Go to your help files and search Pen Table. You will find Example: table.pnt File. In the table entries, you can specify what color names are associated with which pens.

A full list of color names can be found under Assigning Colors to Another Pen.

Oh, I see. If you change the color of the cross-hatch to another style, it will plot with the new lineweight.

Select the hatch, right click and click on Properties. The menu manager pops up and you want to change Line Style. use the Copy from Style and pick one of the other styles... for instance, Geometry. Apply>Done and your hatch is now the Geometry color and attributes for plotting.

Hi. How did it go?

I have the same problem that i want another color of the hatch.

Modify all parts is not an option for me.
