Topic: Hatch Boundary

[adrian]

One of the guys here has a problem when hatching.  When he picks a point within a boundary and creates the hatch, it then places the boundary as part of the hatch.  So if you were to select the hatch, it would select the boudary as well.  Normally it would only select the hatch with a grip in the middle, but when it is selected all the grips for the boundary are selected as well.
Is there a system variable somewhere that needs to be changed?
Thanks for your help in advance.

In the Options dialog (gotten by typing OP or CONFIG), on the Selection tab, uncheck "Associative Hatching".

Or you can subract 2 from the PICKSTYLE system variable - 0 and 1 mean Associative Hatching off, 2 and 3 mean Associative Hatching on.  (0 and 2 mean Group Selection off, 1 and 3 mean Group Selection on).

Thanks Sinc,  that worked.
