Pattern styles apply to the interior of objects. Closed objects such as rectangles, circles,
polygons, text objects, and wedges are completely filled.
Open or partially open objects, such as polylines or freehand objects, can also take a
pattern style. The Graphics editor draws an imaginary line from the start and end points,
and then fills the object as a closed object.
The pattern color is not determined by the foreground or background color selected for an
object. Instead, you must apply pattern colors separately.
To open the Pattern Styles toolbar
 Select View > Toolbars > Pattern Styles.
To apply a pattern color
1. Right-click the graphic object, and then select Properties.
2. In the Properties dialog box, select the Pattern color box, and then select a pattern
color.

Properties dialog box, or in the Property Panel. The line styles are:
Line style uses both the foreground color and background color attributes. Foreground
color applies to the line, and background color applies to the spaces in the line.
For example, to obtain the dash-dot line, choose black as the foreground color, and choose
white as the background color. Black is applied to the dots and dashes and white is applied
to the spaces between the dots and dashes.
