To create hatches that have no boundary objects, do one of the following:
Erase the boundary objects of an existing hatch.
Trim an existing hatch to objects that cross the edges of the hatch. After
trimming, erase the objects.
Define hatch boundary points with the Draw option of the -HATCH
command.
To hide a hatch's boundary objects, assign the boundary objects to a different
layer than the hatch object, and then turn off or freeze the layer of the
boundary objects. This method maintains hatch associativity.
