change both to be associative, select the Make Predefined Hatches Associative
checkbox on the AM:Preferences tab of the Options dialog box.
Create Hatch Patterns
For many parts in an assembly, you can apply predefined hatches quickly by
selecting the part and using a Hatch menu command. For this exercise, select
the User-defined hatch command.
1 From the Draw toolbar, click Hatch ➤ User-defined hatch.
2 Select User-defined pattern in the Pattern Type list. Set 45 degrees for
angle and 2.50 mm for Spacing in the Pattern properties list.
3 Click OK.
4 Click a point within the boundary area of the part to add the hatch
pattern.
5 Press ENTER.
6 Click a point within the next boundary area to add the hatch pattern.
