Selecting Patterns

To indicate (select\deselect) a hatch pattern or area fill pattern, point to any portion of the pattern with the mouse. The entire pattern entity to which you have pointed is selected and changes color.

If the pattern covers an extensive area, the system frequently breaks it down into several pattern entities. In that case, indicate a few more points in the pattern until the entire pattern is selected.

To indicate or select a linear pattern, point near its baseline. If you wish, you can display the baselines of linear patterns using the Display baselines (\txtul) command (see Text).
