Make sure the HATCH scale is not extremely large or extremely small.After you are done, of course, delete the lines or put them on a non-plotting layer. When hatching huge areas, I find it faster to make several hatches to fill the space.

You can either hatch one segment, then use HATCHEDIT to add more areas to your hatch, or make separate hatches. Draw a couple of lines through the area to be hatched and hatch it by segments.Click on the joined object, pull up the properties pop-up (PROP command), look near the bottom of the pop-up, and you'll see an option "closed". Check that "joined" lines are truly joined in a closed shape.This will avoid potential "leaks". If you don't want the lines or plines joined together forever, cut and paste into a separate DWG first. If you have a lot of plines or lines touching each other, use the JOIN command to make them into one unbroken piece.Use BPoly to turn separate plines into solid boundaries.Then hatch, copy the hatch, and again paste to original coordinates. PURGE to get rid of unnecessary stuff that may have come in with it. Right click and select Clipboard -> paste to original coordinates. Cut and paste the area to be hatched into a separate DWG.Honestly, it's never helped me, but theoretically it should. AutoCAD won't get as confused trying to find the edges of the area, and once you have the hatch in place you can change it to look however you want. Try something like "DOTS" set to a scale of 1.00. Start with a simple pattern, then edit the pattern once you've finished hatching.Pan out until you can see the entire area that will be hatched.Instead of having hatch extend all the way to gosh-knows-where, it will only extend to the edge of the polygon, saving you a ton of time and a possible freeze. This doesn't actually make hatch work any better, but it's a good failsafe to practice in case your area doesn't hatch correctly. Draw a polygon around the area to be hatched, and delete it afterward.

And turn off any layers you won't need during the hatching command. If you're one of those lazy users that always reuses the same file, and has ten different projects off to the side in model space, delete them and PURGE again.
#MODIFY UNDO COMMAND IN ACAD 2016 HOW TO#
An even bigger mystery is how to explain to your non-CAD coworkers why it took all afternoon to color a map. Among the mysteries of the universe is why a program that can build a scale 3-D model of the solar system cannot seamlessly perform some of the same functions that my Super Nintendo did in Mario Paint. Users may also watch below video for the guide difference between Burst vs Explode command.Can't get AutoCAD to hatch an area? As frequently as this happens, I could have just titled this article "Using Hatch in AutoCAD". I used Explode command on the other side text as the resulting, text value changed into the tag value as shown in below pic-2. On the left side text (Title), I used Burst command, as the resulting, text is same as in attribute block. Somes attribute blocks are given in pic-1.īoth commands are applied on attribute blocks as shown in pic-2. Explode command you can find under Modify Toolbar.For example, the difference between burst vs explode command is given in the below pictures.

Explode command uses to break simple blocks.
