16 Pen & Pattern Properties Properties determine the appearance of an entity- onscreen and in print. Pen properties, such as color, style, and width, define the outline of an entity. Pattern properties, such as solid fill color, hatches, and bitmap images define how an entity is filled. You can control pen and pattern properties from the property bar. AutoSketch also provides several tools that allow you to hatch areas instead of entities. For instance, you can drag-and-drop hatch patterns or bitmap fills from the Content Librarian to the overlapping area of two rectangles. AutoSketch also allows you to match the properties of one entity to another using the Property Painter tool.
