Overview of Hatch Patterns and Fills
A hatch object displays a standard pattern of lines and dots used to highlight
an area, or to identify a material, such as steel or concrete. It can also display
a solid fill or a gradient fill.
Create hatches and fills with the HATCH command. The following illustration
includes a solid fill, a gradient fill, and a hatch pattern. The hatch pattern has
a hatch background color assigned to it.
Hatches and fills do not have to be bounded. In the following illustration, the
concrete hatches are bounded, while the earth hatches are unbounded.
By default, bounded hatches are associative, which means that the hatch object
is associated with the hatch boundary objects, and changes to the boundary
objects are automatically applied to the hatch.
