User-defined patterns are based on the current linetype in your drawing. A
custom pattern is a pattern that is defined in any custom PAT files that you
have added to the search path.
Hatch Color or Gradient Color 1 Specifies the color for solid fills, hatch
patterns, or as the first of two gradient colors.
Background Color or Gradient Color 2 Specifies the color for hatch pattern
backgrounds or as a second gradient color. When Hatch Type is set to Solid,
Gradient Color 2 is not available.
Transparency Sets the level of transparency for new hatch objects, overriding
the default object transparency.
Angle Specifies an angle for Gradient and Pattern hatch objects relative to
the X axis of the current UCS. Set a hatch angle between 0 to 359 degrees using
the slider.
Scale Expands or contracts a predefined or custom hatch pattern.
Spacing When Hatch Type is set to User Defined, this option specifies the
spacing of lines in a user-defined pattern.
Tint Slider When Hatch Type is set to Gradient, this option specifies the tint
(the selected color mixed with white) of a color to be used for a gradient fill
of one color.
Layer Name Specifies the layer to which hatch objects are added.
Relative to Paper Space Scales the hatch pattern relative to paper space units.
Using this option, you can easily display hatch patterns at a scale that is
appropriate for your layout. This option is available only from a layout.
Double For user-defined patterns, draws a second set of lines at 90 degrees to
the original lines, creating a crosshatch. This option is available only when
Hatch Type is set to User Defined.
ISO Pen Width Scales an ISO predefined pattern based on the selected pen
width. This option is available only when an ISO pattern has been specified.
Origin
Controls the starting location of hatch pattern generation. Some hatches,
such as brick patterns, are meant to be aligned with a point on the hatch
boundary. By default, all hatch origins correspond to the current UCS origin.
Set Origin Specifies the new hatch origin point directly.
Bottom Left Sets the hatch origin at the bottom-left corner of the rectangular
extents of the hatch boundary.
