I have followed the hatching guide in the manual to the letter,...

selected a 1000x500 rectangle

selected 'earth fill'
scales from 0.001 to 1000 in x10 increments

and none of them seem to produce anything on-screen? or on the print preview...

they say hatch completed successfully? ?

what am I missing out?

I have patchy sucess with this command...

I have turned all the layers so that they are not visible, and used the rectangle command then sometimes it says it cant find a complete contour? even though the only thing I can see is a rectangle I have just drawn on layer 0?

I can forward a file if that would help? I am using a mac under OS x 10.3.9
