JP,

I found some time to test your zone hatching patch over the weekend and
it looks really good.  I do agree with the previous comment that there
should be a way to set a radius of the corners created by the hatch
intersections.  I imagine the sharp corners would be less than ideal in
high speed designs.  There should also be reasonable default values in
the zone dialog when using hatched zones.  Keep up the good work.

Thanks,

Wayne
