Fill Styles

Description

The Outfitting draft Fill Style concept has been implemented in Marine Drafting, making it possible to add any combination of hatch patterns to contours in the drawing. A Fill Style can be system-defined or user-defined and contains the definition of an arbitrary number of hatch patterns.

Compared to the existing Hatch Pattern functionality, the Fill Style concept is associative and can combine any number of Hatch Patterns. Also Solid Fill is available.

The Fill Style can be applied to any contour in the drawing, closed or possible to close. It is also possible to apply the fill style on a general area defined by multiple contours. In both cases, the fill style will be persisted in PADD.

The Fill Style can be selected and applied to contours in two ways:

• MB right-click on a contour to define or modify the fill style applied on that contour.

• Select the Modify/Fill Style function to select a Fill style to apply to given contours.

The dialog for selecting Fill Styles looks like below:
