SOLIDWORKS 2018 Drawing Area Hatch applied to Layer

SOLIDWORKS 2018 Drawing Area Hatch can now be assigned to a specific layer.  This provides more control over the colour of hatches in drawings, as well as the ability to Hide/Show and set Print On/Off.

The PropertyManager of a selected Area Hatch/Fill has a Layer dropdown to select from existing layers.  This applies to both automatic hatch from Section Views and manually applied hatches using Insert > Annotations > Area Hatch/Fill.
