Use this dialog box to control the addition of hatching for a specific range of entities or for a specific value in a theme.
Select a hatch pattern from those already defined in the current drawing or click to go to the Select Pattern dialog box.
Select a layer for the new hatch, or click to go to the Layer Manager dialog box.
Specify the color of the hatch or click to go to the Select Color dialog box.
Specify the scale for the hatch pattern. Use positive numbers. For example, 2 doubles the size, 0.5 halves it.
Specify the angle to rotate hatch created for the thematic map.
For standard-scale hatch patterns (those that do not have an AR- prefix), the density of the hatching varies according to the hatch scale and plot scale you use, as shown in the following table and figure
| Plot Scale | Hatch Scale | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1:2000 | 1 to 500 | Solid |
| 2000 | Lines clearly visible | |
| 15000 | Sparse, occasional lines | |
| 20000 | No hatch or one line only | |
| 1:10000 | 1 to 2500 | Solid |
| 10000 | Lines clearly visible | |
| 75000 | Sparse, occasional lines | |
| 100000 | No hatch or one line only |
You can use solid fills at any scale to fill an enclosed area.
