Edit a Fill Pattern

Modify simple fill patterns to meet your design and documentation needs.

To edit a custom pattern, you must reload the pattern from the PAT file.

Note: You cannot edit the Solid fill drafting pattern.

To edit a fill pattern

  1. Click Manage tabSettings PanelAdditional Settings drop-down Fill Patterns.
  2. In the Fill Patterns dialog, for Pattern Type, select Drafting or Model, and then select the fill pattern to edit.

    Use Search to quickly locate fill patterns that match a text string. For example, brick matches Brick Masonry, Brickwork, and Masonry - Brick.

  3. Click (Edit fill pattern).

    With a pattern name selected, you can also select Custom and import a new pattern from a PAT file; the imported custom pattern replaces the existing pattern, using the same name.

  4. To edit the pattern, follow the instructions in Create a Simple Fill Pattern.
