Locating this option
Available from: Setup menu > Technology option > Naming - Hatch Style Naming tab
Using the dialog
On selection, the Technology dialog opens, select Hatch Style Naming. The existing naming style for the Technology being used will be presented.
The appropriate rule is found for each Style Naming rule by working down the list until the first match is found. Hence, the order of the rules is important.
Navigation
The buttons to the right side of the dialog are used to navigate the grid, the general common buttons are detailed on the Technology Navigation page.
Use the Settings button to define the Units and Units text for use within the Style Naming.
Replace All
The Basic Set button is used to replace all the current contents of your rules with a basic set of rules. These can also be edited once inserted to your own requirements.
Using the editing pane
Is Circular
When the Is Circular box is selected, this will check if the style type uses circles rather than lines.
Is Cross Hatched
When the Is Cross Hatched box is selected, this will check if the style is defined as a cross hatch.
Match Coverage
When the Match Coverage box is selected, this enables you to match the Coverage field and to define a value in the Less Than or Equal To: entry. As this rule entry specifies, the style coverage must be less than or equal to what you have entered as the style. This means different rules can be created based on a % coverage defined for the Hatch style.
Template
The Template: entry shows the template that will be used when the rule matches. You can type the template directly, or you can use the Field controls to add system defined fields. More information on how rules work is on the Style Naming Rules page.

<Hatch Circle>(<Radius r=:>%) (<cover:>%)
The Hatch style will look like this:

Export and Import CSV
Use the Export CSV button to export the data in your design into a CSV format file. Using the Export CSV option will provide you with a formatted template ready for you to edit in your own data.
Use the Import CSV button to import data back into the design using a CSV format file.
The data in the file represents a spreadsheet of dialog contents with the data headings along the top row.
Units
The Units button allows you to locally switch between Metric and Imperial units whilst in this dialog. Once the dialog is closed, the units revert back to the original design units. If switching to different units to the design units, the value typed will be converted when you next enter this page.
