Hi,

for graphics that are printed in black and white (especially technical drawings), it would be nice to use shadings (or is it called hatching? german: Schraffur; see attachment for an example) instead of filling with some gray background. Just like it is done in CAD programms like AutoCad). Is there a nice way to make hatches?

Thanks and best regards,
Kurt

This could be a Pro only feature, but you access pattern fills using the Colour palette when applying a "Fill":

Note, if you use a linear or radial blend fill, you can use two hatchings together to make combinations:
