      I'm sure this has been addressed several hundred times before but my searches turned up no answers other than wish list entries. I'm working with multiple layer overlays of potentially visually confusing info which need to be shown a simultaneously, e.g., soil types and forest cover types for land planning. I'm not using LayOut. The forest types I have in colors and the best thing I've come up with for the soils is a black and white hatch (all edges are hidden for clarity). I tried customizing line and face patterns to do this but it is very time consuming to fit them given that the shapes are curvilinear, etc. I tried black and white hatches but the scales were too small as they were made for buildings and not acreage. If I could scale them up, they might work. How does one manipulate the SKM files?

      I found the hatchface plugin, which is a nice work around. Thank you, jolran.

      And I'll revisit TIG's 2D Tools.
