Description

Draft objects with a DataMake Face property can display a hatch pattern instead of a solid face color.

An ellipse and a polygon with a hatch pattern

Usage

  1. Make sure the objects are closed and planar, and do not self-intersect.
  2. To close a Draft Wire, a Draft BSpline, a Draft CubicBezCurve or a Draft BezCurve set its DataClosed property to true.
  3. To close a Draft Circle or a Draft Ellipse set its DataFirst Angle and DataLast Angle properties to the same value.
  4. Select the objects.
  5. Switch to the View tab of the Property editor.
  6. The ViewDisplay Mode must be set to Flat Lines.
  7. Select a ViewPattern.
  8. Optionally change the ViewPattern Size. Note that a higher value results in a denser pattern.
  9. The hatch pattern is not displayed when the objects are selected. Deselect them to check the result.
  10. Optionally reselect the objects to change the pattern properties.
