Has anyone noticed the new option in Drafting Filled Regions? There are 3 choices in "Orientation in Host Layers" : Orient to View; Keep Readable; Align with Element.

If you experimented with it, do they work as the title intends...is there some information from the factory of what they do?

Thanks in advanced,

Luigi

It solves the problem of fill patterns like for plywood or brick looking incorrect on filled regions rotated to an angle other than 0 or 90 degrees. Instead of having the fill pattern oriented always the same throughout the project, it can vary its angle for some instances if needed.

This is great for patterns in Wall Layers, because now they follow the wall orientation.

Very cool. I just installed 9.0 this morning and I am finding all sorts of small but nifty additions.

The new fill pattern option is very cool it solved a lot of our wall pattern issues specially diagonal walls before this the wall pattern looks terrible on diagonal walls.
