Customized Solid Hatch Pattern

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am aware of we can create our own line type hatch pattern by creating our own .pat files. But didn't find a way to define something like this (solid hatch pattern):

Any thoughts?

Thanks. Max

If it's truly critical to get a colored square pattern like you showed then you should consider creating a surface and apply a material to the surface using your swatch as the custom material pattern.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

a hatch-pattern can not contain solid areas, but you can make a lot of parallel lines that look like a filled area (be careful in terms of performance, that can slow down a drawing).

To the number of colors: a hatch can have two colors, one line color and a different background color. So as you have shown in your screenshot with 3 different colors the answer is sorry no, is not possible.

Hi,

That's what I thought about. Thank you, Alfred!

That's cool - almost exactly what I wanted but in a way different from what I imagined.

Thank you very much!

Something sad is I'm now using the LT version which does has Express Tools. But still very good to know this.

Also an interesting approach, though more indirect.

Thank you very much!
