I am trying to use a Wood Surface Pattern only in a Fill.  However, the Pattern file that i am using only has it with the grain running horizontally.  I need it to be vertical.  How can i change this?

Your pattern must be a Model Pattern Type, so use your TAB KEY to select one of the lines and rotate it with the rotate tool....

That worked perfectly.  Thanks.

 

For those doing research:

Open the Fill Pattern File.  Go down to the particular pattern title.  When at the end of the title line, hit ENTER to create a new line.  Type ";%MODEL" - This will make the pattern fill able to be rotated as erland73 said.  

 Keep in mind that i did this using an AutoCAD fill pattern file.  not sure if it works for other types or not.
