Edit Hatch

To modify hatches or fills, use the command "Edit Hatch".

Icon	Ribbon

Keyboard	Textual Menu
<EH>	Edit > Draw > Hatch

The command can be used fro editing hatches.

Upon calling the command, the following automenu options are available:

	<*>	Select All Elements
	<R>	Select element from list
	<Esc>	Exit command

You can select a single hatch using or multiple hatches. <Shift> + adds an element to selection, <Ctrl>+ deletes an element from selection.

Upon selecting multiple hatches, following automenu options become available:

	<P>	Set Selected elements parameters
	<Alt>+<P>	Copy Properties from Existing Element
	<Q>	Show/Hide Contour Point Numbers
	<Del>	Delete Selected Element(s)
	<Esc>	Cancel selection

See the Multiple 2D Elements Editing section.

Upon selecting a single hatch, following options are available

	<Ctrl>+<Enter>, <End>	Finish input
	<P>	Set Selected elements parameters
	<Alt>+<P>	Copy Properties from Existing Element
	<O>	Create name for selected element
	<I>	Select Other Element
	<Del>	Delete Selected Element(s)
	<K>	Redefine Hatch Contours

This option launches the mode, where you can re-define contours of the current hatch. Contours are defined from the scratch in the same way, as when creating a new hatch. When doing this, the automenu contains the same options as in the Hatch command. If you simply delete the old hatch and create a new one using the Hatch command, then you will have to re-define elements, which were based on the deleted hatch. Instead, if you re-define the hatch contours using the editing command, the hatch keeps its ID and links with child elements.

If this option is active, you can add more contours to the current hatch. Contours are defined in the same way, as when creating a new hatch. When doing this, the automenu contains the same options as in the Hatch command.
