option hatches or fills only the outermost level of the structure and leaves the
internal structure blank.
Normal Hatches or fills inward from the outer boundary. If HATCH encounters
an internal island, it turns off hatching or filling until it encounters another
island within the island.
Associativity
Specifies that the new hatch pattern is updated when its boundaries are
modified.
A new hatch pattern's associativity is set by the HPASSOC system variable.
Changing the associativity setting here also changes the setting in the
HPASSOC system variable.
Gap Tolerance
Sets the maximum size of gaps that can be ignored when objects are used as
a hatch boundary. The default value, 0, specifies that the objects must enclose
the area with no gaps.
Any gaps equal to or smaller than the value you specify in the gap tolerance
are ignored, and the boundary is treated as closed.
Separate Hatches
Controls whether the command creates a single hatch object or multiple hatch
objects when several separate closed boundaries are specified.
Draw Order
Assigns the draw order to a hatch or fill. You can place a hatch or fill behind
all other objects, in front of all other objects, behind the hatch boundary, or
in front of the hatch boundary.
