Re: Hatching Help
Gaps or overlapping entities are the reason for a failing HA hatch command. However - there are different possibilities to solve the issue - you may try this one first:
Select the contour, launch the hatch tool H,A. If it doesn't works then a message will tell you "Loop not closed at point .... and a small little circle (hard to see!) will show you where the first problem is located.
Check the area of this circle and fix the problem. Then again, select the contour, launch the hatch tool H,A and look for the next circle. Fix it again.
In this case there are three problems ...
When everything is cleaned the HA tool will notice that and instead of the warning and the little circle indicator the hatch dialog pops up.
After choosing the intended settings it could look like this ...
How to avoid this exercise? I believe you have already a clue ...

Re: Hatching Help
I also noticed that in order to have Hatch functioning properly, you must really make sure your drawing is accurate,
At the moment i'm preparing drawings to be etched, and all the material that has to "Stay" has to be Hatced with a solid fill.. I have had my fair share of problems in the past, due to "sloppy drawing"
By the way.. are you building a steam locomotive?
