I have come to realize that filled region patterns remain one scale only and in the direction it was created. The elders of our firm HATE the plywood pattern for instance. It has too many horizontal lines in thicker plywood and would like it to scale to the size of the plywood. Our CAD pattern was 2 lines running in direction of the board with 3 diagonal slashes every 3". The other problem is that it looks OK running horizontally, but when you have a wall section where you draw it vertically, the hatch doesnt run in direction of the board. That may be ok for sand or concrete but not this. Does this mean we have to create detail components that would be used horiz vs vertical? That would be counter-productive. As a bonus - it would be nice if it could be scaled as well. Any ideas?? thanks.

Change your plywood pattern to something like this: *PLYWOOD,PLYWOOD ;%TYPE=MODEL 0, 0,0,0,.1, 1 45, 0,0, .0707106781,-.0707106781, .1414213562,-.1414213562 315, 0,0, .0707106781,.0707106781, .1414213562,-.1414213562 The ";%TYPE=MODEL" line makes this a model hatch which you can now rotate to any angle. Read your help on the differences between the two. You can add this line to any hatch and make it a 3d hatch.
