Here’s a little trick for those of you who Must place a filled region directly into a sheet view… I know that most of the time you’d be much better off by creating a legend view for an instance such as that shown above.  However sometimes it may be nice to just create a typical symbol legend the old school way and copy that around to each new project. 

 The solution?

All you need is ANY autocad file with a hatch in it.  Import this file onto a sheet, then explode the import.  Among all the resulting garbage, you are left with a filled region.  You can then modify it to fit your needs.  Need more? Just copy the existing filled region around and then modify. 

Anyway, that’s my tip of the day.. errr.. week. I’m back to my brand new Revit 2009!
