"Hatching Types" Dialog

How can I access information on this dialog?

The following commands are available by right-clicking into the hatching type list:

Edit

Calls the "Edit Hatching Type" dialog, from which all selected hatching types can be initialized with identical settings.

New

Defines a new hatching type. A dialog appears in which the name of the new hatching type is entered. The new hatching type initially uses the same hatching type settings as the right-clicked item.

Add from System Defaults

Calls a dialog with all system default hatching types from which you can choose one or multiple to add to the current drawing.

Rename

Calls a dialog in which the name of the right-clicked hatching type can be edited. The name of the "*Standard" hatching type cannot be changed.

Activate

Activates the right-clicked hatching type without closing the dialog.

Delete

Deletes the selected hatching types. This action has to be confirmed. The "*Standard" hatching type cannot be deleted.

Intermediate Storing

These functions allows you to store several sets of hatching types including all of their settings and access them at a later time, even from within different drawings.

Pinboard and collections are managed globally by the main application. They can contain a mixture of completely different items. The pinboard in local to the respective computer and contains unnamed items that are sorted by their storage time. A collection, however, contains named items and is, like libraries, stored in a single file (extension *.mkcol) that can be accessed by multiple users concurrently via network.
