Reference Guide: Creating Hatch Patterns

TurboCAD, like most CAD software, has a hatching tool that fills polygons with a brush style pattern; either a hatch or bitmap pattern. These patterns are commonly used to denote a specific property or material - glass, wood, etc. This leads to a common question asked by many TurboCAD users: Is it possible to use my own brush style patterns in TurboCAD? The answer is yes - you can use your custom patterns. This guide describes how to create, modify, or add custom hatch patterns for use in TurboCAD v3 to v9.
