|
The angle that specifies the direction of the hatch lines relative to the X axis. |
|
|
The number of times to repeat the hatch. Each time that you increase the Line Step Count value, the 180° angle between sets of hatch lines is divided by that value. For more information, refer to the example Line Step Count that follows. |
|
|
This mode specifies the type of border offset for the hatch:
|
|
|
Specifies the distance, for the margin or the overlap, between the edge of the shape and the edge of the hatch contents. |
