An hatch is defined at a paper size. You can create individual annotative hatch
objects as well as annotative hatch patterns.
The hatch pattern definitions stored in the acad.pat file contain information
that indicates whether the pattern is annotative or non-annotative. When
the selected hatch pattern is annotative, the Annotative checkbox in the Hatch
and Gradient dialog box should be selected.
You can use the HPANNOTATIVE system variable to specify whether or notnew
hatches are annotative. By default, new hatch objects are nonannotative.
The orientation of annotative hatches always matches the orientation of the
layout.
