You can add a hatch/color fill to a sketch that forms a closed loop.
When you edit attributes of a hatch fill, all edits are kept as object overrides.
- On the ribbon, click Place Views tab
Sketch panel Create Sketch to create a drawing sketch or double-click an existing sketch in the browser to make it active. - Use the sketch commands to create a sketch that forms a closed loop.
- On the ribbon, click Sketch tab Create Panel Fill/Hatch Region.
- In the graphics window, select the sketch loop you want to fill or hatch.
- In the Hatch/Color Fill dialog box, specify options.
To add hatching, switch Hatch on. (The hatch style assigned to the Sketch Hatch object in Objects Defaults is applied on the hatch fill.) - To add a copy of the specified hatch pattern perpendicular to the first hatch pattern, select Double.
- To add a color fill, switch Color Fill on. Then select a color in the Color dialog box and click OK.
- To use a hatch pattern that is not available in the Pattern list, select Other in Pattern. Then set the hatch pattern as Offered or load the hatch pattern from a PAT file using the Select Hatch Pattern dialog box.
- To rotate the hatch pattern, specify an angle in Angle.
- To change the color, click Color (
), and specify the fill color in the Color dialog box. - To switch between hatch and color fill, switch Hatch or Color Fill on.
- To delete the hatch or color fill, switch off both Hatch and Color Fill.
- To specify a distance between lines in the hatch, enter a value in Scale to scale the distance larger or smaller. (A scale of 1 uses the original distance specified in the hatch pattern.)
- To offset the hatch pattern slightly from the original position, enter a distance in Shift.
