Gerber file creation

I am new to PCB design so have started with 'Spark' after a recomendation. I have found it relatively easy to use, however, how do you create hatching or does it have to be a solid area. Also does the program automatically creat a gerber file or do I have to create one once I have finished my design?

To generate Gerbers simply go to the Output menu and select 'Manufacturing plots' (or press SHIFT+P), and select 'Gerber' on the output tab in the dialog which appears.

As for creating a cross-hatched fill - I cannot see how that is done in the current version. Someone else may be able to answer that.
