Quick Reference

You can choose from more than 50 industry-standard hatch patterns. Additional hatch patterns are available from external pattern libraries.

The program supplies a solid fill and more than 50 industry-standard hatch patterns, which can represent materials such as earth, brick, or clay.

Fourteen hatch patterns conform to International Standards Organization (ISO) standards. When you select an ISO pattern, you can specify a pen width, which determines the lineweight in the pattern.

In addition to using the patterns supplied with the program, you can use patterns from an external pattern library. These patterns are listed by name and are displayed in the Hatch Pattern Palette dialog box.
