Now the good thing about this is, is if you remember rightly, we placed both our hatch and our gradient fill as one object. So, they're not separated. So if I come down here and hover now, can you see there's the hatch? If I click, I'll either get one or the other. I'll either get the hatch or the gradient fill. Now, you'll notice that it's very easy to check which one. Now, if you've got the hatch pattern, up here in the pattern, you would see your hatch patterns. Things like your ANSI31 that you used here. Now you'll notice I've got, at the moment, my gradient fills. So I'm using my GR_LINEAR which is there. And you'll notice there's a little message that's popped up about non-associative hatch boundaries. You can ignore that. That's not a major…
