This development has three components:
-
An additional 12 system-defined Fill Styles (or patterns) bringing the total to 30. These cover patterns such as brickwork and concrete and are shown in Fig 8-6 of the updated DRAFT User Guide.
-
Creation of user-defined Fill-Styles has been enhanced to allow the use of non-solid line-styles. Two new attributes have been added to HPATTErns (see below). These provide values for new Wigwam parameters. As a result, users can create very complicated patterns.
-
The existing GUI, allowing users to pick the system-defined Fill Styles, has been extended to include the 12 new ones. This meant the provision of 12 new icon files.
In addition, hatch and fill patterns are now exported to DXF as the appropriate entities rather than lines.
