Open a new drawing and draw a recatngle thats longer than it is tall (x=12, y=5). &nbsp;Apply a hatch to the rectangle using the gradient hatch. &nbsp;Observe the default gradient then select the "GR_CYLIN" or "GR_INVCYL" swatch from the pattern panel of the hatch ribbon. &nbsp;Observe the vertical nature of the hatch. &nbsp;Now click in the angle slider or angle entry field of the properties panel in the hatch ribbon. &nbsp;Change the angle to 90 and you should see a horizontal of the gradient hatch.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>For the drawing you are working in you need to look over all of your hatch ribbon settings and verify that scale, tint, and other settings are not obstructing the horizontal result that indeed will work. &nbsp;Obviously you need to verify that gradient colors 1 &amp; 2 are different.</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 26 Oct 2015 16:07:06 GMT beyoungjr 2015-10-26T16:07:06Z
