And then, after all, the hatch command was able to make the hatch. And I was able to make a polyline from it without problems. But today I decide not to do it" To the example mentioned before - Just for fun I deleted all the lines that are no boundaries for my desired hatch. It is like AutoCAD would say: "Okay, I could make a hatch for you. No possibility to generate a hatch but the preview (when I hoover the crosshair) works fine before. Today I tried to make a hatch in an area sourrounded by lines and arcs. Thank you for your accurate summary of the fact, that AutoDESK was not able to program a hatch command that works reliable even on difficult geometry (and sometimes very simple geometry) since 1989 (the year I bgan to work with AutoCAD. Check it out if you're ready for a drastic change in subject material.

I hope you all enjoyed, and feel free to leave any more ideas in the comments section.Īlso, and unrelated, I also write theology for the blog. This will look terrible and cause its own set of problems, but if the board meeting is in 5 minutes and nothing else is working, this might just get you through, and look slightly better than filling it in with a Sharpie marker.

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, make an image elsewhere and add it to your AutoCAD DWG by either a PDF underlay or inserting an image such as a TIFF file. This would work in a situation such as having several areas already hatched and an outlined area in between them that's having difficulty hatching. Hatch a simple shape, such as a square, then right click to select draw order -> send to back, and place under the outlined area. Use an external program such as Canvas that can handle DWG images to do the hatching part. Make sure the HATCH scale is not extremely large or extremely small. After you are done, of course, delete the lines or put them on a non-plotting layer. When hatching huge areas, I find it faster to make several hatches to fill the space. You can either hatch one segment, then use HATCHEDIT to add more areas to your hatch, or make separate hatches. Draw a couple of lines through the area to be hatched and hatch it by segments. Click on the joined object, pull up the properties pop-up (PROP command), look near the bottom of the pop-up, and you'll see an option "closed". 
Check that "joined" lines are truly joined in a closed shape. This will avoid potential "leaks". If you don't want the lines or plines joined together forever, cut and paste into a separate DWG first. If you have a lot of plines or lines touching each other, use the JOIN command to make them into one unbroken piece. Use BPoly to turn separate plines into solid boundaries. Then hatch, copy the hatch, and again paste to original coordinates. PURGE to get rid of unnecessary stuff that may have come in with it. Right click and select Clipboard -> paste to original coordinates. Cut and paste the area to be hatched into a separate DWG. Honestly, it's never helped me, but theoretically it should. AutoCAD won't get as confused trying to find the edges of the area, and once you have the hatch in place you can change it to look however you want. Try something like "DOTS" set to a scale of 1.00. Start with a simple pattern, then edit the pattern once you've finished hatching. Pan out until you can see the entire area that will be hatched. Instead of having hatch extend all the way to gosh-knows-where, it will only extend to the edge of the polygon, saving you a ton of time and a possible freeze. This doesn't actually make hatch work any better, but it's a good failsafe to practice in case your area doesn't hatch correctly. Draw a polygon around the area to be hatched, and delete it afterward. And turn off any layers you won't need during the hatching command. If you're one of those lazy users that always reuses the same file, and has ten different projects off to the side in model space, delete them and PURGE again. Before hatching, do whatever you need to do to cut down the amount of data going on in your drawing. 
Nevertheless, here are some tried-and-true "solutions":

An even bigger mystery is how to explain to your non-CAD coworkers why it took all afternoon to color a map. Among the mysteries of the universe is why a program that can build a scale 3-D model of the solar system cannot seamlessly perform some of the same functions that my Super Nintendo did in Mario Paint. Can't get AutoCAD to hatch an area? As frequently as this happens, I could have just titled this article "Using Hatch in AutoCAD".
