Create a colored zone to highlight an area within a drawing

[tpabut]

How can I create a colored zone with a minimum of transparency to highlight a zone of my drawing??

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Take a look at Solid Hatch.

Check out the following Technical Documents on the AutoDesk web site under the Knowledge Base section -

ID: TS45373 - Set up plot screening

ID: TS22800 - Plotting screened colors

ID: TS46014 - Plot style table settings explained

Have a good one, Mike

Thanks,
but those methods only affects "density" of the colored zone, but not really the tranparency.

Hi

The following snippet is from an E-mail that "tpabut" sent (hopefully it may help someone come up with a suitable solution to "tpabut" issue) -

My question is, in that case, concerning a raster picture file on wich I want to higlight a zone.

Therefore have you looked at the ._Transparency command.

PullDownMenu: Modify -> Object -> Image -> Transparency

Might want to take a look at the following -

M-Color

Have a good one, Mike

The only workaround I am aware of is to create a dot hatch pattern with a density set to simulate a translucent hatch. Would be nice if it was added to AutoCAD as an addition to gradient fills.

It sounds like you need to create a solid hatch and then send to back.

Is this close?
