Welcome to the HatchPro module. This module provides dynamic hatching and
user-defined pattern fills.

1) The HatchPro module

Please refer to the HatchPro User Manual for information on how to use this
module. You should have received a printed or electronic copy of the HatchPro
User Manual with your copy of HatchPro.

1.1) Important update regarding exporting files to Impression, OvationPro etc.

Please note that in contrast to what is written in early versions of the
electronic or printed version of the HatchPro manual, third-party applications
like Impression, OvationPro, Composition, OHP2, etc. are perfectly capable of
rendering ArtWorks files with HatchPro fills. The only prerequisite for this is
that version 1.32 or higher of AWRender (the ArtWorks rendering module) is
installed. AWRender is part of the free AWViewer utility that can be downloaded
from: http://www.mw-software.com/software/awmodules/awrender.html#download

The original version of AWRender as published by Computer Concepts only copes
with the fill types that were known to ArtWorks 1.1, so if such an old version
of AWRender is installed, Impression and other applications crash with an error
message when importing an ArtWorls file with HatchPro fills. If you want to
make sure that HatchPro fills are always displayed correctly and do not cause a
crash in other applications irrespective of the version of AWRender that is
installed, you have to use Draw export. However, this has several drawbacks and
it should not normally be necessary because it should be easy enough to make
sure that AWRender 1.32 or higher is installed.
