Create Annotative Hatches

Use an annotative hatch to symbolically represent material such as sand,

concrete, steel, earth, etc.

annotative on page 2289 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 non-annotative.

The orientation of annotative hatches always matches the orientation of the

layout.
