Layers and color to hatches

- [Instructor] If you apply a hatch area to your drawing, we now have the ability to add a layer to that as well as a color. Let me show you how it works. Right over here click on hatch area and fill and I'm going to go ahead and choose this area right here at the top. Notice that automatically fills in with a hatch style pattern. Click on OK and we've added a hatch. Now, this one happens to be blue so we already have a color assigned. Now, if you actually click on that one here, over here we can see which layer we're on. And if you want to switch to a different layer, you can switch it to a different layer here. Click on OK and you notice it'll automatically change color to the corresponding layer. Now, of course, we can show and hide layers by easily turning on the layers toolbar, right click anywhere in the gray area up here, come over here to layer, turn on that toolbar, it pops up right here and click on the layer properties and you can see here these are the different layers…
