System Variables
FILLMODE
Specifies whether hatches and fills, 2D solids, and wide polylines are filled
in.
HPANG
Sets the angle for new hatch patterns.
HPBOUND
Controls the object type created by HATCH and BOUNDARY.
HPDOUBLE
Specifies hatch pattern doubling for user-defined patterns.
HPNAME
Sets the default hatch pattern name.
HPSCALE
Sets the hatch pattern scale factor.
HPSPACE
Sets the hatch pattern line spacing for user-defined patterns.
Hatch Patterns with Multiple Lines
Complex hatch patterns can have an origin that passes through offsets from
the origin and can have multiple members in the line family.
Not all hatch patterns use origin points of 0,0. Complex hatch patterns can
have an origin that passes through offsets from the origin and can have
multiple members in the line family. In composing more complex patterns,
you need to carefully specify the starting point, offsets, and dash pattern of
each line family to form the hatch pattern correctly.
The hatch pattern AR-B816 shown in the Hatch and Gradient dialog box looks
like this:
