Is there any way of setting the default for the Crosshatch Pattern ?

Also, in Customer Defaults I have the Crosshatch color set to 129. This only appears to work when I create a Section View. How do I set the default color for Insert->Crosshatch ?

I figured the color issue, the Drafting Templates differed to the Customer Defaults.
 
Sorry, the default Crosshatch Pattern is hard-coded. However, if you use something other than the 'default' and save your Drawing, the next time you add Hatching to THAT Drawing it will have remembered what pattern you last used.

However, starting with NX 7.5, dialog memory will take over it will be responsible for retaining your last pattern setting, so for all intents and purposes, the 'default' will now be whatever you used the last time.
