I swore I saw this come up as a feature request once but I cannot find anything when I search.

Anyhow, it would be very cool to have DRAW2DHATCH drawing token for 2D Cut Parts elevation instructions. 

My thoughts are that it would be setup similarly to other drawing instructions where the text that proceeds the token would callout the hatch pattern and layer. To make this truly cool would be to have the rotation of the hatch pattern reference the rotation of the part so that any "grained" hatch pattern would run along the length of the part.

I've seen posts with other suggestions on how to do this (mainly, duplicating part drawing instructions in the 2D Elevation Instructions in the Prompts tab and using a combination of DRAWRECTANGLE/DRAWPOLYLINE and DRAWHATCH.) But this would allow users to easily create hatched elevations without having to get into the weeds with the other drawing tokens.

Another option that I would definitely appreciate would be to utilize Parameters 1, 2, and 3. Parameter 1 being the hatch pattern. Parameter 2 being the hatch scale. Parameter 3 being the layer.

Imagine how much faster mistakes could be caught and eliminated by being able to add hatches to elevations! Visual cues and catches are the quickest way to minimize mistakes. Not only that, imagine how slick your shop drawings would look with a nice grain pattern (or even solid pattern for non-grained materials)! SOLID hatches would be awesome! Think about it... Say you have a room and both PL1 and PL2 are solid colors. Let's say the uppers are one finish and the bases are another. How cool would it be to have that SOLID hatch layer display with a different color for each! Now on your shop drawings you would have a clear distinction that is much quicker and easier to recognize compared to a color tag or leader. Think of that as you are hovering around in your actual DWG and being able to quickly identify different materials without having to zoom into that color tag!! 

Sorry, I nerded out there for a minute. Bottom line, this would be awesome!!
