About Edit Hatching User Interface for Cross-section
The Edit Hatching is a contextual user interface that appears when you select hatch cross-section of a section view. You can use the options to select and modify a hatching pattern of a section, component, body, or an area. To access Edit Hatching tab. Open or create a drawing with a section view, select a hatching pattern of a cross-section view. The Edit Hatching tab appears.
The following options are available when you select a hatching pattern of a cross-section view:
• Hatch Gallery— Shows the available hatch patterns. The gallery contains the following sections:
◦ Recent— Your most recently used hatch patterns. This section is visible when you place the first hatch pattern.
To clear all recent hatch patterns, right-click a pattern, then select Clear Recent Items.
◦ Pinned— Pinned hatch patterns. This section is visible when you pin a hatch pattern. To pin a hatch pattern, right-click the pattern, then select Pin to gallery. This hatch pattern now appears in the pinned section.
▪ To unpin all hatch patterns, right-click the pattern, then select Clear Pinned Items.

• Editing— Use the commands in this group to define the scale, proportion, angle, and color of the selected hatch lines. The changes made will not affect non-selected hatch lines.
◦ 
— Changes the rotation angle of the selected hatch lines. Click 
to reset the rotation settings of selected patterns, as defined by the hatch pattern definition file. In the rotation box, the difference in values for rotation angles available in the spin box is based on the pre-defined angle interval. You can use hatch_pattern_rotation_interval configuration option to define the value of the angle interval. You can also use the mini tool bar to rotate the patterns.

— Changes the scale value of the selected pattern. This function is not available for XCH patterns. Click to reset the scale value for the selected patterns, as defined by the hatch_pattern_cfg_file.
— Changes the scale value of the selected pattern. This function is not available for XCH patterns. Click to reset the scale value for the selected patterns, as defined by the hatch_pattern_cfg_file.The scale command is dimmed, and no selection is available when:
▪ Multiple patterns with different scale values are selected.
▪ Selected section is a XCH pattern or a mix of XCH and PAT patterns.
◦ 
— Specifies the distance for shifting the hatch pattern in horizontal direction. The change in position of the pattern will be relevant to its initial setting. Click to reset the translation values of the selected patterns, as defined by the hatch pattern definition file.
