About Creating a Filled Area
You can display cross-sectional drawing views as filled areas (displayed in solid color) by changing the crosshatch to fill, but you must first create the cross-sectional view.
To switch between a hatched and filled cross section:
• Open a drawing and select the cross-section area.
• For section views, click on Use a Solid Hatch command on the Edit Hatching tab. The hatched section is replaced with solid.
When creating filled cross-sectional drawing views, keep in mind the following rules:
• You can create filled cross sections only in views without clipping. If you attempt to change the crosshatch of a clipped view (such as a detailed view, broken view), the system issues an error message and does not allow you to proceed.
• If a cross-sectional view that you want to fill has detailed views, the system warns you that this view has dependent children views before allowing you to make the change. The detailed view appears without either crosshatch or filling; you can then set its crosshatch to be independent of its parent.

• When a detailed view, of a section, is selected, Make Dependent and Make Independent commands are available in the Edit Hatching tab.
• Dependent detail views do not support solid hatch. When a solid hatch is applied to views with dependent detail views an error message is displayed.

• You can modify only planar cross sections to be filled.
