Indeed, the utility of hatch patterns can, therefore, not be called into question. Additionally, they can be used to represent elements such as walls and furniture in architectural drawings. Similarly, hatch patterns help differentiate between the vegetation in a given area when they are used in landscape drawings. It is through the use of hatch patterns that you can easily determine at first glance whether the drawing represents a section view or an orthographic view of a part. Of these elements, hatch patterns breathe life into a drawing, helping improve the readability of the drawing. The clarity and readability are pegged on a number of elements, including but not limited to the dimensioning, the views used, line weights, and the use of hatch patterns. A CAD or technical drawing is intended to relay clear design instructions to fabricators, product designers, builders, engineers, architects, students, and all other parties involved.
