Arc Hatch

The Hatch tool makes it possible to create hatches and fills in a drawing and includes the following methods of construction:

	Line by specifying two points;
	Arc by specifying three points;
	Arc by specifying start, center, end points;
	Circle by specifying a center point and radius.

The mouse cursor always shows what hatch contour point will be the next to be specified depending on the selected construction mode. For example, if an arc is constructed by specifying start, center and end points, the mouse cursor changes as follows:

The contour of the hatch having been created is not displayed.

Please note that a hatch won't be created correctly if its borders are crossed.
