While selecting objects, you can right-click at any time in the drawing area
to display a shortcut menu. You can undo the last selection or all selections,
change the selection method, change the island detection style, or preview
the hatch or fill.
Draw Boundary
Uses specified points to define the boundary of a hatch or fill.
The options that are available as you specify points are also available in
PLINE
(page 796). When you complete the polyline boundary, press Enter. You can
then create additional polyline boundaries, or press Enter to twice to apply
the hatch.
NOTE To enclose an area completely, use the Close option. Do not make the first
and last points coincident.

added.

pick point of the hatch

viewport. Selecting this option discards any current boundary set and uses
everything visible in the drawing or in the current viewport.
Retain Boundary
Creates an object that encloses each hatch object.
Island Detection
Specifies whether to use objects within the outermost boundary as boundary
objects.
Specifying no island detection prompts for the ray casting method.

traces the boundary in a counterclockwise direction.
