Change the Hatch Background Colour

Hatch properties in AutoCAD 2011 now includes Background Colour providing you with more flexibility and control. Applying a Background Colour enables you to create the effect of layered hatches in a single object. For example, you might create a brick Hatch with a Background Colour to represent the bricks and Hatch Colour to represent the mortar in an elevation drawing.

• The new Background Colour can be found on both the Hatch Creation and Hatch Editor TAB.

• You will also find the Background Colour property in Properties when a Hatch is selected.
