Hi,

I am looking for ways to create fill symbols for mapping projects for an environmental resources group (Wet Del, Impact Plates, etc).  For example, I tried to create a custom hexagon symbol fill, but it overlaps at some points and is somewhat difficult to get the offsets and separations to align perfectly. (See attached)


Does Arc has additional fill symbols for download? Seems like there should be some stock fill symbols for DL somehwere.

Thanks,

The symbols generally look worse in ArcMap than when exported. You can get things pretty close in the symbology property editor by zooming in to 400%. See below for an export to PDF. There are some deviations zoomed into 800%, but I'd say it's pretty good.

Thanks, Darren. Seems like some more tweaking of the fill properties and all should be good. However, I wish Esri had some additional stock presets for fills like this.
