MIRRHATCH
Controls how MIRROR reflects hatch patterns.
Control the Hatch Origin Point
Each hatch pattern is aligned with an origin point. Changing the origin point
shifts the pattern.
By default, hatch patterns are aligned with the origin point of the user
coordinate system. However, sometimes you need to move the origin point
of the hatch object. For example, if you create a brick pattern, you can start
with a complete brick in the lower-left corner of the hatched area by specifying
a new origin point.
The hatch origin and its behavior depend on settings in the user interface that
control the HPORIGIN, HPORIGINMODE, and HPINHERIT system variables.
Alternatively, you can control hatch patterns by changing the location and
orientation of the user coordinate system.
