Internal Point
Determines a boundary from existing objects that form an enclosed area
around the specified point.
Pick Internal Point While specifying internal points, you can right-click in
the drawing area at any time to display a shortcut menu that contains several
options.
If you turn on Island Detection, objects that enclose areas within the outermost
boundary are detected as islands. How HATCH detects objects using this option
depends on which island detection method is specified.
NOTE Red circles are displayed at unconnected endpoints of boundary objects
to identify gaps in the hatch boundary. These circles are temporary and can be
removed with
REDRAW (page 869) or REGEN (page 877).
Properties
Specifies new hatch pattern properties to apply.
