See also: Hatching an Area
You can cross hatch (shade in) an area for clarity. This area can contain 'islands'; that is, areas that will not be cross hatched. The area can be bounded by any combination of lines arcs, curves, construction entities, continuous or group entities.
You can alter the angle and line spacing defaults, if required.
Angle - Specifies the angle of the hatching lines.
Line Spacing - Specifies the gap between the hatching lines.
Note that boundaries can be chained and windowed but you should be careful to avoid ambiguous constructions as these may be misinterpreted.
