AutoCAD Hatch Transparency

Since AutoCAD 2011 there has been a  transparency property that allows you to apply transparency to objects & layers in the same way you apply colours, linetypes, and lineweights. Making it easy to create transparent hatches.

You can set opacity by layer, by block, or individually for an object.

The default setting for the transparency value for layers and objects is 0, the maximum value is 90.

Transparency set by "Bylayer"

It is recommended that the transparency setting in the layer manager is used to control visibility of transparent hatches. the hatch entitities (when listed) should report transparency set "Bylayer"
