Why is it that we can rotate Model Patterns, but not Drafting Patterns?
We have a lot of details that need a Filled Region with a pattern at other than 0 or 90 degrees and we can't always use a Detail Component that has an embedded pattern.
(And, yes, I'm on the beta program. I've Wish Listed this for many years now)

As you pointed out this is a long time wish item that development is aware of. I'm not sure if this will change in a future release, so it would seem that one of the many current work-a-rounds will have to be used for now. I will make sure to forward this to the development team. Thank you for posting.

Does this still work in Revit? I just need to rotate one drafting pattern. Is it still worth installing? Thanks.

I'll answer my own question. I downloaded the Hatchkit 4 add on from the Autodesk Revit App Store. It is the exe file that works for all versions of Revit up to 2023. Needed to rotate one drafting-filled region and it was super easy to do. Just duplicate and rotate 90 degrees in the dialogue box. It would be nice if Autodesk added a bit more functionality to their filled regions but this worked really well.
Cheers Peter.
You can also use pyRevit to create your own custom hatches. Suuuuuper easy.
