Changing color of hatch in a section view..
(OP)
Hi Folks,
Can someone please tell me how to change the color of a section views' hatch in a drawing?
This seems like it should be easy to do but apparently I'm dense or it isn't easily accomplished. According to SW06 help I can do this for an area hatch that I create but not for an hatch created as the result of a section view.
There isn't much of anything else there (that I have come across at least) on the subject.
As always any and all feedback is appreciated.
Regards,

To change the fill color, select the fill in the graphics area and click Line Color on the Line Format toolbar. You cannot change the color of an area hatch in a section view.
Other then that I see no mention of changing the color.

That's what I saw as well. I was hoping that extra pairs of eyes might scare up something that I missed in my searching.

I looked there but nothing doing. Do know where I should be looking specifically?

On the dwg, open the Layer toolbar. Create a new layer called Hatch. Make it the color you want. Everytime you make a new hatch, select the Hatch Layer.
Make this layer on your templates also.

No problem. That is a nice little trick actually. I'm going to keep that in mind.
Thanks again!
