ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to describe methods of using layers and explains the value of layers when constructing drawings. It also aims to give examples of the use of hatching in its various forms. Using layers is an important feature in the successful construction of drawings in AutoCAD. The chapter describes the properties of the layer properties manager in the acadiso.dwt template. When constructing a drawing on layers, it will be necessary to make current the layer for the linetype being used, its colour or other properties of the layer. There are a large number of hatch patterns available when hatching drawings in AutoCAD 2020. The chapter presents a step-by-step instruction and examples of the hatching. It provides exercise for the reader to perform drawing using layers and hatching.
