HPINHERIT
Controls whether to inherit the hatch origin when using the Inherit Properties
option in HATCH and HATCHEDIT.
HPSCALE
Sets the hatch pattern scale factor.
HPSPACE
Sets the hatch pattern line spacing for user-defined patterns.
Set Property Overrides for Hatches and Fills
Control the default color, layer, and transparency of hatch objects separately
from other objects.
Hatch objects have an additional capability that is not available with other
types of objects. You can specify which layer, color, and transparency settings
will be automatically applied to each new hatch object, regardless of the current
property settings. This can save you time.
For example, you can specify that all new hatch objects are automatically
created on a specified layer regardless of the current layer setting.
NOTE If you do not want to override the current property settings, select Use
Current for the hatch’s layer, color, and transparency settings.
