Changing color of imported CAD hatches
I've imported some CAD polygons, hatches, and annotation into arcmap using the Add Data tool. Once imported into arcmap, all of the colored hatches now appear white.Using the identify tool II am able to click on the various hatches. How do I changed the color of the hatches?
I just noticed I was clicking on the wrong link and not to your solution. Sorry about that. Will try it now to see if it works.
Below is an image of the individual white shapes surrounded by green lines. It's the white shapes I want to change to different colors.
Instep 1 of your link, you double click on the desired layer patch. In this case it would be Polygon correct?
Try this, expand your layer in the table of contents (click on the little plus sign), then right click on the square that shows your symbol (in your case it will likely be a green box that's white in the middle). Then choose a new color from the color list that drops down.
If that doesn't work, open your symbology dialog (symbol selector), click on Edit Symbol, and change the color in there.
If there are still issues, please post a screenshot of what you see in your symbol selector.
It won't let me right-click on those items:
