Hide or remove boundary
objects to create hatches without borders.
To create hatches that have no boundary objects,
do one of the following:
- Erase the boundary objects of an existing
hatch.
- Trim an existing hatch to objects that
cross the edges of the hatch. After trimming, erase the objects.
- Define hatch boundary points with the
Draw option of the -HATCH command.
To hide a hatch's boundary
objects, assign the boundary objects to a different layer than the
hatch object, and then turn off or freeze the layer of the boundary
objects. This method maintains hatch associativity.
To create an unbounded
hatch
- At the Command prompt, enter -hatch.
- Enter p to specify
Properties.
- Enter the name of the pattern. For example,
enter earth to specify the EARTH pattern.
- Specify the scale and angle for the hatch
pattern.
- Enter w to specify
Draw Boundary.
- Enter n to discard
the polyline boundary once the hatch area has been defined.
- Specify points to define the boundary.
Enter c to close the polyline boundary.
- Press Enter twice to create the hatch.
