AUTOCAD 2010 PREVIEW GUIDE
Hatch
When a hatch boundary area is not found, AutoCAD attempts to show you where the problem may have
occurred. Red circles appear around endpoints near where any gap in geometry is estimated to be.

Additional enhancements provide more robust boundary detection and the ability to edit non-
associative hatch objects. You can select on a non-associative hatch and then use intuitive grips to
dynamically change its shape.

Color Selection

In AutoCAD 2010, you can set layer colors and pick from the AutoCAD Color Index with ease. Access the
Select Color dialog box directly from the Layer drop-down list by selecting on the layer color swatch. If the layer
has a viewport color override, the color swatch has a white border. The new color you select applies to the
appropriate viewport color override or global color. Behavior within the Select Color dialog box has also been
improved. As you hover the cursor over a color swatch, the arrow cursor and a black border are displayed in
addition to the traditional white border making it easier to see which swatch you are about to select.
