Use this tab to specify the properties of a predefined or user-defined hatch pattern.
Click the Pattern Properties tab and choose Predefined or User Defined from the Pattern Type menu. Choose options for the pattern, or copy the pattern from a sample pattern already in your drawing. Then choose whether you want the hatch to be associative or non-associative.
DIALOG BOX OPTIONS
Pattern Type: To use a hatch pattern from the standard or ISO hatch pattern library files, choose Predefined. To define a new hatch pattern, choose User Defined.
Scale: (Predefined hatch patterns only) Specify the scale of a hatch pattern by entering a number. The smaller the number, the more hatching will fit within a boundary; the larger the number, the less hatching will fit within a boundary.
Angle: Enter a number to specify the angle of rotation of the hatch pattern in degrees, relative to the boundary. Positive numbers rotate the pattern clockwise; negative numbers rotate the pattern counter-clockwise.
Spacing: (User defined hatch patterns only) Specify the space between hatch lines by entering a number. The smaller the number, the closer the hatch and the more pattern will fit within a boundary; the larger the number, the farther apart the hatch and the less pattern will fit within a boundary.
ISO Pen Width: (Predefined, ISO hatch patterns only) To specify the hatch line width for ISO hatch patterns, enter a number.
Cross-Hatched: (User-Defined hatch patterns only) To impose another copy of the pattern at a 90-degree angle over the original, select the Cross-Hatched check box.
Hatch Attributes: To associate the hatching to its boundary, under Hatch Attributes, select the Associative check box.
Copy Hatch Pattern: To select a sample hatch pattern, click Copy Hatch Pattern.
