Would be nice to have a little preview window when selecting hatch patterns.
Enhancement 995542 has been filed for this request.
Meant to edit my response but reported it as Abusive. I wanted to state that the Zoom In/Out would not be useful, but the Pattern Scale setting should be included and preview should react to PS changes.
If a pattern from a .pat file is selected, It should also display the results of a .pat file selection.
Also a good idea, Ivo. I basically only thought of a window just like a font preview in MS Word, so you can see a bit of the pattern when selecting from the drop down list. It would also be great if the drop down list could be expanded in its width so you don't have to scroll if the pattern name is longer than 10 digits. That probably doesn't happen very often but if you e. g. also use the ACAD patterns without renaming them you have to scroll horizontally.
Good idea. That way you can check whether a custom hatch is tileable or not. Or see if it makes sense at all to use a certain hatch. And bring a zoom in/out option along with the pattern preview window as well.
