The
Line Fill
function creates a line or hatch fill pattern, typically used for engraving with an engraving tool.
It can also be used for coloring in shapes with a pen or embossing some materials with an embosser.

To access this function, select a shape and go to
Effects>Line Fill
:
Line Spacing:
This is selected based on the width of t
he line produced by the tool to be used. If it’s too
small to accurately measure, use 0.02” or 0.5 mm for a small test shape and then adjust, as needed, to
fit the tool and application.
Angle:
Choose an angle for the
Line Fill
. An
Angle
of 0 results in horizontal lines and an
Angle
of 90
results in vertical lines. Note the diagonal pattern in the prior screenshot using an
Angle
of 45.

dropping down to engrave or draw. In some applications, it may need to be unchecked to provide a
more even appearance, however it will take much longer to execute:
