Style and Standard Editor - Hatch Style Reference

The Hatch style specifies hatch attributes, for example, pattern or scale.

If you edit a hatch style, all existing hatch objects that use the style change (only your overrides are kept).

Notes:

• The layer on which the hatch object is created defines the hatch line weight and color. You can override these hatch attributes for hatch objects in the drawing.
• Object Defaults set the default Hatch style for Section Hatch and Sketch Hatch objects

The layer on which the hatch object is created defines the hatch line weight and color.

Object Defaults set the default Hatch style for Section Hatch and Sketch Hatch objects.

Pattern

Selects a hatch pattern.

Select Other to add hatch patterns to the Pattern list using the Select Hatch Pattern dialog box.

Angle

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

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.

Double

Creates a copy of the specified hatch pattern perpendicular to the first hatch pattern.
