Fill Styles
Fill Styles are used whenever it is required to hatch an area on a drawing. This hatched area may either be part of the annotation (a hatched OUTLine element for example) or may be produced by the auto-hatching capability of the Update Design process.
A pre-defined set of fill styles (including solid-fill) is provided; it is also possible for you to define your own. A fill style is defined by combining 1 or more hatch patterns. A hatch pattern is a sequence of parallel lines all drawn with a particular line style (chained, solidthick, etc.) and at a specified angle and separation. By the careful design of hatch patterns and line styles complicated fill styles (such as those typically used to denote brickwork, concrete, grassland, etc) can be created.
