pattern dialog box.

Angle

Rotates the hatch pattern by the specified angle. Enter the desired angle.

Line Weight

Sets the thickness of the hatch lines. Click the arrow, and then choose the thickness from the list.

Scale

Sets the distance between lines in the hatch.

A scale of 1 uses the original distance specified in the hatch pattern. A scale of 0.5 results in line spacing that is one half of the original distance.

Shift

Shifts the hatch pattern to offset it slightly from the original hatch pattern position. Enter the distance for the shift.

Color

Changes the color of the hatch lines. Click Color, and then select the color.

Double
