These hatches represent the real material to be used. So getting the hatch patterns just as accurate as the drawings themselves is important.Now, although AutoCAD offers plenty of hatch patterns on its own, sometimes we may want to personalize our drawings and implement our own hatch patterns.

You also see several gradient-fill options, where one color gradually changes to another.Like any other object, a solid hatch takes on the current layer’s color if you leave (as you should) the color set to ByLayer, or it takes on the current object color override if someone else who doesn’t know what they’re doing has altered the drawing. Therefore, check whether the current object layer and color are set appropriately before you use the Solid hatches option. Here’s looking through you, kidThe transparency object property in AutoCAD is probably most useful (in 2D, anyway) when applied to solid fills.

You can use transparent solid fills to demarcate (distinguish) areas on architectural floor plans or aerial photographs of project sites. In addition to ByLater and Solid settings, make sure that the current object or layer transparency is set correctly, too.
