Yes, I went to move the right hatch & ACAD locked up.

42, what sort of reactors do you have set up in vba or lisp? Do you have many, a few or any that you know of?

But it's your drawing that seems to be talking in tongues. Anybody in your office capable of conjuring these sort of things up?

Daron, associative hatches reference the boundary objects - and vice versa. That the boundary has a 102 code reactor thingie only means that it's being referenced by an associative hatch. It's normal.

For the problem at hand, check out TS60223 for drawing complex patterns at high coordinate values.

Hm. I didn't think about that. The hatch didn't look like it was associative even though it claimed to be. Agh! I even looked into this one:

Set the SNAPBASE variable to a coordinate close to the coordinates for the hatch boundary

and it worked, but I failed to mention it, because I thought the results would turn out the same as match props did.

At home now. I will try the snap base tomorrow. If it works then thanks, if not........keep on scratching.

8) Question ???
Might it have something to do with being too far from the origin ?

Yes, it's the "too far from the origin" problem.  Surveyors/civil types have experienced that problem since Day 1 of AutoCAD. You can fix the "broken" hatch using HATCHEDIT>>apply after setting your snapbase or UCS origin close to the hatch.

Gentlemen. Well that certainly seems to fixed the problem. I moved the ucs to the area of the drawing where all of my work is. I now recollect that some time ago there was a post concerning offsetting a rectangles distant from 0,0 with a similar solution. Again thanks. :D

concrete hatching like that will go crazy when the origin point of the hatch has been altered or moved to a different position.

what i'm saying is:

when a block wall was hatched a large distance from 0,0 it used to go crazy.

if you moved the block wall close to 0,0 it was o.k. (but you had to re-hatch)

now...if you moved (or it has been moved) the snapbase point (the mountain instead of mohamad) a large ditance from the block you got the same problem.

is it possible that the origin point has moved?

possible quick solution...type snapbase. selcet a location close to the are to be hatched and try and hatch. see if that corrects the problem.

Wow! I don't know how old this thread is, but it sure helped my problem in LDD. This has been a thorn in my side for a long time!

whoa........hold on everyone.  dont panic.

the hatch probelm is a simple one.  the hatch pattern base is proably set at a point that is VERY far a wasy for the area bieng hatched.

type: snapbase.  it it doesn't say 0,0,0 then set it to 0,0,0

if the problem persists, then tyoe snapbase again, and select a point very close or on the boundary of the area you want to fill.  try it again and it should be o.k.
