You either go full colour or, indeed, use another fill you draw yourself.<BR /> <BR /> I've learned to live without them. It's a limitation and annoying, but it's not worth the extra time of updating fills manually with every change.<BR /> <BR /> I do sometimes use different pen colours for the hatch itself. We have a black, grey, blue, red and green range of pens with 10 different line weights in the dutch template pen set. All conveniently numbered from 1-10, 21-30, 41-50 etc. So pen 1 is black in print with certain line weight, pen 21 is the same line weight, but grey, 41 is blue (I think), etc. This also works nicely.<BR /> <BR /> Especially the grey and blacks work nice together. See below for screenshot from a project where I used it to distinguish different masonry.
