Hatch Pattern Position

Menu: Edit / Hatch Pattern Position

Lets you shift the position of a hatch pattern within its boundary. First set a point on a location inside a hatch pattern, then a second point indicating where that point should be shifted to.

NOTE: The ability to snap to a point inside a hatch pat- tern is enabled or disabled in the Preferences com- mand, under Snap Settings*: Enable snap commands to snap to the lines in a hatch pattern.

Once a hatch pattern position has been shifted with this command, the Info Box for that hatch pattern will have a check beside the Enable Seed Point setting. Remove the checkmark beside this option to restore the original unshifted hatch pattern position.
