Multi-Colored Hatches

[autocad.wishlist1734]

Summary: The ability to create and use multi-colored hatches.

Description: I would like to be able to create and use multi colored hatches. An example would be a multi color stone tile pattern.

How Used: Currently hatches can only use the default color. But if I needed to use multiple colors within a hatch like for stone pavers or roof tiles, etc. I'd have to explode the hatch and manually change the colors. Also having multiple colors within the hatch allows us a greater variety of hatches and textures without having to use rendering or raster textures.

Feature Affinity: Hatch

Attached is an example of what I'm requesting:

This can be done sort of using a background Color.

Think it would be nice though to somehow specify alternating colors as per your paving pic. The problem though even though you could probably create hatch pattern files including this information, there are hundreds of patterns you could create with paving. So you would need some sort of understanding how the hatch pattern is set out with a text file. Then specify how you want your pattern arranged.
