Hatch like Lines on pipe fittings
Hi Rob, As far as I am aware nothing has changed with the V/G and object styles.
When changing the Display style too, for example "hidden line" it is also there.
I just also noticed that it changes along with the scale....
it might be the material assigned to the fittings?
Can you upload the model for us to look at?

Check your View Filters..... (VG > Filters tab)
- in your views, the hatch is being applied to different Fitting Types and in different view Visual Styles.
- it is also scaling which implies its a Drafting Pattern.
When I was playing in my testing file the only thing that effected all those things was a View Filter that was set to filter Pipe Fittings.

If i bring in a pipe fitting family from one of my models, as soon as the fitting is placed it gets the same fill pattern.
- which tells me is is somthing that is being applied/overwritten by category somewhere in your model
When I set the system color scheme for pipes to None, or change the category the fill legend is using (i.e. from System Type to System Name) the fill pattern is not there.
- which tells me it is related to do the system type being assigned.
When I apply the Out-of-the-Box Mechanical view template it does not correct it either.
- So it appears to be somthing that the View Template doesn't directly control.
I'll play with it more later this morning when I have some time, unless someone else figures it out before then :-).

interesting... when i tried a different VT's the hatching still appeared. that's why i said earlier...

When I made a new view with no template, i did notice the hatching wasn't there. but i was too focused on trying to figure out why it was there LOL. you'll also notice its not there in a 3D view. which kept pointing me to the Color scheme settings since you cant assign a Color scheme/legend to a 3D view.

When changing the highlighter fill width and setting the switch to contour fill hiogher then the diameter this happens.... So it looks like the hatch is responding the same way a color fill does. Seems strange because to my limited knowledge there is no scheme that controls this.
