About Applying Hatching and Fill to Closed Shapes
Apply hatching and fill to closed shapes in a layout to create tonal color or shading effects. Hatching and fill can convey information such as material type, or can emphasize particular areas in a design. You can define the line spacing and angle of the hatching, as well as set the transparency of the fill. You can customize the color of both the hatching and fill.
To change the default location of the library of hatching patterns, set the pro_crosshatch_dir configuration option.
