specify the hatch pattern. If you leave the box empty, AutoCAD Map 3D
uses a solid fill.
The box displays the selected hatch option. ISO hatch patterns are not
displayed.
Scale
Specify a scale for the pattern. A small scale creates a smaller pattern and
takes longer to display and print.
Rotation
Enter the rotation. Enter 0 for no rotation.
For example, enter 90 to rotate objects 90 degrees in the current direction.
(Use the DDUNITS command to view or change the current direction.)
Layer
Enter a layer for the hatch, or click Layers to select from a list of layers in
the active drawings. If you enter a new layer name, the layer is created.
To easily hide or delete the hatch, insert it on its own layer.
Color
Specify a color for the hatch.
Enter a color name, or click Color Palette and select a color.
For each option, enter a value in the box or enter an expression or variable.
For example, to use a hatch pattern specified in the Hatch field of the Design
object data table, enter :hatch@design. For information on expressions and
variables, see
Expression Evaluator (page 1541).
You can set an option to determine whether the hatch object created by this
command is associative. See the Query tab of the AutoCAD Map Options
dialog box
(page 1908) and To have hatch created by property alteration be
associative
(page 247).
NOTE Use the DRAWORDER command to display objects on top of the hatch.
