Object Type
Controls the type of the new boundary object. The resulting boundary object
can be either a polyline or a region object. This option is available only when
Retain Boundaries is selected. (
HPBOUND (page 1359) system variable)
For more information about regions, see Create and Combine Areas (Regions).
Boundary Set
Defines the set of objects analyzed when defining a boundary from a specified
point. The selected boundary set has no effect when you use Select Objects
to define a boundary.
By default, when you use the Add: Pick Point option to define a boundary,
HATCH analyzes all objects in the current viewport extents. By redefining the
boundary set, you can disregard certain objects when defining boundaries
without having to hide or remove those objects. For large drawings, redefining
the boundary set can also produce the boundary faster because HATCH
examines fewer objects.
Current Viewport Defines the boundary set from all objects within the extents
of the current viewport.
Existing Set Defines the boundary set from the objects selected with the New
option.
New
Specifies a limited set of objects for evaluation by the pick point when creating
the hatch.
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.
Enter a value, in drawing units, from 0 to 5000 to set the maximum size of
gaps that can be ignored when the objects serve as a hatch boundary. Any
gaps equal to or smaller than the value you specify are ignored, and the
boundary is treated as closed. (
HPGAPTOL (page 1362) system variable)
Inherit Options
Controls whether to inherit the hatch origin when you create a hatch with
the Inherit Properties option. (HPINHERIT (page 1362) system variable)
Use Current Origin Uses the current hatch origin setting.
Use Source Hatch Origin Uses the hatch origin of the source hatch.
