Define Hatch Boundaries in Large Drawings
By default, AutoCAD defines the boundary by analyzing all the closed objects
in the drawing. Analysis of all objects fully or partially visible on the screen
as boundaries can be time consuming in a complex drawing. To hatch a small
area of a complex drawing, you can define a set of objects in the drawing
called a boundary set. When you specify an internal point within the bound-
ary set, AutoCAD does not analyze objects that are not included in the
boundary set. Boundary sets are also useful for applying hatches to islands
differently in different sections of a drawing.
