Change shape fill type

Yanko

Using PDB designer 16.6.

I'd like to put a shape on the silkscreen layer that is a copy of a route keepout shape but is crosshatched. If use the shape copy feature (Z-copy) I can create the shape but it comes in as static solid. I have not found a way to make it crosshatched. I can draw a new on but it's complicated enough that it would be painful.

Thanks!

    Once you have the "Static Solid" shape, Shape>Select Shape or Void (Isolation / Cavity), select the Shape with a left-click and right-click>Parameters, in the Shape Fill tab, change the Solid drop-down to Diag_Both (say), then set the LineWidth and Spacing to get the cross-hatch pattern. LineWidth probably needs to be at least 8Mil, 0.2mm, and Spacing 20Mil, 0.5mm, to be effective as a staring point for the cross-hatch in Silkscreen.
