5. A crosshatch is created by default. Click Fill to fill a solid color in the 2D sketch.

7. Click Done to apply the changes and close the MOD XHATCH menu.
| By default, all crosshatches use the Letter color, that is, the system default color. Use the Line Style command in the MOD XHATCH menu to change the color of the crosshatches. Use the Color command in the MOD XHATCH menu to change the color of the filled section. |
