Modify Hatch Properties
Modify the properties of hatch objects directly or copy them from another
hatch object.
The following tools are available for modifying hatch properties:
Hatch visor controls. Display on the visor by selecting a hatch or fill
object.
Hatch Edit dialog box. Access the dialog box with HATCHEDIT.
Properties Inspector.
Hatch shortcut menu. Access the menu by right-clicking a hatch object.
Hatch dynamic menu. Access the menu by hovering over the control
grip on a selected hatch.
Command line. Enter -HATCHEDIT.
When multiple hatches or fills are selected, the Hatch visor is displayed with
the properties common to all the selected hatches or fills enabled.
Copy the properties of one hatch to another using the following methods:
Inherit Properties button in the Hatch Edit dialog box. Copy all
hatch-specific properties.
Match Properties command. Use MATCHPROP to copy general
properties and hatch-specific properties, with the exception of the hatch
origin.

Control How Overlapping Objects Are Displayed (page 147)
Modify Hatch Alignment, Scale, and Rotation
Shift, scale, or rotate hatch patterns to align them with existing objects.
To shift a hatch pattern, relocate the origin point of the hatch object. The
same tools in the user interface as listed in
Modify Hatch Properties (page 513)
include options for specifying a new origin point, specifying a different rotation
angle, and changing the scale of the hatch pattern.
In some cases, it might be easier to move or rotate the user coordinate system
to align with existing objects, and then recreate the hatch.
