Summary
The
Hatch visor (page 484) or Hatch and Gradient dialog box (page 472) is
displayed.
If you enter -hatch at the Command prompt, options are displayed (page
490).
NOTE To prevent the creation of an enormous number of hatch lines, the
maximum number of hatch lines created in a single hatch operation is limited.
This limit prevents memory and performance problems. However, you can change
the maximum number of hatch lines with the
HPMAXLINES (page 1326) system
variable.
Choose from several methods to specify the boundaries of a hatch.
 Specify a point in an area that is enclosed by objects.
 Select objects that enclose an area.
 Specify boundary points using the -HATCH Draw option.
