Hatch angle when using rotated view?

Mats_Knutsson

Hi,
We're working on a project which is rotated 22,5 degrees, so we use a rotated view and we want a 45 degree hatch for new elements (renovation project) and since the view is rotated we set the hatch angle to 67.5 (45+22,5) degree hatch that's looking good in plan. But...in section the hatch is of course 67.5 degrees. It's readable but it's ugly.

Any smart minds out there with a solution?

Cheers,
Mats

Instead of a regular Fill use a Composite with Fill Orientation set to Element Origin.
It will rotate with the views automatically and it will show in section correctly,
