4. Click OK in the Properties table to confirm your operation.

 
You can also customize different hatching types by entering the desired values in the box called Hatching.

Each part is assigned a pattern. Therefore, each time you modify a pattern using the Properties dialog box, all the patterns of the views generated from this part will be modified. These modifications will be applied to all the existing sheets.

No update can be performed. When you select a pattern from the Pattern table, the link between this pattern and the material becomes broken.

 
  For more information about associating materials to a pattern, please refer to Real Time Rendering user's guide.
