You can use Brush Styles to edit existing hatch patterns and create new ones.
As an example, select Hatch Patterns for Brush Style Mode and set the Brush Style to ANSI35.
This style consists of two Patterns - each pattern is a line that repeats at constant offsets. Highlight each pattern number to see the line highlight in red below, in the Preview area.
...
- At the top of the palette, click New and enter a new name for the hatch pattern.
- The new pattern will be based on whatever pattern was active when the new pattern was created (ANSI35 in this case). Click Delete Pattern so that only one pattern line remains.
- Click Specify Angle and Offset by Vector.
- Draw a line on-screen that has the angle you want in the pattern. You can snap to existing points or draw a free-form line.
- Next, draw a line on-screen that defines the offset between repeating lines.
- To make this a dashes line, click Specify Dashes.
- The first line on-screen defines the length of the line segment of the dashed pattern. Be sure to define this length in the same direction you used to create the original pattern line.
- The next vector defines the length of the dash, resulting in two dash patterns. If you want more dash patterns, always in pairs, continue defining vectors in the same direction.
- Create more patterns and dashes as needed to get the entire pattern.
