Also in the preferred embodiment, the user would be given an additional button from which to chose, a “Modify” button. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, each hatch pattern and the coordinates for that pattern in the current drawing are saved for use by the wizard utility, to improve the clean-up accuracy of subsequently processed drawings.

The buttons below the Hatch pane 36 give the user the ability to expand or delete selected hatch patterns, or to select a hatch pattern and then expand or delete any other hatch patterns that are the same as the selected hatch pattern. Selecting the “Expand All” button will cause all hatch patterns listed in Hatch pane 36 to be exploded into the objects the hatch patterns contain, such as lines, circles, arcs, etc. If the user knows that none of the hatch patterns in the current drawing are needed, the user can selected the “Delete All” button at the top of the Hatch pane 36.
