REVISION NOTES
1. A large variety of hatch patterns are available when working with AutoCAD 2011.
2. In sectional views in engineering drawings it is usual to show items such as bolts, screws,
other cylindrical objects, webs and ribs as outside views.
3. When Associative hatching is set on, if an object is moved within a hatched area, the
hatching accommodates to fi t around the moved object.
4. Colour gradient hatching is available in AutoCAD 2011.
5. When hatching takes place around text, a space around the text will be free from hatching.
